I started approaching basing like miniature dioramas that would tell a story when the army is put together. That mindset really helped elevate my base game.
Another factor that doesn't get discussed too much, but is really easy to visualize is "framing" your mini with complementary angles on your basing elements. In this example the log branch, even more so after the little lichen added at the end, create a sort of triangle that guides the eye from the front of the base to the model like a V formation. The backwards sweep of the branches also makes the mini's dynamic, lunging pose feel more forward leaning and fast and both branches match the shape of her hair and knives curving backwards
i recently started some classic catachans, and really wanted the bases to stand out since the older models were a bit lacking, and i found that having a good amount of variation in vegetation, mud and dirt and hardscape really made them sell that look better than ive ever got before.
Catachan is amazing because you have no limit in variety! Maybe you could try aquarium plants for more cheap variety in vegetation. Also, even if the model is the centerpiece, I think some overloaded bases with vegetation it's actually fitting considering the crazy jungle death world. As another point remember to use references when you want to paint some crazy foliage. Cool plants for this are the hypoestes, crocus, ficus prince of orange, variegated ivys, snake plants, and so much more. If you are looking for flowers moth orchids and tiger lilies are a great sources of inspiration, and also flowers are a great way to ad a pop of color into bases. Other cool reference could be the plants of James Cameron's avatar. Also, some of the deadliest plants in catachan are said to have Tyranid DNA according to lore, so you could integrate Tyranid bits also in your bases. Just some ideas that popped in my head, much love and have fun painting your army!
Personally I think that one of the most important parts to sell a base is to bring the base up to the model. Like if your model is running in a swampy forest why are her boots so clean?
I've watched quite a few of your early vehicle and monster videos but never realised how good a figure painter you are! In terms of your basing, apart from the Krieg base being oversized (I called this out before you confessed!), I think it looks great....
Looking forward to the water bases. I've currently got my carcharodons primed and ready to paint with the aim of giving them beach bases with sea and sand!
A little bit late but... You can just mask your mini with masking fluid :) Vallejo has a great one. It is fluid latex - you can precisly mask bottom part of the minis and wrap upper part fith a foil. I do recommend using toothpick and give 2 layers (second when first is fully dried). At the end you just simply roll it off
Awesome video, great tips for me going furt6with my bases, never thought of painting over my terrain I just go with the natural look thanks for some ideas .
As a dnd player that always looks for cheap alternatives for vegetation, aquarium plants work great. Also, I don't see a problem with using a larger base like you did at first but I would suggest a more diorama like approach, elevating the base to the model with some dry bushes or taller rock formations so the mini looks like it's living in a place.
Awesome work! Really nice the color scheme for the base. Gonna "borrow it" for some woodland bases. For small bases (25-32 mm) I do tend to assemble the base and the model together, prime the whole piece and work with it, but that's just personal preference.
This really feels like what Nightshift does on his dioramas when painting the ground and foilage, but here it is more wargaming so more contrast then what he does.
I still say that the base from the Krieger is really good, just a little plain. And did you know that gw now has a 28.5 mm base? I think it would look better then that 32mm
This base is awesome...but definitely too much work to use on an entire army. Btw, will you make a video about painting that lovely murder bloody elf girl? The black-lining looks supercool.
Great vid! I recently started building my bases fully before priming the whole thing and it makes all the elements gel together so much better. Nightshift is an incredible scale modeller who does this, bigger scale but the concepts are the same.
Thats where I picked up the prime & paint the base concept from as well - its much easier to find basing materials now because I don't have to care what color it is, it can just be painted to whatever I'm looking for
This is something I agree with Luke from Geek Gaming: it seems like a redundant waste to paint over flock and grass and other natural materials when they already look natural. Sure, paint the texture paste, but the stick already looks like a stick, the grass already looked like grass, and the rocks already looked like rocks. Sure if you want to highlight some areas, or make it look mossy, go for it. It might have saved some time to keep most of the natural color as well.
I'd disagree. You may have a perfectly shaped rock, but its colouring doesnt fit with your model or the scene your creating. Same wil grasses. Sure if the natural material automatically fits, but in my experience that is a rare occurrence. Large scale flocking and mixing the flock as he does is a different case as you are kind of painting with the material.
@ceefaxer you are entitled to your opinion, even if that opinion is wrong. :) I do understand where you are coming from if you are making a higher caliber display piece. However, if you are building an army, it's probably better/easier to keep it simple by not painting the materials used for the base. I do think that your army bases should look good, but in that case, it might be better to keep everything as natural as possible. The natural variation will help to keep things cohesive if you happen to add models to the army since you wouldn't have to try to color match what you did previously.
#1 - I can't deal with square bases anymore. I picked up one of the late 90s Goldfag's Ogres and the poor guy is SWIMMING on a 40mm square base. 40mm is square is yuge compared to 40mm round. It just emphasizes that old-school ogres are a bit smaller than what most ppl call ogres these days.
Agreed.. but for balance it does have its place. Square is v. useful for Bloodbowl. You could be placing upto 11 player prone or face up per turn, of which there are 32 turns per game. The players need to be clearly up or downward facing and a square base is perfect for it. Also they won't 'roll' off their square space on the playing board either.. you'd think it was so perfect that GW would supply the models with square bases, but alas they don't 🤦♂️ x I see your point about sizing still.. it would look silly on a small team of players eg. dwarfs (unless you downsize keeping it square)
Is the guide for painting the witch elf model you are using in the video available somewhere? I will be getting my daughters of Khaine soon, and I love how this one turned out
"Think again" God... The contempt was so hard on this one, a new kink is born in me... More seriously, great video again ! Still improving painting quality AND video quality, a pleasure to behold.
good video, but the main issue with using bigger bases wont work if you wish to play them table top right ? because you need to have the appropriate sized base provided.
I see your "grey" miliput is also more of a weird brown colour. I wonder why that happens. Figured it might be out of date but it still works as intended with enough kneading.
So what is the complementary color for say wood elves in the green forest, whose primary color is green as well because they try to camouflage somehow kind of? I guess it can be done with browns, fallen leaves, or water... Any ideas?
Might be worth considering an autumnal base scheme. It would give you a fairly muted red/orange/brown palette to choose from, which should compliment the figure while not attrcating focus away.
The complementary to green it purple or magenta, maybe you could add it by using flowers as pops of colour in the base. Also many trees produce beautiful flowers you could reference, maybe the character it walking in a path of fallen petals like what happens with cherry blossom trees. As other flowering trees you can look for the magnolia tree, (the nexts names will be in Spanish since I don't know the names in English) aromo, manzano en flor, laurel en flor, durazno en flor. Another way could be changind the color or the trees or folliage, remember that some plants rather than green they have yellow or red clorophil. Examples of this are the variegated plants or trees like the ciruelo that have burgundy leaves. Also some plant hava crazy folliage that you can use as reference, the hypoestes, crocus, ficus prince of orange, calatheas and so much more! Besides, you are painting elves, who can question fantasy plants with crazy colors? Also some references for color is looking at artwork, Magit the gathering has a lot of elves you can reference for clothing and background. Hope this helps!
These bases are cool and all bit when you have 100 in an army it will take forever. Any tips on doing fast bases for an army that's not just astrogranite and snow? (My current scheme hehe)
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS: I love your painting tutorials, and I have a favor to ask / video Idea. I watch a lot of painting tutorials, and there are A LOT of techniques and advices painters give about painting Crevices and how there should be wash/shader there to get them dark, and there is a lot of show&tell about painting highlights. But I feel that I struggle the most NOT with dark crevices or pointy hightlights but with cylindrical shapes where an area is flat like Thighs, Forearms, Knees, bulky-shoulders etc. Just big sausage-like surfaces where usuly coffe-like stains appear from washes. The areas where it is too big to highlight it all, but where there are no crevices to put shadows in. COuld you please help me and show us how you approach it? It may be easy for you but areas like that are the worst part of any of my models.
Refer to my video "This will change your miniature painting" with the red sister of battle in the thumbnail. You don't have to use any washes at all, jump layer up everything
@@Zumikito I hear you. I'm just, i dunno. Bright red is hard to push gradient lightning, red is so transparent that any black needs white to then paint over with red.
Water effects? There's a ton of tutorials on that already. Now, if you find a good way to make a burning base (not lava flow, not ashes, burning - model walking through fire) - that would be something new. Awesome work on the forest floor though.
lol you think it sucks ? Its great man. Ok mybie the base is to big. I know it would be for the game but the paint job and the base I think look awsome.
Swear you know what I'm thinking, whenever I'm having an issue you seem to immediately put a video out about said issue, Zumikito if you are going to stalk me at least say hello 😂
If I may, I would add "Rule 5: Centre the model visually on the base". Ideally the head of the model should be as close to the centre of the base as possible. I'm always saddened to see a great paintjob and evocative base with the model barely off to the side as if they weren't the protagonist of their own story. Bases are to miniatures as frames are to paintings.
I agree, but to me it seemed too obvious, though I have definitely seen some cases where it's not the case. Personally I like to center waist, because some minis have quite dynamic poses.
@@Zumikito I would have also thought it's obvious... but have seen some very high level mini painter/youtubers making the mistake. Centre waist. I like that. Makes good sense. Thanks for the reply!
I agree. Granted, it's too big for a playable model, but as a centrepiece I think it looks great. The base in this video is just too messy for my taste.
I gotta ask, why not just make the base, prime it, paint it and THEN stick on the actual mini? I feel like that would be a lot easier than priming around a fully painted mini... I know it'd significantly reduce my chance of smearing green all over my mini's crotch or something.
Base must be subtle. This, so much this, I have what appears to be an unpopular opnion this days but lately bases for gw products are so over the top that they distract from the miniature, even worst sometimes they ocupie almos the same volume as the miniature itself.
very difficult, would search online for some you really like. Ideally, it would include larger rock, some smaller rocks/sones, some grass tufts, maybe bones? To be honest, desert bases seem to be very hard to pull off
1. Use a finer "sand" to represent sand instead of actual sand - think baking soda or baking powder fine. 2. Study pictures of sand dunes, sand drifts, footprints, etc. to get ideas for how it behaves when it is moved or interacts with something else. Sand is never flat. 3. Add Variety - cracked earth, desert grass/brush, skulls, flat/eroded rocks, scorpions, beetles, snakes, spiders, and other creepy crawlies, cacti and other succulents are all reasonable for the environment. Water and snow, too, depending on the time of year. 4. Use a warm palette. Yellows, oranges, reds, tans, and browns can offer a lot of variety.

As usual, a great video. The humor makes your videos some of my favorites to watch.

Zumikito calling us out for staring at the buns, BUT who painted those great buns to begin with 🤔
Personally I think that one of the most important parts to sell a base is to bring the base up to the model.
Like if your model is running in a swampy forest why are her boots so clean?
^ THIS ^
Too many models are painted look like Toys (100% clean clothes etc) and not like miniature people in a dirty warzone. Hate it.
I think it kinda works with elves like this model, but absolutely should be done with the majority of models
nice base! i've always superglued tufts without any problems
Based in your Knowledge I’ll have to try This

I build the base seperately from the mini and mark the spots, where the mini will be placed, then prime both. This way I avoid priming over.
This really feels like what Nightshift does on his dioramas when painting the ground and foilage, but here it is more wargaming so more contrast then what he does.

I think it's a mixture chart from Redgrass Games
I see your "grey" miliput is also more of a weird brown colour. I wonder why that happens. Figured it might be out of date but it still works as intended with enough kneading.
It's good idea to let liliput dry for like 15-20 minutes before work, it's less sticky and easier to shape ;)

Both are valid options - it depends on how is the mini constructed. I wanted this one to stand on a rock so I used the pillar that was there

4. Use a warm palette. Yellows, oranges, reds, tans, and browns can offer a lot of variety.
