I. Bases (Prep)

  1. We assume the base is primed with Chaos Black
  2. Continue with the steps below in the following order

II. Bases (Rocks)

  1. Here we use Battlefield rocks from Army Painter and base them with Dawnstone before gluing them to the mini base.
  2. Glue the rock with super glue and shade the rocks with Agrax Earthshade
  3. Dry brush Karak Stone

III. Bases (Technical Paint)

  1. Apply Stirland Mud texture paint. For the purpose of saving time and money, you only need to apply this towards the edges of the base, as this will be where the soil shines through.

IV. Bases (Static Grass)

Here we use a static grass approach to contrast the deep purples with summer grass. Two mixes of different lengths of static grass are produced (all from greenstuffworld.com).

I. 2-3mm mix of Dry Yellow Pasture/Spring Grass/Deep Green Meadow of 1:3:3

II. 4-6mm mix of Dry Yellow Pasture/Spring Grass 1:1

  1. Thin PVA glue with water and apply it over all the grassy areas.
  2. Then use the applicator to first apply a layer of 2-3mm mix, shake excess off and re-apply.
  3. Then apply the 4-6mm mix (without adding any new glue), shake excess off and re-apply.
  4. These should now give a diverse and natural look. Clean up any stray grass from the rim by carefully brushing in direction of its growth.

V. Bases (Decoration)

  1. Super glue any shrubs, flowers, wild mushrooms to the base as easter eggs if you desire.
