Forest Base Tutorial

Hi everyone !

Welcome for a new step-by-step tutorial! This time I'll describe my technique to make realistic forest bases using only washes.

 1. Ok for the first step I glued pieces of cork and pine bark directly on the base to make the rocks. I then covered the rest of the base with PVA and applied smaller rocks, gravel and sand to form the forest soil. I sealed everything with isopropanol (to wet the base) and diluted PVA. When the glue was fully dry I finally applied a basecoat of grey Surface Primer (Vallejo).

Desert Base Tutorial

Hi everyone !

welcome back for another step-by-step tutorial on desert bases. I ended up using this scheme for all my Death Guard and Nurgle minis, it is rather quick to do and it gives a very good color contrast.

 1. I started by placing the main rocks. Pine bark is probably the best option for that, the shape and the texture matches perfectly the 32mm scale and it costs literally nothing. Just make sure to clean up the pieces with a hard brush in order to remove the dust/dirt and to eliminate weak spots. I also added plastic putty here and there to give more variations to the ground making sort of footsteps or animal tracks.
