Astorath actually took me about 8 over an entire day to do him.<br /><br />I've been following your angels review and thoroughly enjoying them! I look forward to seeing some ravenwing battle report.<br /><br />Or even a white scars ravenwing 3000 point+ game... hint hint hintRob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-21473363975145840892015-07-15T13:26:00.706+01:002015-07-15T13:26:00.706+01:00Well thats good to hear about the snow and I'm...Well thats good to hear about the snow and I'm glad I left it plain to add additional detail too. I have some gravel I could add actually that is a nice cold colour so I may try that. The link looks interesting as well so when I have some hobby funds from sales of old models I may have to invest in some!<br /><br />Yeah I will be painting all the sides black for the bases but because I haven't finished basing them I figured to leave them in case I spilt glue or whatever on them, so don't worry my Jedi Master this padawan will be panting them black when all i said and done :PRob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-88237563884807153462015-07-15T13:14:20.260+01:002015-07-15T13:14:20.260+01:00No probs Rob :)

Just super glue it on and it gives an added focal point, a different texture and colour.<br /><br />Check this out, would work nicely but they do other colours as well. I use the swamp tuft for basing my carnival army. Great stuff<br /><br />http://elementgames.co.uk/hobby-and-scenery/the-army-painter/basing-and-accessories/battlefields-xp-winter-tuft-6mm<br /><br />Also adding elements like helmets ect is another great way to add some interest to a base. Another thing to consider is the lip colour of the base. I noticed some are red and some are black. Something as simple as changing the colour to be more symapthetic to the basing really can make a huge difference. I am not too keen on the red, especially as alot of your models are red already. Stick with the black or consider a dark brown maybe. This is all personal taste however, so just experiment until you find something you are happy with. A great base does not have to be complicated, just there to compliment your miniature without distracting too much from it.<br /><br />NafNafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788927908701998169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-71196041376304670242015-07-15T11:09:43.028+01:002015-07-15T11:09:43.028+01:00Some really nice work there, especially for a sing...Some really nice work there, especially for a single night. I spent last night getting three Ravenwing landspeeders painted for a game on Thursday.

I'...Thanks Naf, means a lot coming from you :)!<br /><br />I've always struggled a bit with basing :( I'm quite happy with the snow effect I like how fluffy it is, or do you think the snow is a bit poor also? Its modelling snow designed for model railways that comes with its own adhesive and then I mix it with super glue if I want it to look icy.<br /><br />I know that I'm really lacking a contrasting element, which I why I have left most of my bases very flat so that I can add things on to of them and then add more snow for depth.<br /><br />What are your thoughts on Captain Karlaen's base where I added the chaos marines head?<br /><br />I'm in no massive rush to get them fully done, my death company army will hopefully be ready for Blog Wars X so I've until the start of November to sort it out!<br /><br />Thanks again for helping me get into this blogging lark, I'm blood loving it!Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-17606773513977869252015-07-15T08:49:34.920+01:002015-07-15T08:49:34.920+01:00Looks really good Rob.

I love the red...Looks really good Rob. Nice job :)<br /><br />I love the red highlighting especially, it works really well amd makes the red pop nicely.<br /><br />Look forward to seeing what you do with all your basing, as I feel they do let down your painting a little. A good basing scheme is really important as it does finish a mini off nicely. A well painted mini or army can be lost if the basing is rushed or poor. What do you have in mind for yours?NafNafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788927908701998169noreply@blogger.com
