So I did the sand to where I wanted the water, then I put some pva blue were the water would be, I then used a spong and sponges on Kantor, blue, thousand sun blue, and sotek green getting lighter on my way in, then I put some woodland scenic still water on, spreading it out to the edge, afterwards I used water effect and an old brush to do the white breaks by the shore, when that was dry. I dry brushed scar white, and cerimite which in the raised ridges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I think a more spooky foggy water be would be better. If I could make fog for my bases I would lol. I would paint the water with a bit of a green tinge if I were to do this and the logs would be more pale and sickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syph0n Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Those bases do look lovely. If I end up with an ID force, I think I'll get some Elven ruin style bases, then use lichen to look a bit like sea coral or plant life. I think the colour can make the biggest difference and I'm thinking of adding water effects or at least make things look glossy in some way.

Connelj2 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 This as a test, I was planning on getting am extra wrecked ship when they release to use as debre, and buy from free death for some dead bodies, like the ID just fought and took their souls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhsellwood Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I am thinking swampy base - like the below (note this is not mine just pulled the image from Google Images and the image is from a site named Zatcaskagoon Miniatures) Really play up the cloying damp swampy feel, desaturated colours, concealing mists and muffled sounds.

Dark base colour, bits of ruin, then bright orange and green lichen flakes for corals would work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbelly Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I think I'll stick to a sandy sceme for my bases. But do I redo the bases for my Corsairs so they match as allies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may very well end up becoming high elf allies rather than dark. we don't know that yet. I know they ally with daughters but not ally allies are reciprocated, e.g. phoenix temple can take sylvaneth allies, sylvaneth can't take phoenix temple buddies.

Chikout Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Those are some really good basing ideas. I wonder how many Deepkin players will be raiding pet shops for fish tank decorations. This weekend the new white dwarf will go up for preorder and we should start seeing pics early next week. What do you think our chances of seeing some Deepkin info are? The rumours have said 14th for preorder which will probably mean a week of bloodbowl after the Dark Eldar. White dwarf usually covers preorders up to the week after release which would include week one of Deepkin, but with Forgebane, Necrons, Dark Eldar and maybe bloodbowl to cover, they may delay it and do a whole Deepkin focused issue in May. In any case if the preorder dates true we should start seeing Warhammer community articles from April 10th. I am very curious what some of the alternative builds and unrevealed minis look like. Exciting times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DantePQ Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 We will see official GW announcement of pre-orders with a lot of pics on 8th of April then previews 9-13th of April and pre-orders on 14th. Usually big leaks happen when someone gets the Battletome earlier - about Monday after pre-orders (maybe few days earlier in some cases). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I should speculate on here more often. White dwarf pics just leaked on the French warhammer forum. There is some info. Preorder for the book is confirmed as the 14th of April. Even more exciting times!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaelART Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Just thinking about these aelves and their relationship with the other aelven factions. It is said that this faction turned against Teclis, so is it safe to assume they will have a poor relationship with the "lightkin"? Could it be that the "deepkin" were manipulated by shadowy forces (Morathi and Malerion)? It would be cool if these were part of a Dark Elf resurgence with DoK, Shadowkin and the other DE legacy factions. They really have a "darker" feel. So I am interested in their alliance chart. I wonder if when Slaanesh returns we will see Morath and Malerion vs Teclis and Tyrion - each side vying to bring all of aelven-kind into their fold to battle against Slaanesh. So a three way battle royale between the light, the dark and chaos. With some nice super-battalions combining lots of factions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 More like Malthaan found them or they found him (vid mentions they found hope) and he is rumoured to be quite the angry fella if the new we leaks are to be true, I doubt they were manipulated more like angry for being rejected no doubt. Malereon is working on his shadowkin. Despite the Deepkin looking very de their lore seems quite different (other than the eating souls thing). I’m going to assume shadowkin won’t be reject sky, eaters so even the "dark" elves are now outdone in terms of a more evil faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Looks like Mathlann is dead or gone, much like Khaine. The avatar's warscroll text says some stuff about 'the spirits of the ancestors of the Idoneth being invoked' and about the Avatar being an 'idealised incarnation of that lost god'. Enough is left for the Idoneth to, well, make an avatar of him but I'd be interested in seeing how they went from Teclis's creation to fleeing and embracing a god of the world-that-was.

Overread Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 3 Picture leaks from the new WD from France (found on Dakka) including another new model - RAPTOR SEA-HORSE edit - somehow I didn't spot that beast in the video - not sure how *blames it on the 2am viewing of the preview video* but still new pictures!

DantePQ Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Avatar in current meta unless there is some kind of mortal wound defence (and I doubt it) is quite bad, he is less tanky then TLA (considering standard TLA loadout) and we know that TLA are just dying like flies to so many things. Of course it's first impression a lot can change with Allegiance Ability, Syngergies, Spells etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planar Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I like the subtle reference to Greek lore in the name "EIDOLON OF MATHLANN" Eidolon (Ειδωλον) is ancient Greek for Idol i.e. Avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
