J.Z. Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hello guys. I saw some awesome painted miniatures in this forum section. I just started the hobby and i want to go all the way baby! Painting, scenery, battles, skull for a skull throne and stuff. So i got few questions about finishing bases and/or scenery. Sand and rocks! Yeah- where are you getting them. I mean do you buy things like: https://www.darksphere.co.uk/p.php?p=30443 or https://www.darksphere.co.uk/p.php?p=72812 or you are basically using a Citadel texture paints... Or I don't know maybe DIY stores??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisufisu Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Guess that depends, the smaller rocks/sand mix is sold by citadel, the now pretty common huge rocks on bases are made from cork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swooper Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I just go to the sandbox outside my apartment building... For bigger rocks, bark chips work great. I bought some from Serious Play Scenics, but lots of stores sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwface Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I chop up the corks from wine bottles when I finish with them. I cut them up in various sizes for a nice range of rock shapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I keep all my sprues, resin and plastic, and also any bits of plastic left over from old conversions, anything pretty much, super glue the life out of it and then spread some stirland battlemire.

Yeah it's amazing how pretty much anything looks like a rock when it's painted grey and drybrushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucio Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I use a mix of sculpted bases (lately the Shattered Dominions ones because they're keenly priced), texture paint and old school basing sand / gravel. Picture below shows the result when combined with gloss effects for the wet areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Routasydän Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Where do you buy your minis? Online or a local store? Usually they have a load of basing stuff unless your shop is just a GW shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
