Basing the Walkers

June 8, 2024

8th June 2024

My indecision regarding basing means that I have ended up going for four overall basing styles for these.

I have four that are going to be tarmac street, three that are tarmac with dirt/gravel, three that are scrub ground with mud and two that are full scrub ground.

I had initially just painted the bases in a sandy beige colour, but then overpainted several with a dark grey.

Tarmac bases

For the tarmac areas of the bases I started out with a dark grey. This was followed by stippling with a mid grey to break up the tone a bit.

Then I added some road marking with white and yellow lines. To break up the ‘newness’ I sponged on some of the original dark grey. After that I added some stippling (very light) with a mid brown and some small areas of a greenish streaking grime.

Dirt / Scrub Ground basing

For the other bases that had either patches or complete areas of ‘dirt’ or scrub ground I applied some of my Ground Texture paste (only have orange though…) This was then painted with beige and highlighting with sand colours. The scrub/mud bases had Agrellan Earth added to the non ground texture areas, the Tarmac/dirt had the non texture area painted as per the tarmac bases.
