Family Burrows and Badgers
Basing Family Warbands
We’re planning to go autumnal on the bases (except my son who wants to do snow).
I decided we would stick them to the required base size and use my favourite basing medium to get things going.
I had a pot of filler with sand a paint (paint not important here as they will be primed afterwards) mixed in already. It needed a little extra sand to get a good gritty texture and then was applied with a small palette knife. Then stippled with an old brush to get rid of knife marks. Last thing was to add a few small rocks and cat litter.
The only challenge was from the mole. My wife decided that it was to be standing on top of a molehill. Smarter and more patient people would have made a foam or green stuff hill to cover, however, we just piled up loads of filler which bulged and sagged. Then did it in layers but didn’t give it enough time to dry. Finally cobbled together with super glue it ended up not too bad.
Finally a mole on its hill.
