I've really gotten into painting my bases lately, and finding interesting ways to paint them quickly! I wanted to experiment more from our lava bases, and see what else could be pulled off. Really impressed with the speed and look of these quick and simple toxic/plague like bases which absolutely awesome under a Necron or Plague Marine.
Was my first real play with my airbrush and didn't find the learning curve too strong - keeping it simple with just some basing to begin with :-)

As you already had the airbrush around, you could have sprayed a bit of the green and/or yellow at the Necrons from below, giving the bases a kind of eerie, toxic glow.

That’s a great idea!!

@davidlabrash2294 6 месяцев назад

Would you please do one for ice/snow/frost looking? I'm not sure how to begin. Absolutely love this crackle paint idea!

@WatchItPaintIt 6 месяцев назад

I'd probably use a light blue undercoat - then use a white crackle paint. Just don't know who makes one 🤔

@evilmattn 6 месяцев назад

Extra effect tipp: Use martian ironearth instead and go over it black with an airbrush while it is still wet.

@nicholasmiller4756 6 месяцев назад

Take a UV light to those bases and watch them really light up

@davidhardstaff8110 6 месяцев назад

I am going to have a play at doing this with modle already glued on. It might/should tie the feet of the modle to the base. I will make sure no crackle on the feet though.

@ScytheNoire 7 месяцев назад

The new Fanatic Effects Disgusting Slime is basically the colour you painted the base. :) I love neon green.

@WatchItPaintIt 7 месяцев назад

Is it!? I have it but it didn’t look as bright! I will try it out

@kevinryan7531 6 месяцев назад

Greenstuff world has a nice fluorescent range that work great through an airbrush.

@WatchItPaintIt 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip!

@ScottieJ448 6 месяцев назад

these look great! im going to try this technique myself but only crackle paint i have is 'AK's Dark and Dry Crackle Effects Diorama', which I have practically 0 experience with. Fingers crossed! Thanks for this video though man!

I do the same thing with Moot Green. I use it for my Thousand Sons like the ground is being cracked open by Chaos magic.

@goforitpainting 6 месяцев назад

Looks cool

@BunniRabbi 6 месяцев назад

You know, if you took a few neon or pastel colors and blended them from one tobthe nextnunder the black crackle paint you would have a neat chaos-y look.

It's reminisicent of a post-Hand of Gul'Dan Shadowmoon Valley. (from World of Warcraft)

@Theigzorn 6 месяцев назад

looks great. but at the end i would suggest to seal the base with a varnish (shiny or matt) , else the crackle paint might chip off over time. if i ever get a 28mm illidan stormrage model this base colour woud be perfect.

@WatchItPaintIt 6 месяцев назад

Oh yes great tip! I completely forgot to mention, I did varnish mine after it dried.

@TheMariusDarkwolf 6 месяцев назад

Have you tried Gauss Green from AP's neon Air range? Mind you on the cracklebases I usually tap a hole with a small drill and run a bit of wire like a bit of paperclip and use superglue. I do want to try that jungle green though that's BRIGHT

@WatchItPaintIt 6 месяцев назад

I have that one, in the bottle it looks really dark though? I need to give it a try. I thought about pinning these minis on the base too, but just wanted to test scratching and gluing and they have held up very strong. But pinning is definitely the better option

@TheMariusDarkwolf 6 месяцев назад

@WatchItPaintIt it does look dark, but especially on a white undercoat it's super bright. Using a brush I had to do 3 coats to get a good depth of color like your video shows

@niallburke8985 5 месяцев назад

I bought mordant earth for these style bases and unfortunately it doesn't crackle dry like its supposed to

@WatchItPaintIt 5 месяцев назад

It definitely should do! Did you shake it/mix it, did you put it on thick? Did you let it dry naturally?

@Nosferatuklown 7 месяцев назад

I do the exact same bases, I enjoy tesseract glow from citadel. I'm still hunting for a good alternative for mordant earth in large quantity.

@WatchItPaintIt 7 месяцев назад

Niceeee! Oh me too, this stuff is expensive to paint large batches. Let me know if you ever find anything good

Why does nobody ever consider the poor skaven and their toxic warpstone bases....

@WatchItPaintIt 6 месяцев назад

Damnnnn. Now I feel bad! Excellent suggestion!

@preparingcalmly 6 месяцев назад

Going to do this for blackstone fortress… any idea what air colors would do neon blue??

@WatchItPaintIt 6 месяцев назад

I want to try that myself. Any idea what you’d call the base? I’d give it a college try if I was making a video about it :D

@robbie_g8308 7 месяцев назад

Hey Ben nice bases. Ak interactive and Greenstuff world have crackle texture paints. I've used them both there worth a look

@WatchItPaintIt 6 месяцев назад

Oh nice! I need to check them out, but I worry there’s a huge import tax?

@robbie_g8308 6 месяцев назад

@Coombsy17 6 месяцев назад

I love the look. How durable is crackle paint? It seems like it would flake off after a while. Anyone know if there are any ways of sealing the crackles to prevent flaking?

@WatchItPaintIt 6 месяцев назад

Sorry, I glossed over the step where I varnished them! I don’t know what, but I always add a quick layer of varnish once the crackle has dried

@Coombsy17 6 месяцев назад

@@WatchItPaintIt No problem at all mate, I probably wasn’t paying attention enough in the video to see that bit. Great to hear varnish works!

@nicholasschian6651 6 месяцев назад

My son did similar for Tyranids

@nicholasschian6651 6 месяцев назад

And I did the multi layer lava under my Salamanders in this manner. NEVER skip the glue/sealer layer!! Make sure you seal it after finishing the crackle as well. So it doesn’t flake off over time.
