Hey Scott I was trying to follow your paint guide for the 'eavy Metal series for my Dark Angels. But I have the old Space Marines (not Primaris). Is it just me, or is recess shading with black paint a bad idea to try with the older Space Marines? Seems the proportions are kinda off and its a lot harder to recess shade them, as opposed to the new Primaris Marines. I feel like ink would be a better call for them. Thanks!
@@xMorentz I got the idea to use a paint from an old GW book. Anything is possible if you have the ability to pull it off. That being said, mixing some black ink and black paint would probably be better for old marines and primaris alike.
Mate, your previous pronunciation of UHU-glue was spot on. It's a German company and the German language does not add that "y"-sound to the beginning of the "U" (Admittedly, I was kind of surprised that you pronounced it correctly in the other video). Fun fact, an Uhu is actually a kind of owl that lives all over Europe and Asia, including here in Germany. Also: Great base ideas!
I know this is an old video, but on the off chance you see this... next time you tackle any kind of frozen base, try out the GS world liquid pigments. Particularly the pale blue and white ones. with Just some basing sand (prime black) you can add the blue with smaller amount of white. This works as a great base for snow, which you can then add some GS world snow FX to (very different to your regular snow FC, as it looks more icy, as oppose to fresh powder) it's very simple, yet extremely effective way to do a an ice planet base.
Much love for you and your family. I understand your loss. In the process of losing my mother at the moment. Keep your head up and keep being an absolute legend
cannot describe how much I love these videos, I started a 40k army thinking I wanted to play the game, but totally love hobbying waaayyyyyyy more than playing, don't get me wrong, love playing too, but making my models look dope is the best. These base videos are the shit. Thanks homie.
I really love the idea of the tentacle coming through the base boards, this is perfect for a fantasy pirate theme or even a more sinister Cthulhu type setting. I'd be really interested to see how you would do a batch of bases, perhaps as many as a dozen, to stick to the theme but make them all unique. Another great video man.
Hey Scott, love the video. I have a small tip with regards to the slime you made with UHU and paint. I find adding a couple of pinches of baking soda to the mix of paint and glue causes a reaction that makes the mixture thicker and stringier (like thick snot) and thus it is easier to work with. It also makes it harden better when dry.
Great video, love the handy tips on using chipping and the grime, I have both but cant seem to get the chipping to work, your advice is handy now for my next go.
Don't worry too much about people complaining the project is not "too easy". One can never get better without trying things outside your comfort zone. Keep it up my man.
Dig the process especially the graveyard side note congrats on the sponsor really liked the way you included it. able to satisfy the sponsor need but not dump us out of the video entirely for the segment.
What is with all mayor mini painting channels uploading how to make bases in the same day? Do you have an agreement or what? hahahaha Love the bases though!
You can rough up the balsa with a wire brush prior to hardening it with CA. I like that rock texture mold idea. And.... the outpost base is pretty cool. You always help me come up with ideas for bases, vignettes and dioramas. As always.... thanks for sharing your knowledge. 👍👍
16:00 I also use this technique when I create cables and antennae for tanks/vehicles. So good to see another application for this, never have I thought of creating icicles like this! Love your content
I didn't realise it was a German company, so shall have to decide how I pronounce it next time I need to say the word (I live in the UK). Though I'm wondering how 'sepia' is usually pronounced in the USA now - it's see-pee-a here.
I love that your uncle participated in this. I had a nice chuckle, thank you, Bob! Btw: The "Oohoo" pronounciation is the correct one. It's the German word for eagle owl and the company is German. And in Germany they even sometimes use an eagle owl as a mascot.
This and your previous video on basing has inspired me to go beyond standard bases. My wife even wants to try some out. I'd like to see more, so I can learn more about materials and techniques!
Quick tip for skulls on bases if you have streaking grime at your disposal... paint them bright white.. hit them with streaking grime, and then a dab on the highest point with a q-tip soaked in mineral spirits.. once its dry hit it with some seraphim sepia ( watered down if you dont want the skull to be too grimey ) .. and you'll have a super nice looking, dirty, scenery skull.
For that roll board you got there, watch a few videos how to use a Cavarola 'yes that's a pasta board...' it might teaches you how to create a few weird pasta looking objects. might allows you to make cool shoulder pads or armor plate scales as an addition to rat tails and tentacles.
You don't need alot of terrain starting out. A couple of trees, a signpost, a couple of rocks, a doorway, and a couple of columns will get you through D&D.
My favorite part was the idea of combining the Dimensional Magic with Plaguebearer Flesh to create rain puddles. That was genius to me and I used it on my Harlequin bases. Have you tested how well that combination works compared to Nurgle's Rot? I wonder if they'd be interchangeable or if each has their use.
When doint bases I always find myself lacking not ideas, but instead the materials to accomplish them. Especially more complex bases need more and more additional stuff as I always go for a theme in bases and try to be elaborate about it. My struggle is focussed around finding the right supplies for the job and more often than not it discourages me, leaving my bases less interresting than they could be.

@@Miniac Thanks dude, appreciate the quick reply.
Hey Scott. Love these vids. Any chance of a detailed series on the types of texture mediums and where to use them?
Shoutout to the Uncle Bob Club.
Only reason i upvoted

I paint all my bases fluorescent pink. My models too. Also my hands.
I read this in bubblebath's voice from spongebob
do you eat flourescent paint? i do tastes like butterscotch
Not pink enough. Is your entire body fluorescent pink? And your clothing? And your eyesight?
Gotta love our hobby, not many other places you say “I’m fresh out of gravestones”
I do but i bury dead ppl for a living so ya ...

Great to have Uncle Bob as guest spot - made me laugh 😆. As always, a great vid with ideas I can use right away. Thank you 🙏🏻

Didn’t think about using a boulder to help make rock moulds for normal bases. Thanks for the inspiration and stay awesome!!

Another great video man.
definitely gonna try it for the Malifaux Nightmare pirate crew.
I love the outro, I swear it gives me motivation.
The layering on the last base is absolutely insane
That's it. He made it. Skillshare sponsored his video....Well done Scott. Well done.

You've given me quite a bit of inspiration for other basing ideas

Kudos to your uncle Bob for playing along!
for icicles, you can just makes streaks of hot glue and cut them up.
What is with all mayor mini painting channels uploading how to make bases in the same day? Do you have an agreement or what? hahahaha Love the bases though!
Bob seems like a cool uncle. well played Scott, well played.

that first base is how I paint my minis!
I really love the beats
You can also use coconut fiber instead of using dirt from outside. To save time.
Haha Bobs your uncle. Legitness that's just comical
16:00 I also use this technique when I create cables and antennae for tanks/vehicles. So good to see another application for this, never have I thought of creating icicles like this! Love your content
Please make more of these these are my favourite videos you make
Considering UHU is a german brand, you pronounced it right last time! Although you guys might call it you-hoo in the US...
can't please 'em all
I said "you-hoo" all my life, but you are quite right. After checking the proper pronunciation is "ooo-hoo" !
I didn't realise it was a German company, so shall have to decide how I pronounce it next time I need to say the word (I live in the UK). Though I'm wondering how 'sepia' is usually pronounced in the USA now - it's see-pee-a here.

Dude, I love this. Bases are super fun.
All these bases make me want to find some zombie pirates to paint
Love the Corridor shirt!
Love the video! Doesnt everyone have an uncle bob?
I have an Uncle Joe who really wants me to go in the basement.
@@king_aeron 😄
I have a father Bob.
@@SnoddiesHobbies we have a winner!
I've never even met a person called Bob.
This and your previous video on basing has inspired me to go beyond standard bases. My wife even wants to try some out. I'd like to see more, so I can learn more about materials and techniques!
Love these, strait forward and easy to follow. Looks like I’ll be working on bases all week 👍🏽

That last base gave me some great ideas. Thanks for the video!
the blood isles looks so sweet
Big props for the Bob cameo
The last one is epic I will definitely be having a crack at that. I love basing so much fun.
Looks awesome.
this one was super helpful. thank you!
The Bob's your uncle gag killed me!!🤘
At this point in my life i'd say "knowing when to pull on the rod, and when not to" is my primary marketable skill.
Keep the base videos comin
If you don't have any tombstones or styrene to make them you could use the top of a tongue depressor or matchsticks to make grave markers.
Awesome video!! I loved your last basing video and was so pumped to see another one. Lots of inspiration here for my new 40k army!
Magnificent video as usual Scott! Thankyou, I look forward to listening to you guys talk on the new podcast 👍
I see you like corridor, good choice
For that roll board you got there, watch a few videos how to use a Cavarola 'yes that's a pasta board...' it might teaches you how to create a few weird pasta looking objects. might allows you to make cool shoulder pads or armor plate scales as an addition to rat tails and tentacles.
Great video, Uncle Bob was by far the best part though
Have you tried using Coffee filters to remove excess paint? they soak well and dont leave the fibres as easily :)
that outro still gives me chills love it !
I made gravestones out of popsicle sticks. Love these bases dude. Thanks for the tips.
This dude is incredible
Great job slim

Your paint scheme and final job is amazing. Wish I had your skills man.
Fantastic ideas. I always learn something new from your videos.
Great video! It's encouraging me to get do more elaborate basing. Any chance you could do a video on some good 'starter basing supplies' ?
No one:
Me: Bases for the base god
That can't be a warhammer reference! 😂
@@joshuasimpson6374 no, it's a music reference. You ever heard of music? Pretty obscure tbh
Based
Nice! My only criticism is that the tentacle is shaped like a segmented worm. Octopus tentacles are flattened tapered cylinders.
Maybe it's a tentacle from some fantasy creature that doesn't exist in our world!
Keep them coming pls I'm in love with this channel and you rock !!! Keep it up xx
I can’t stress enough how great your impression of your viewers is hahaha Another great video Scott!
"Paint that base rim black, OR SO HELP ME GOD!"
Love Em! Great ideas.
Breakfast in England with the Miniac. Great Ideas and we luv you BoB !!
Love this thanks for the final base in particular as I'm upping my basing game and looking to to go from step 3 to step 4 bases thanks for the ideas
Can you provide more details on how you make your dirt please?
Its cool your uncle stopped by to help you out.
2:41 Pretzel Quest... Guess Everyone Has Their Things.
These are so cool!
theyre all sweet, but the blood isles one was epic. so many variants could come from that one form. loved the video man.
Great vid.. thanks for the ideas
Great video, the Gomer Pyle voice always cracks me up!
Do these look easy? No
Are they inspiring? Yes!
really nice ideas
tecchnically for the blood isles one u could use some texture paint
So.... how much time did you have to spend getting good ol' Bob to pop by to make that 3 second joke? It was SUPER appreciated.
As a starting mini painter ive been using apple barrel paints with a brush, thoughts on that brand?

I would like to see more from Uncle Bob, please. He is very cool.
The bases look awesome Scott just like you @nohomo
Really nice bases there. This is certainly an area of the hobby I need to put more effort into so always appreciate this videos
Absolutely love the vids! Thanks for the tips and such!
Where do you get the metal mesh for your bases? I liked the base with broken fence and the platform in this video is awesome.
Love you bob
Woohoo! Bases again! I love basing :)
All your base are belong to scott
Whoah! Bob!
Oh my god! I literally just posted that 2019 needs base videos on that other one! I asked, I have received and I now believe in the miniac messiah!
You should do expert level bases for the people looking for inspiration to take their character minis to the Next level.
For a moment there I thought that you would be growing mold in that rock
