Tile grout is by far the best thing I've found for sand. It scales better than ground up dirt and the colours are already a good match. It can be further enhanced by mixing in a little pigment powder or ground up chalk pastel.

@meepmop6 4 жыл бұрын

I really like the marble base, that's a really cool way to get the colour right. That pipe is just asking for a skaven mini. It would also make for a cool tiny diorama, the skaven hiding from something standing on the pipe looking for it. My fave basing technique is just mixing all the absolute basics. Texture paint, basing gravel, cork sheets. I hate using greenstuff and I've found that bluetack and super glue works pretty well for most situations. I find that using cork sheet alone is too obvious, so its easy enough to slap some texture paint onto it to obscure it. Bonus is that it's still pretty flat so you can easily put your miniatures onto it.

Any good tips to attach a mini where you might have forgetting to leave a good flat point in the build? For example I can foresee that beach one or something with too much sand or gravel can accidentally leave feet to look like that’s a floating in a way.
