Levarius' Army of the Dead - Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
Beginning the Bases
In this entry, I begin basecoating the bases that were sculpted by the previous owner of these models. Don’t worry I will show my own attempts at replicating these later at some point!
The first step I took was to use Vallejo Model Colour German Camo Beige. The main reason for this was that i’m going for a white washed stone look, to represent the streets of Minas Tirith, and I wanted the flag stones to still have an earthy base colour rather than just straight grey/white.

Next up was a thin watered down coat of Citadel Ushabti Bone. This coat was applied in 2 layers and begins to build the dark beige basecoat up to the grey for later.
Care was taken to avoid painting the new layers into the recesses or gaps between the flagstones. I want to keep the darker earthy colour there to more the slabs feel more ‘real’. The beige can also resemble building sand underneath the slabs.
