The Drowned Earth - Wispa's Militia painting project
Basing Idea - test piece
I’ve done a test piece for the basing I’m going to use – some step pics below.
Vallejo Ground Texture (Rough White Pumice)Here’s the colours / technique I tried to use :
Mud:
VGC Beasty Brown
VMC Flat Earth – heavy drybrush
Terminatus Stone – drybrush
Pools:
(old GW) Rotting Flesh (would be Nurgling Green now I think) mixed with some Steel Legion Drab
Stegadon Scale Green mixed with Steel Legion Drab
Then (tried) to wet blend the two colours.
Base colours addedNext step was a wash of Agrax Earthshade all over (but avoid too much or pooling on the watery bits).
Agrax Earthshade all over (still wet in photo!)Final step when everything is try was to add some realistic water. It sort of seeped on to the mud bits but in the end that doesn’t look to bad I think. Adds something to it.
Woodland Scenics Realistic Water - few drops addedI think that’ll work out ok, especially when I’ve added rocks and foliage into the mix so I’ll give it a go…
Looks really cool! The water effect going over the land is not bad at all, it makes it look more realistic.
