BLACK FRIDAY! WOO! Lots of things are happening at Miniac HQ so here's the big Black Friday post explaining it all: 1. Everything on my webstore is 20% off (even the new stuff). This will be the first time items like The Duchess and the digital course for The Duchess will be on sale since they came out. The same is true for the podcast merch! To get 20% off on teespring, you need to type the coupon code "TUP2020" in at checkout. 2. I have a new shirt and it's not black (for all 3 people that have asked for a nonblack shirt). It represents how your backlog is always trying to literally murder you. 3. The podcast has a new shirt and it's a glorious homage to tendies! 4. I have a PDF guide on how to paint The Duchess! This is great if you aren't sure if the digital course is for you, and you want a smaller investment. 5. International Shipping is cheaper on orders under 1lb!

I love the miniature painter mentality - "I shall gather mud, paint it black, and repaint it like mud... genius!" :D

Hey Scott! I’m not the best painter, nor am I really a comment type of guy. I’m sure you won’t ever see this but I just wanted to say thank you! You’ve really taught me how to paint and you probably had no idea but I’m a huge fan! Keep it moist lol

Love this series broski. These are some most worthy bases!

"Winging it just like you might be." More true than you know, lol. These are phenomenal, thanks for yet another incredible vid!

Miniac: the tale of the moist black rim.

People who don't paint the rims of their bases a solid colour emit some real chaotic energy.

Miniac: "I'm not going to use the airbrush" *Uses airbrush in the first shot of painting* (I know it's just priming, just thought it was funny)

That blood bowl theme base couldn't have come at a better time. Just ordered my first team

You might need a PSA about using paper towels on super glue, at 11:24 or so your paper towel starts to smoke (wisps are at the bottom of the screen), it can potentially burn people/set on fire

I've been doing this a lot thanks to your videos. I ignore them entirely lol. But I have been trying to practice basing more and more. Throwing stuff together and using more and more tools and materials I wouldnt normally dare touch. Thanks for the inspiration Scott!

Scott, I just noticed that you weren't naming the paints you were using and wanted to let you know that I appreciate that! Too many people get hung up on getting the exact same paint, and I think this helps fight that, so thanks!

Hell yeah always love a good basing video! 😁

I'm always pumped to do stuff after I hear "Paint! More! Minis!". Thanks for the good content as always!

Oh thank heavens, another base video. You may remember me from the others, these are the best for figuring out how to base my minis (none of which I am certain of anymore). This is an awesome series.

Aesthetically I love the Dragon's Lair the most. It's simple and really gets the point across Conceptually I love the football turf base. I don't even play Blood Bowl and I knew exactly what that base was for and additionally I've never seen anyone do that before!

Wow the Samurai Champloo Cut reference is unreal, just locking in my fav youtube content vreator for mini's.

MOAR BASING VIDEOS! They're so freaking cool!

Extremely nice and usable, i like this series! One thing about the static grass: get an empty herb shaker from the kitchen, but look for one that has the big holes. Wash it well and fill it with the grass, and shake it on the base/terrain with glue already on it, from a height. On the way down many of the fibers will straighten up and end up standing. *Still* not as nice as an actual applicator but works better than just with hands. And for the tube city base, for us cheapskates, while you *can* get a lifetime supply of styrene on a plastics supplies place for the price of a small sheet on a hobby store, you can do this on the cheap with cereal box card, drinking straws and the bodies of q-tips.

For the Sports base, you can always use a popsicle stick to put down the clean(ish) line. Saves the finicky process of the masking tape, and you get a popsicle out of it too.

I'm feeling the videos more since you've been doing them because you like them. It's not always my feel, but I get more out of them. Thank you for the infotainment.

The swamp one was superb! It might be a lil much for some WarHammer dudes but it was like a mini diorama!

Love the razored lawn. 🐺❤️

Those nail-art gems look really good. Gotta pick some of those up to make a nice dragon hoard.

Your basing always inspire me Scott for Paint to Life. I used to ignore the bases but it's like two minis in one! =p

I am so behind you on the clean base rim. So nice to have that crispy finish.

The Dragon Lair Base looks awesome ! I'm definitelly going to steal that when I get to paint the Dragons from Reaper Bones 5 Kickstarter !

Definitely getting some of those gems for treasure chest bases great idea

Thank you! Base trim that is not clean throws off the whole mini. Preach brother, preach.

I am loving this display base series! Your story telling abilities and creativity really shine with each one, can’t wait for MORE 💎

basing is my favorite part. Thanks Scott, great ideas.

Based black rim painter. The hero we need.

Crisp base-rims, my dude!

Eyyyy bases great timing

I love creative base vids. They are like teeny tiny dioramas and introduce me to new ideas and techniques that can be applied beyond bases.Thanks!

Cobblestone idea. Cut little pieces of sprue roughly the size of cobblestone tiles but not too thin Put pieces in a rocktumbler and you end up with a ton of little natural looking tiles or stones or anything you want to smoothout. A rocktumbler can be a great way to recycle sprues.

Each of these bases looked pretty good in the intro, but seeing the transition made them way better. Tons of little bits that I didn't notice until I saw you do them. Also, I love how you're just holding a smoking paper towel after soaking up the super glue for the dragon's hoard base. Random craft smoke, nothing to see here

Another bases video! Love it! You could release 20 of them and I would love them and keep coming back to them.

That trick with the beard trimmer is so clever!

Love these bases, expecially the industrial & swamp ones, the latter could be perfect without the trunk for a not-witcher figure!

Retro green bases are the way to go!!!!

"I don't care what color you paint it, as long as it's painted... And black!" amazing.

football field base is genius, I've never seen that before with the white line, so easy but so perfect 👌

Holy shit that swamp base. Ooh that water. Hoo baby. Gonna have no problem keeping it moist over here for quite some time

The nail art gems idea is rad af!

Love the football field base! When I've got the right tools and enough experience, I'd like to make an Ork army that are all football fans, so that base would work fantastically with some foot'y boyz!

Razor technique awesome. Will definitely use this when I get some Blood Bowl minis. Keep up the awesome work mate.

Reallllly liked that swamp base I must say.

Nail art gems. Brilliant!

These bases look really nice and cool congratulations and keep on going

Awesome as always Scott! 👍🏻😊

Was just watching the snow base video. Spoopy

I love your basing videos, Scott!

Using nail art gems is brilliant! Thanks for the tip. 😁

AMAZING bases! Great work as always!

Loved this 🖤 perfect black rim every time for me.

That new shirt design is sick! Too bad it's the wrong colour.

New sub. That swamp base though 👏. I'm inspired to make one just to put a donkey on... ma very own swamp donkey! LMAO. Love your vids man, hope you keep them coming for a long time

Recently ordered Bloodbowl 2020 and that looks like such a fun way to do the bases! I'm set!

It is a good day when Miniac uploads. A really good day

Comment for algorithm. Love ya

I'd love to see your talents on a snow base concept!

0:53 😯 Circle cutter, genius.

As someone who was just banned from using the potato peeler ever again (cheese grater has been banned for years), watching you use the Dremel made my heart rate go up haha! Seriously, these bases are bad ass. I like all your videos, and besides the space marine skit I think the base videos are my favorite

Amazing bases

I love these videos my man

I love all your videos but I think the basing ones might be my favorites

That Dragon's Hoard base is incredible. I'm truly inspired to use this for my own pieces, I love it!

Awesome. I'm definitely ordering some nail art gems. Never even thought of using stuff like that :D

Love base videos! More please!

I love this series! Can you please continue it? Like a new episode every now and then?

First, love seeing some Blood Bowl love. Sole reason I got into painting minis. Second, who has hurt you with unpainted base rims? I feel like there is a tragic backstory there.

Your opinion about black tshirts is exactly correct. \m/

I’ve been looking forward to this!

I don’t play bloodbowl, but I’d say a lot of those players will love your football inspired one.

Nice like the pipe base.

I would really love to see a video on creating cool 40mm objective markers. I’ve been trying to search for videos on making some and struggling to find something other than banners or horizontal space marines. Please please please

Thank you Scott for raising the awareness of importance of black base rims, i might actually avoid my second stroke.

Hey Scott, were you thinking about making a video about putting some minis onto those bases? :)

Oh man those nail art gems look sooooo good on that base Scott! Solid solid bases, these are my favorite videos of yours.

Right when I was about to glue dis mini down. Epic timing

Love that dragon cave base!

"Making bases is less stressfull" - yeah! I've always thought that. That is the best in between the minis job!

If this would have been posted yesterday then this is what I would have said I was most thankful for at the dinner table.

Let me tell ya that swamp base tutorial is gonna be so usefull for tips when i finally get to making a gaming table for my mangrove forest/swamp/jungle tyranids

I love your basing videos, they're always cool to see different takes on them! Do you think you could do one for interesting Industrial stuff on your next Four Bases video? I'd love to see your take on them and use it for inspiration for my own work armys

Alternatively you can 3D print cobblestone pin rollers from Thingieverse... Works great. You can scale them according to your needs. I used a Anycubic Photon S with FunTodo Ash grey, works fine!

I liked the bases from this video more than your previous "bases video". Great work! I especially liked the dungeon base, it looks amazing!

Your talent never ceases to amaze me and this stuff is incredibly inspiring. Thank you!

Hi Scott, I’m eagerly awaiting my Blood Bowl set, and I’ve been trying to brainstorm how to make a cool turf for my teams, and your video came in at the PERFECT time. Thanks so much, and keep on doing what you’re doing!

So I may have forgotten to say this last night when I originally watched this video. I hope that your family, friends and you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Also, I loved the bases! The "sports, sports, sports!" base it pretty damn cool to me, for some odd reason. I agree that all base rims should always be painted, as well as 99.9% of the time black is the best color for this. However some times other colors are acceptable for the rim color, but it is wholly dependent on the color scheme of the miniature and basing and needs to work across a whole army.

Thanks for another great video, and I get a real good laugh out of you saying to paint the rim on every base. I feel the same way about that and for gods sake drill out the barrels on the guns haha

Great video! I love to paint minis but have always ignored doing anything to my bases, but I really like that Dragon's Lair one. My FLGS carries Green Stuff, hopefully that will work alright instead of milliput.

Always love your basing vids

04:35 honest tendy moment right there

Love these base videos - please do more

I love the base episodes!

Great! Nice one Scott!

Huge fan Scott! Was wondering if you could ever do a walk through for painting in sub assembly. Sigmar death models have some nightmare tight details

Looks really cool, might tweak a couple to use instead of those really bad flying bases
