I’ve been printing some of the new Cyber Forge minis this weekend and decided that I really need to heed @lloyd on these to make them shine – faces and bases; I’ve no fear with painting eyes and faces any more but have a strange paranoia about bases. With a resin printer, however, it took just 20 minutes to print 8 full “toppers” for my 32mm bases.

The thing is…. I’ve a load of pre-painted minis now with plain boring black disks, so I figured I need to finish them off with some nice basing. I’ve got 3 technical paints in my cart at store.ontabletop.com (armageddon dust, agrellan badland and astrogranite). Before I pull the trigger does anyone have any recommendations?

Most of my minis are for an urban setting, so I’m not a big fan of cracked earth and little grass tufts. I’m hoping I can get away with just smudging on a technical paint, giving it a base and a wash and a simple highlight and calling it done.

Is it going to be as “easy” as slapping on some astrogranite and drybrushing? Or is there something I’m overlooking and am likely to end up making a complete mess of these?
