smucreo Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hey guys, thanks to you wonderful people I have a list I'm going to start building soon enough. With that, I wanted to know how you go about basing your death miniatures. Do you do something cool? Share them here, I'm interested in creating interesting bases!

Chipatola Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Basic death base would be a graveyard =) Which death faction your army will be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smucreo Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 GA:Death, I'm going mixed! I was thinking a cool option would be to try and do a blighted wasteland of some sort, like the land has been corrupted by the necromantic energies.

Redking Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm doing mine with Agrellan Erath. Paint the base black, then add the Agrellan. When it dries, I drybrush it Mechanicus Standard Greey. Wash with 1:1 Nuln Oil and Lahmian Medium. The light drybrushes of Dawnstone, Administratum Grey, and Praxati White (super light). It has a very graveyard/necropolis look. I wanted to make it look like the Necropolis Mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking doing something like Astrogranite Debris + Drakenhof Nightshade or Nuln Oil as wash + some kind of grey for dry brush for mine.

Redking Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Unfortunately, I was in such a rush to start painting Nagash that I left off some basing materials. I wanted to add some skeleton bodies and make it feel like more of a necropolis. Astrogranite Debris is nice. I used it on my Tzeentch with Drakenhoff, then drybrushed with Longbeard Grey. It looks more mystical. On my Primaris urban rubble bases, I wash with with Agrax and drybrush it with Dawnstone and Administratum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, your Nagash looks really good at least! haha I was going for that mystical feel, like it's a land blighted by the dark magic that binds the skeletons together haha so I'll probably stick with that. I don't have longbeard grey though, does administratum grey, dawnstone or any other kind of grey work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redking Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Longbeard is more of a blue-grey, which blends nicely with the Drakenhoff. Just grab an old base and run a test. This is what I use all of my old square bases for. Here's a guide from GW. The paint app has more. https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Paint//Textured_Paints.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
