I _do_ actually use tea leaves, as standard. Your normal tea bag has really finely chopped leaves which make great base texture; glue it down and seal it, and it's as good as fine sand. And one bag, ripped open and left to dry, gives you enough material to cover _loads_ of bases. I'm currently using them on Termagant bases for a kind of "razed earth" texture.
@VinceVenturella4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, there are so many different uses of textures and types of teas that make it wonderful as a basing material for all sorts of purposes.

I've made a few test pieces, but it feels like if I put any plants on they will cover the model up, does it matter if it covers a troop? Or is it a better idea to just implement a tuft and some moss around the base as "plant life"? Thanks again for all the great content!
@VinceVenturella4 жыл бұрын
So the small base I was working on was a 32mm base for a single character of the size you are describing. Wht I tend to do on the small bases is have less plants, You can cover a foot or something like that and that is fine, it can feel cool. I would avoid covering any more than the lower legs. When the larger bases are mixed in, the feeling will still come across when they have more plants and biger pieces.

I have another question. I bought a tuft meadow set, which has 4 types of grass colors for a beautiful look. If I use wash, won't it make them all look the same? I don't want it to look like I just dropped them off the paper onto the base either. Should I use all different washes or what should I do?
@VinceVenturella4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, you can mix some different washes, they will still very much feel different (for example if you have pale white tufts versus bright green, some weak agrax earthshade isn't going to change them dramatically, it's just going to draw them together). If you have very alien colors, like the pink/blue you can still use the darker shades and draw them into the earth, but you can also just combine them with some darker shades of that color (for example, using dark blue wash and getting some of that on the ground around), the key isn't just the tufts, but the ground around it to tie them together.

Thank you for this, your videos have really helped me figure a lot of things out in the hobby. I am using this for some Lizardmen basing, but I've ran into a problem.. the primer flakes off the plastic aquarium plants I bought.. since they're not rigid, any minor force, even a strong breath, will cause them to bend and crack. What do you recommend, please? Could I get away with simply washing them? Or paint them without priming? These will be handled so I can't get away with just locking them in a display cabinet for the rest of time :(

Interesting, you may just want to try a wash and drybrush, or varnish them straight, then apply the wash and drybrush.

Just regular old varnish, Matte, Satin, ultra matte, whatever, just a good varnish coat to lock eveything in.

Is the Gel Locktight glue a superglue or replacement for standard superglue? Asking because I am hoping to find a new superglue that is better than my current one (Warcradle, not a big fan of it). Is there a superglue that is as much better than the compeition as the Tamaya Extra Thin is over other plastic glues?
@VinceVenturella Жыл бұрын
Yep, it's a superglue, it's wonderful.

What was that box of bits with the rocks and downed pillars? Also where did you find the awesome fence piece with the skulls? I’ve looked in your transcript and watched this video 3 time I can’t hear good so I must be missing it.
@VinceVenturella2 жыл бұрын
Fence piece is from the original warcry terrain. Rocks and pillars were resin pieces from Gamers Grass.
