Definitely love the back to basics vibe of your videos. Often we can get caught up in making things look perfect, but this game will really let us focus on the bigger picture. Army wide painting vs characters/ squads is a very different approach and Epic should really embody that. I will likely be putting some fine texture on my bases here and there to represent rubble or something like that. Not sure though, since 5 tiny men to a base is super compact 😅!! Love the sponge method as well.
Cheers pal and yes extra details would look ace but space is for sure at a premium. I was thinking of a pile of rubble taking up the back half of a base for my assault marines and then having three models on top of that for the illusion of height.
Fantastic! I would love to see more ideas. Maybe a red/orange mars type base, or a blue/grey base (a little lighter than the one in the vid), or green (kind of a fungal or jungle covered planet).
Slightly outside your normal content, but I would love to see some content on converting bases to match the Imperialis sculpted designs. Many folks (myself included) have Titanicus or Aeronautica models without the new sculpted bases. And would love to see some ideas on how to base them to match the Imperialis ones since all the sculpted ones to order individually are completely sold out.
@@MediocreHobbies It would be really helpful, as I have a small titan legion and Xiphon Interceptors on sprue from Titanicus and Aeronautica that have been waiting for this project, but am unsure how to proceed to base them to match my Imperialis models. I can mount the flight stands of the Xiphons into 40mm bases easily enough, but not sure how to base those and the titan bases to match Imperialis bases. Lord only knows how long till the sculpted ones on the GW website come back into stock.
I already did all my bases using your marble version from your infantry video, I love it. So easy to do, took about an hour to lazily do all the bases. That's when I discovered I had one extra 25mm base too lol. (Apparently having too many/too few is a common mistake in the core box...)
I do love a good basing video, I’d like to see a good marble base video. Maybe with a light marble and gold veins, or a dark marble with turquoise veins etc
I'm really enjoying your Legion Imperialis content. Its really helpful for a Warhammer nube like me! Can i request more base variants please. Nice one fella.
Rusted metal base would be cool to see, plus definitely would like to see textured, natural bases. These would be less straightforward thsn usual as you would need enough texture to cover the existing detail, but small enough for the scale. If you do any videos on this then advice for adding the models afterwards would be good as texture may change things - getting them to sit flat, blending the models base bit between their feet with the actual base, etc.
Would love to see some more basing techniques, especially adding some texture/flock. Also, when you attach stuff to the bases after they've been painted, do you just use super glue? I've had issues with glueing stuff to painted materials in the past where they fall off easy and tear paint with them. Any suggestions?
Loving the light grey base for my Blood Angels. I envision them fighting on the walls of the Imperial Palace against the Death Guard or Sons of Horus. Awesome tutorial, as usual. I am really enjoying the Legion Imperialis content. Would love to see more 30 content as well.
Oh that would look great with them! I have all the legions for heresy done already if you want to check them out some time too! Glad you’re enjoying the videos and always let me know if you have suggestions for more!
Honestly, love your videos at the moment! Personally I would love to see some variation bases, simple foliage kinda thing. I’m currently thinking a lighter grey for my Dark Angels myself
Id love to see more of your ideas for basing. I'm also going with imperial fists as my 30K and 40K space marine armies are Fists or fist sucsessors. I think a slightly darker almost brownsandstone colour might be what I go with
Finished a box of auxilia yesterday using your guide ( changed some colors around to match my traitor theme ). When's the vehicle video for the solar auxilia now 😅😅
Excellent video. While you might be right about the base colors for your Imperial Fist's, I think in the end you will be happy with the lighter tone as they will go with your board color choices. I am going for the 1st and 2nd color schemes for the board tiles. Could you do a buildings/terrain video?
I'm conflicted, I am doing Astartes with Knights and Titans supporting, but my Legion is Word Bearers in Red and Black, so a light base would work well with those dark colors...same with the Titans form Legio Mortis. However, my Knights are House Malinax, which I think need a darker base to shine. Trying to figure out a good compromise that will fit with all three.
Yes and that is indeed an issue you will have to figure out. I’d say go for the one that will make most of the army pop. And a few knights in odd bases won’t matter that much.
This was a good video, very simple but sometimes the simplw ones help out a lot. I've only recently started to base my minis more seriously so these are some great ideas. I feel like "Trust the Process" needs to be on a shirt with how often you reassure us on how things will turn out but that's not a bad thing either:) If possible could you make a marble base? Unless that's what the grey base was supposed to look like it succeeded just was sure. Great video as always Andy :)
I can for sure do a marble base but it would be airbrushed. I tend to avoid airbrushing on the Chanel even though I own 6. As not everybody has access and I don’t want to diss appoint people.
@@MediocreHobbies thats perfectly fine. I think some lighter colors your grey sponged base looks similar to marble so an airbrush version wouldn't be bad at all :)
So with those 3 bases and talking about color to help the army, which one would you pick for a world eaters. I was thinking your grey one scheme but the dark blue one did look awesome to me as well
Thank you so much for the reply. I’m gonna try your blue recipe and hope I don’t mess up my world eaters then. Thank you so much for all your videos and tutorials. You gave me a new passion on painting and creating again.
People confuse clean sometimes. The bristles can get stained. So you can’t get them back to white but as long as the bristles are soft and now. Are stuck together then I’d say it’s clean. I just sue brush soap.
Awesome painting man love the bases and I mean think the free section is there so you provide updates and promos for people that might want to subscribe sort like posting to other social media sites saying new videos out subscribe today to see etc 🤷♂️
What color do you think would fit the world eaters white/blue? Maybe the darker 2nd base so that the models pop more? Or maybe it's better to camouflage the paint jobs with the sandy base especially since I bet the orange/yellow hue would pair well with the world eaters.
