Soap Dodger's Kings of War.

I supported and started printing off batches of models, this gave me some time to look at basing.

I looked online then remembered I have a laser cutter and cut bases with room for 10mm/ 2mm magnets.  this should be strong enough for any unit at it’s smallest size. I made these 2mm short on top and a side as I also planned to clad this in plastic card. Reason? I wanted to use wet material and didn’t want to warp the MDF or use Perspex for the bases.

I also made this morular so I could break up larger units for smaller ones and made a further larger base with magnets This I didn’t clad on the sides but used sand sealer on as it’s not getting moist.

I then needed to make the plough lines so used cork, superglued it on then shaped with rough sandpaper and then put that shaved cord back in the middle of each row for texture.

I then covered the full thing in hazelnut spread (aka texture paste).

While still wet I added roots I have dried, bark ground up, coconut fibres, flock, tufts, small broken plaster for rocks, anything I could find. I also stuck some roots as a crop that failed.

I also 3d printed some toads and tortoise for mascots of death.

I decided to paint this as I wanted more drama than a natural setting, I also wanted to match the basing to others models I already found and was starting.

My basing was set. Not all units will have the plough lines in them only scarecrows, but all are going to be spooky assed rural themed.

While doing this I had cut and cleaned the prints from the sprues.
