Imperial Renegade wrote:Ok, well, I took wine bottel cork and glued it to the base. Then I dunked it in pva glue, and then applyed crazy glue. Afterwards, I washed it with Bada Black, then hevily dry brushed lime green onto the base. I then washed that it Griffion Sepia, and then lightly dry brushed a german green ontop of that. Giving me the layerd look. I painted this base with valleho colors. Glad you like it.

ahhh very nice, i like the layers of cork... it looks really cool! =]

Im glad you like it, I am very pleased!

and so you should be! =] =]

im going to get my hands on some cork and try this out if you dot mind! =], see what i can come up with!

i also need a few ideas with what to add to my bases as i have the pipes, but id like to continue that industrial theme but i cannot think of anything other than pipes ...

Try almost like a digestive pool, that would look cool if you can think of a way to do it. I dont mind at all, I think you should try. I got the Idea From a Friend, so... Hope you come up with something, How do you do the tubes??

ive actually got a half built digestion pool waiting to be finished!, not sure how im going to finish it off though ,

and haha cheers dude!, as for the tubes, they are just piping i bought from my local pet shop thats used to filtering fish tanks!

the stuff i buy is green see thru tubes!, then i just add the glue effect over the top and thats how it ends up! =] =]

Awsome! I going to try some straws.....

Imperial Renegade wrote:Awsome! I going to try some straws.....

That might look really kool if they were all bunched together, or in a formation of some sort! =]

To be honest, I cant wait to try!

haha, cant wait to see how it turns out! =] =]

Niether can I !!! LOL

Yo.... that Doom is freakin' wicked. Kudos on the conversion, it's rockin'.

And the bases: Sweet.
Diggin' the ooze, and that multilayered cork base is very nice, gives a good contrast but can still match most typical game-boards.

...bwahahaha....

Or perhaps an easy way to make extended brains for a Doom of Malantai...

You might try using your technique on the brains of the Doom...

which means another base to show off! =] =]

hope you guys like her! =]

aww cheers Fenrir, yeah im very happy at how the base turned out, i reckon its the best ive done so far!...

Timd - i think i might just do that with the brain!, that would look amazing! =] =]

Or perhaps an easy way to make extended brains for a Doom of Malantai...

Taking my Idea are we????? Great Minds Think Alike!

i wasnt even thinking about your idea when i was making her, just because i was doing a doom and not a Zoey lol ooops!

This is a great little technique, thanks for pointing it out!

no problem... =] =] and as you can see, with such a simple technique you can do so much! =]

So littel work, yet such a big reward! I love it! LOL

This is awesome, I saw a tutorial for this basing style a while back too (on Heresy Online, I think?). I used it to quick base my Nurgle CSM army, and I was super happy with how I was able to get nice looking bases so easily. Though I ended up painting mine a olive green, then gloss varnishing it for a "swamp" feel:

Dude Nice work on the base and The models! You really captured the swamp look!

oooft, they are fantastic!!

very nice work indeed! =] =] Well done! =]

Andrewgeddon, dude, why not just use this technique directly on the nurgle marines? It'd be a great way to convert normal marines to nurgle worshipers!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I just love the results of this basing technique, great results for minimal effort, was really happy with how they turned out.

I actually found that my CSM turned Nurgle pretty well with a pretty simple job, without having to do too much converting. I had them all painted Boltgun, because I had originally wanted to play them as Iron Warriors. When I decided to go over to Nurgle, I really didn't want to strip all of them and repaint them. So, I just used some orange-brown paint to make them rusty, gave them a quick green wash, then drybrushed with some gross-looking green for slime. Done, quick and easy!

Digging up this poor thread... What do you think?

I'll forgive you this time... it's only 2 weeks

I'm diggin' the idea. Helps to vary the terrain a bit.

Thanks!

It looks very good. Some of the bright ones should be more tannish/brownish though imo.

I really like the stuff you did with the ooze from the pipes. I bet if you mixed that with some sand or just something to give it a little texture you could make it look really gut like. So you could put half a guardsman on the base with some cool guts leaking out of him.

Thanks, Im Really pleased with how it turned out.

sorry ive not added much to this recently, been so busy with my skeleton guardsman army that ive not had time to make any new bases,

Imperial Renegade, that base is superb! =], loks great with the cut up sprue! =] =],

also keeblerpowell, thats a really great idea, i have a few spare guardsmen so i might try this for my new Tervigons base! =] =]
