The Wolves of Caliban
Test Miniature Part 3
So I finished off basing the test miniature with the Vallejo Black Lava/Asphlat. I put a light drybrush of Ash Grey to pick out the highest parts once it had dried. To finish it off and add to the city type feel I chopped a bit of plastic “I” beam gave it a base of Vallejo Boltgun Grey and then used the Model Mates Rust Effect paint to really rust that piece of iron. A bit of dead grass (Warpainter 10mm), I went with half of a piece that they provide and use a drop of superglue rather than relying on the self-adhesive on the grass. I then pondered on the ring of the base and decided to go with black to blend in with the top of the base. I feel that I have achieved the aim of the figure not merging into the base too much. I sat down last night and cracked on with a sergeant figure (he has a bolt pistol and chainsword). I’ve finished basing him, but I’m not happy with the aquila on his chest. I went back to the box of figures to pick out the rest of the squad and realised how many of them have bolt pistols and chainswords – I think I will need to replace some backpacks with jumppacks to make good use of them.
