My return to GW games.

Im not entirely sure if this was the thought in my head when I started doing the basing but looking back the fact I started doing the basing around the time I made the previous mentioned error doesnt feel like it was an accident. It feels like this was my time to refresh.

As I was looking at endless videos the question of what I wanted to do with basing came to mind as well, I have a habit of leaving basing decisions until last and as a result either rushing them or putting it off for eternity and given the limit of this project was smaller I wanted to plan ahead. I’d given thought to going for something in Lava, its a common choice for obvious reasons and would have been something to test myself as well but I just had this feeling if I went in that direction Id put it off instead. And so the idea was, theyre standing over terrain theyve ruined and decimated but how?

I decided to follow the rule of KISS, Keep it simple stupid, socks, cork and some slate.

Its worth noting that not all of these were done at the same time, infact the first base (that I already teased in the previous entry) was done a good day or so before any more and the rest were all done whilst waiting for things to dry in the last stages.

I cannot possibly tell you how simply my basing paints were though, seriously you really dont need to over think your basing, in some cases you will want to do more than I did, mine was simple to the point of stupidity but I wanted it to look like a fire hadnt long came through. Its a matte black spray, dry brushed first with Monster brown from the Army Painter (the air range.) and then followed up with uniform grey from the same range. I took my time and added the colours slowly  but given I was working from black all I needed to do was trace back over it if I ever pushed the dry brushing too far.
