      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.

  • @larrymanns364
    @larrymanns364 5 років тому +35

    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.

    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.

    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.
