Hey Guys!

I did some really cool stuff with my Necron Bases, with necron crystals and destroyed concrete. However I need inspiration or a how-to or something for Nurgle and Dark Eldar bases.

I'd love it if you guys could show me some pictures, guides, or even just text ideas!

I really appreciate it!

Have you thought about googling some images for nurgle and dark eldar, maybe?

I don't know a lot about them so I can't offer much :( Nurgle always seems to be on a mess Dark Eldar really not sure about

Anyway good luck

This is the best Dark Eldar basing I've ever seen



There's larger resolutions out there if you search-by-image

Some nurgle style plants on the bases kinda like when the dudesbgo into that cave in evolution, just a bit more nurgle?

I like the basing idea for the pits of commoragh, so random spikes and hazards everywhere, but you'd need to be playing Wych Cults

I feel like goopy bases are over done for nurgle

but i think what would be cool is those new gw plastic city bases, and make them rusty AF

dark/bright orange complementing greens and sepia whites.

at a loss for DE

what are your colors?

Alternative idea. Use the new GW plastic city bases, paint them all shiny and new, paint rust and corrosion around the models feet and behind them.
They've literally corrupted the ground they trod.

For Nurgle, I had an idea, which I might go forward with my own Nurgle: Nurgle creates life, disgusting life, but life. So fill the base with fungus and maggots and plants growing from dead bodies. Just a burst of growth, but growth from death.

The Dark Eldar work well with gore splattered on their base. You could focus on a particular enemy (Daemons of Slaanesh are a fluffy idea).

An original idea I once got from a friend of mine...



Paint/model the bases like the rest of your armies, or matching your own game area surface...

Love the whole 'nurgle creating disgusting life from death' idea i've got desert bases for most of my armies, so making Plaguebearers bring up foetid water around their feet would be a really cool idea!
