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.

@ssenrak8117 Год назад

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 !

Just bought my first board game with minis and this informative (and hilarious) intro to base painting basics and tricks will definitely help me! Thanks a bunch! :D

Incredible video with so many helpful tips. Oddly, the most immediately useful thing for me is going to be your technique for taping cardboard for priming.

Love the content, Phil. Army painter is doing a great job with their products. Just picked up their speed painting starter set and can't wait to try it out.

Love the look of the black stone one for Grey Knights, tho kinda want to stick a gloss varnish over it for black glass. Interesting daemon world concept.

Really great video. Now I am way more prepared for a bunch of bases to get painted. Thx for sharing your approach.

@bobyoung8730 2 года назад

You're the best Phil. Lol. This was great. I couldn't agree more. Even if I rush a model (gasp), and it looks like hot cat poop, my basing game is almost always bang on to make up for it!

@reavsie1 2 года назад

Really useful video, thanks. I've been starting to think about how to vary my basing as all my armies have the same gravel just with different colours drybrushed on. Hmmm, seems like TAP have plenty of materials to help there too.

@keeps19 2 года назад

Great video Phil, thank you very much for all of the tips and advice! I just started painting & collecting WH minis back in December, so videos like this are incredibly helpful!

@TheGlacialGeek 2 года назад

The combo of their bases and the Holy White Speedpaint produced some of my favorite bases I have ever had on an army! 😀

@Alex-xn1vg 11 месяцев назад

Hello, great ideas, thanks a lot. Have a good day.

@magnus0017 2 года назад

You could have done "it's all about that base, bout that base, no tenor." Also as someone who hates bases (love me some clear flight stands) still think what you all can do with them is awesome.

@colig54 Год назад

what's battlefield snow taste like on cornflakes and how does sugar perform as a basing ingredient?

@metajock Год назад

Looks good, thanks!

@shadeling6717 2 года назад

never thought to paint snow to get a good basing material. i always used sand which was inked then painted when i started or use premade bases.

@theglowiesareinmywalls Год назад

I like how step 1 is basically "touch grass" lmao

@Tdwise 7 месяцев назад

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 7 месяцев назад

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 11 месяцев назад

How do you then secure the figure to the base if you do the base first? Pins?

@TheGlacialGeek 11 месяцев назад

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

@selvacinema4241 6 месяцев назад

@bradleymoore6293 Год назад

Generally how long does the Battlefield snow/paint mix take to dry? (One super fan itching to dry brush his bases 🙊)

@TheGlacialGeek Год назад

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

@zebr Год назад

It looks like army painter's battle field black battleground is discontinued, do you know an alternative? I really liked your method, but I can't find it anywhere!!

@TheLMS335 Год назад

MY MAN SAID "STEP ONE: TOUCH GRASS"

@savagex466-qt1io Год назад

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.

@MiguelArciaCaballini Год назад

No glue necessary?

Why does everyone on RU-vid think they need to be funny or gimmicky? Video was great, until he tries to be funny. Just give the tutorial and don't use gimmicks.

@TheGlacialGeek 4 месяца назад

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 🙂

Not sure what your intention was other than casual cruelty ... Don't really care either ... Just perhaps don't do it to others in the future.
