oke so I bought some deah korp krieg from some one on this forum and I would like to make the bases look muddy.
any one have any idee's how I can do that.
wet mud look what I wane go for.

thx for any one how can help me

use greenstuff, just make a fairly thick layer over the base, then clump it in places.
if you have a model that has a tread on his boots then press that into a bass for more detail.
on bigger bases you could even make tank track marks.

You can also mix some PVA glue with fine sand and some dark brown paint and then use this to paint onto figures or on the base

thx I think I will trie both of the tips the pva gleu whit the normal troops ant the green stuf whit the more special units ( and yes death korp kriek have spiket boots )

ore try some combinations of it.
more tips are welkom

you can also try -
pva the base, add fine sand, then when the glue has started to set, cover with watered down pva (with a tiny drop of washing-up liquid to break the tension). this will smooth out the mix making it look more like wet mud.

you could also try wall filler - the stuff in the squeezy tube for filling small cracks will work really well. apply to base (try the warmachine ones to get good depth) then leave to set a bit. while still tacky, push in the mini to create footprints so you can locate the mini once the filler is dry.

thx to al 3 of you.
wil try it a bit when the moddels arive.

Practice on some empty bases first. Get the hang of what you want before putting it on any models.

practice on empty bases, that's a good way to start.

Rather than using regular sand, I'd go with some corn-meal. It is a cheap and easy way to get some fine sand for the base, and it mixes very well with extra glue.

I would put the corn meal or sand on the bases unevenly, trying to get lower points, then fill those in with green stuff or PVA glue. You might want to put two coats of the glue over some spots.

This will allow the mud to look like it puddles in certain points.

Also, you should probably do this after glueing the minis to their bases (although this is not necessary for the test bases) since that way you get the look of feet that are just a little sunk in the mud.

tnx
