You could have just slathered on Goblin Green and called it a day :) So refreshing to see brightly coloured, evocative and varied bases belonging to a single set. I think you’ve portrayed the reality bending “otherness” of a Blackstone fortress perfectly. I’m keen to experiment with a variation of this technique to try and evoke wraithbone. You two have done great work once again. Please keep them coming!

Call me a derp but with some Miniatures i intentionally go for the "classic" green base. I did a little speedpaint to get my bloodbowl orks looking good enough for a few games and i think in that case the base somewhat connects classic bloodbowl with the new miniature line. Although I'm a sucker for nostalgic stuff anyway XD

Another great vid, as an airbrush artist I had a box full of bit n pieces to create paint effects. The comb is a good idea, I used a flat brush with notches snipped out to give me several parallel lines in one pass. Tooth brush with a little paint to create speckling by dragging your finger across the bristles. One of my favourites when using spray, was used tumble dryer sheets as a soft stencil, gently pull at the fibres to create thin areas allowing paint through. Slowly building up layers for amazing textures. Look fwd to your next paint.........Loving the turntable btw 😀

I did one base with your ratio and I did not work in any way. I have worked out the ratio for all the colors apart from white scar.
