Ok so I'm doing Harlequins for kill team and I have pretty much finished painting them except for the bases. Are there any
eldar ruins type 25mm bases that I can purchase? I don't want to scratch build them, I'm way too noob for that so I'd like to see peoples recommendations. If possible I'd like this to tie in with the ruin that the Harlequins are jumping on.

Also, I have an army of stormcast that I have a paint scheme for but I need to get a base scheme. I would like to have a kind of mud/dirt ground with some autumn leaves as scatter. I was thinking stirland mud washed with agrax, but hen what colour to dry brush. Then for the leaves, I want to buy some scatter terrain for it but don't know what would work. I've had a good look o the internet for some and can't seem to find the perfect set. Does anyone know a really good set?

Thanks in advance.

I did the same. Micro Art studios make mystical ruins bases, pretty-much the same designs as on the Harlequin models.

Try here:

choose the style, then the sizes. I think the marble ruins would fit what you're looking for.

drybrushing sand texture- steel legion drab, ushabti bone

leaves- the old GW basing kits have various of brass leaves, but they are OOP outside of ebay; look at local Hobby Lobby store for modeling terrain products.

Thanks guys! I'll definitely be picking up those element games bases, thanks skinnereal

@FrozenDwarf does that mean I have to go and find the lead colour I want them? Because it's definitely not autumn right now.

have you seen these yet?

for the punchers, yes. or any other thin material that has a colour.
the box of leaves they sell as you see is brown.


or you have this if you want a good selection of natural stuff.

Secret Weapon's Alien Temple bases match in well with the eldar-style ruins you get on the Wraithlord base:

I did my eldar using Micro Art Studio's Wraithstone bases. https://shop.microartstudio.com/en/201-wraithstone

I added dirt to the recesses made up of fine sand mixed with scenic cement, bushes made up of coarse sand mixed with PVA and added fallen leaves scattered around (I can't remember where I got them from but the recommendations above are all good). I also used the scibor faces mentioned above to replace the rocks the shadow spectres come balanced on
