This is a Glacial Geek Hobby Video!
Basing our miniatures is always the last thing we think about when painting minis. It's not as shiny and cool as figuring out our miniature's color scheme and seems to take forever when we expand it to an entire army. Well Phil, the Glacial Geek, is here with 6 easy to do basing schemes to get your models on the table top fast and looking great!

Ooh, another tip...after tyour drybrush on the concrete base, you can use Military Shader to give it a mossy, moldy effect.

That was exactly what I was searching for ! I looked about how to base miniatures because 90% of my armies are not based and they are not great display minitures. Most of the videos are about colour theory, specific technics for awesome base for an awesome fig, but I just wanted basic ideas to batch paint bases, and that what you gave us. Thank you for that !

How do you go about gluing your model on the base after the whole process? Just superglue? Isn't it too brittle? Great video in any case.
@TheGlacialGeek 5 ай бұрын
I usually find just super glue works well enough for most models. Some can be a bit heavier or have smaller "foot" surfaces that come in contact with the base, and for those I will pin them through the base 🙂
@OckamGamer 9 ай бұрын
How do you then secure the figure to the base if you do the base first? Pins?
@TheGlacialGeek 9 ай бұрын
A lot of these are light enough that you shouldn't have to worry much with just some super glue on the feet (especially with models with bigger footprints like Space Marines). If you find they have trouble staying connected then a simple pin with a bit of paperclip should do wonders

Generally how long does the Battlefield snow/paint mix take to dry? (One super fan itching to dry brush his bases 🙊)
@TheGlacialGeek Жыл бұрын
Not super long ... It's essentially a thick coat of paint that needs to dry (don't tell Duncan 😏) ... But I have DEFINITELY tried dry brushing too soon (basically the first one each time I do it 😛) so I know the pain of waiting

No glue necessary?
@savagex466-qt1io Жыл бұрын
I always thought the pva glue would stick better without a primed base ? I have done it both ways and so far I have not had a problem. However your not the first person to say that so I think il do it your way just to be safe.

Sorry you feel that way. I will say most people who make videos online do so because they want to create something they either enjoy making or that they're proud of making. So any individual quirks or gimmicks you see are probably the creator putting their mark on their creation 🙂
