Hi Folks,

Going to be doing my first ever extensive project for Warhammer soon.

Normally a base for my army is just, pva, dip in static grass, shake about. Let it dry.

But I've just started Ogre Kingdoms and decided to go a bit...nuts. (seeing as theres so few models....lets not mention the army back story I've decided on either....*dies a little inside)

I'm going to be chopping the top of my bases off - then gluing the shell to plasticard.

I then intend to create a swamp environment - and fill the hollows (large or small) with something for a water effect.

Would a resin like Envirotex Lite be best? Or would you suggest Vallejo Water Effect. (I'd like to be able to see to the bottom which is a few mm - on occasion I may also chop away the remaining plastic for a completely see through base) Or is there something I've missed which is miles better?

I also plan to drop a few drops of Green/blue Ink in to the mix so it isn't a pure water colour.

Fiiiiinally.

Does anyone know a good place to buy things like small leaves/plants for basing? (UK) I've already collected bundles of dead wood and broken bits of slate but always want more....

(Ps. Am I fine to set a model in this stuff too? Planning of having a few ogres with there feet stuck in the water with a few other bits and bobs)

Many thanks for your assistance.

Extra PS. I'll put a photo up when done - assuming not rubbish as a thank you also )
