Gorram's Grand Army Project

I got through another twenty Riftforged Legionaries this week so I should now have enough for my three starting regiments. This post is about how I have based them but mistakes were made so this is a cautionary tale; don’t be like me.

As usual, I started with an MDF base from Warbases. The orcs are heavy infantry so based on 25mm so the regiment is 125mmx100mm. I forgot to drill bases and putting magnets in them so we were already teetering on making life harder than necessary.

• Some torn up 2mm cork sheeting to give a bit of height. 
• Then a layer of AK Terrain Desert Sand
• Primed with dark brown
• Black used to edge the rock layers to give an extra level of depth
• Stippled Vallejo London Grey and then GW Administratum Grey
• This is when I should have glued down the models… I was too busy “doing” to be “thinking” and instead put down a layer of Geek Gaming Scrublands Base Ready mix
• Some random wee patches of washes to add more interest to the rocks
• Glued down the models, or tried to at least ? Some of them are definitely going to come off on their first trip to the table. The mix of particulates is too big to get a good foothold once the glue is dry.     

These three bases will be the main part of my first 750 points which are meant to be playable for February. I need to paint up two other solo minis and then hopefully they can get to the table.
