Basing guide with pictures

Postby Ploughsharestoswords » Sun Apr 08, 2012 3:35 pm

Hi,

Me and my second cousin have been thru basing hell, and came out on the other side with a basing guide to show for it.

You can buy commercial tufts of flowers. I bought one that has ~150 individual flower tufts in red, yellow and white from the model railway section of my hobby shop. They change up bases immensely! Heki was the brand; Army Painter also do some some.

Really useful stuff there.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

The flowers are from the army painter range and they really help to give the bases that little extra. I'm going to sit down some day and paint up some discarded shakos and backpacks to throw out on some of the emptier bases,

It's really encouraging to hear that you liked this guide as we have more ones planned, specially next month when I start to build my own gaming table.

I hope that if you share with us if you have any questions or something you want us to delve deeper into.
