If you want a very easy option for Imperial bases, sand the base to smooth it out, then either just use a high gloss black spray or prime it and paint it a high gloss black, then a layer of gloss varnish (I use Americana High Gloss Polyeurethane) over it in a smooth layer. For vehicles, you want to clear the sight lines with each step to make sure they're visible. The end result works well for a Death Star deck plating that has that near mirror finish. Also, another way to do flock that's a bit easier to do is to put a thick layer of polyeurethane gloss over the area you want, then cover it in snow flock while still wet. When it dries, apply another layer of polyeurethane overtop of it.

I'd never considered the Imperial bases, sounds like a great idea, if you do it, do post pics. I should have said about firing arcs :)

@drunkenirishmstr 5 жыл бұрын

I am trying to figure out a way to make my bases interchangeable. Especially for the ATST and some heroes i want to do clear but I like the realism. Maybe using magnets in that bases and a small piece of metal on the feet

@TabletopOddity 5 жыл бұрын

Hmm I don't think it is worth the effort, maybe commit to a light brown so it looks okay on desert and mud?

@kkelus 6 жыл бұрын

Awesome video! :) Any ideas how to make Scarif bases?

@TabletopOddity 6 жыл бұрын

Probably use a GW texture paint, for dunes, and make the sand brighter. And maybe tropical plants. For water, resin would be your best bet. Not an easy thing to do really.

@sportsbanter3885 6 жыл бұрын

Great job no doubt, I personally prefer clear bases just so they blend with every battlefield, may seem lazy but I more so enjoy building terrain for different battlefield environments......

@TabletopOddity 6 жыл бұрын

I understand people liking clear bases for that reason but I just like the way normal basing looks. Each to their own though!

Indeed, I should have said, I would simply use PVA for the sand, and then scrape the lines clean :)

Do you have to use the bases that come with the starwars legion kit, or can you use other circular bases

@TabletopOddity 4 жыл бұрын

You need ot use bases that are the same size really, for events anyway.

@SSJGumbercules 6 жыл бұрын

do you glue your minis to the base before you base the base?

@TabletopOddity 6 жыл бұрын

No I don't. I do my bases and then glue them normally. You can do that if you want the mini to look in the mud or whatever. That's technically a lie, I mildly super glue them to the base, paint them, then remove them from base and do the bases!

Tabletop Oddity ok. I've seen people do it both ways. I got 2 core sets...& all the expansions now lol. So I can do it both ways

Aye, you can do either really :)
