The Wolves of Caliban
Problem Number 2 - Basing
So I have a solution for the size of the bases, now I need to sort out the actual basing colour. I’ve done some many armies on a green base (when I started it was all I knew how to do) and I had originally intended to put my Dark Angels on a grey city rubble type base as I did with my Grey Knight (picture below). However, I thought that the Grey would need something very different to make the miniature pop off the base rather than blend in. I’ve used the GW texture base (Astrogranite in particular) previously, but for a whole army they aren’t that cheap. Sorastro introduced me to Vallejo’s texture paint when I watched the tutorials for the Star Wars Legion miniatures and I have a pot of earth colour. So time to check out the other colours they do I think. I have purchased a pot of Black Lava/Asphlat which I have now put on three spare bases so I can see what it looks like and try some different dry brush colours and washed.
