Riftforged Orcs (KoW) Part 2
I got through another twenty Riftforged Legionaries this week so I should now have enough for my three starting regiments. This post is about how I have based them but mistakes were made so this is a cautionary tale; don’t be like me.
As usual, I started with an MDF base from Warbases. The orcs are heavy infantry so based on 25mm so the regiment is 125mmx100mm. I forgot to drill bases and putting magnets in them so we were already teetering on making life harder than necessary.
- Some torn up 2mm cork sheeting to give a bit of height.
- Then a layer of AK Terrain Desert Sand
- Primed with dark brown
- Black used to edge the rock layers to give an extra level of depth
- Stippled Vallejo London Grey and then GW Administratum Grey
- This is when I should have glued down the models… I was too busy “doing” to be “thinking” and instead put down a layer of Geek Gaming Scrublands Base Ready mix
- Some random wee patches of washes to add more interest to the rocks
- Glued down the models, or tried to at least ? Some of them are definitely going to come off on their first trip to the table. The mix of particulates is too big to get a good foothold once the glue is dry.
These three bases will be the main part of my first 750 points which are meant to be playable for February. I need to paint up two other solo minis and then hopefully they can get to the table.
Beautiful work!
Thank you
Love these bases, I might have to purloin this idea. I feel like I want to do a bit more than flat dirty snow on every base.
Thank you. It’s pretty quick to put together, and the end result is good. I used to keep a whole load of different flocks/ballasts etc for doing mixers but honestly the ease of the premade ones these days is just too tempting. There’s another range I want to try but I had this one in the flat already.
So much plastic crack for the eyes to oggle. Keep up the good work.
