just got a hold of some new figures and i want to give 'em some nice bases instead of just my usual brown paint or sand. i saw stone-patterned bases once and i'd be interested in trying that out. any suggestions?
and of course any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. |

Stone patterned bases are made by cutting up small square pieces of thin plasticard and gluing them on a base. You can also buy plasticard with a stone or cobble pattern in most hobby shops. But remember that Ogres bruise easily, so you'd better give 'm fluffy bases...

I made some of these bases for single models. What I did was just flattening a piece of greenstuff by pressing it onto the table, using my fingers, so it wasn't flattened too evenly. Then, using a wet knife I cut off pieces to use; not necessarily squares/rectangles. These I pushed onto the base, again with my fingers. Then with help of my knife I would make the edges straight and relatively sharp; and with my finger I would flatten the top of the flagstone.
It is a LOT of work, though, doing it this way, but the good side is that you can make irregularly shaped and relief-ed flagstones...
Sorry, can't post a pic...

10 balls? That might come in handy for a naked Slaanesh champion
Does he also plan on sculpting a sprue with 10 tits on it?
