Ogre Resurrection
All about that base, bout that base, green flockin'
First things first, the bases where to say the least, basic. So all the ogres got popped off (they were only ever pinned and blue tacked down so I could play)
They had suffered a little damage as I had used a press mould to make the rocks from milliputt in the past so they needed touched up and reprimed I also took the opportunity to add some slate rocks as well.
rocks added and some sand down.Next up priming the pump…and the bases. I primed with Vallejo dark grey and kinda lightened the stones with a light grey Vallejo primer. I wasn’t worried about over spray as the dirt was going to be dirt coloured.
pigments and washes ala my clever rock weathering was next there is a video in this project on it here in my dark age project
dirty dirty, browns down on the mucky bits. The base brown is a household emulsion and then a vallejo tan brown airbrushed on top to lighten it.
final step to add the flock and textures. So far I’ve just got my regular green flock mix on them.
The bases are superb mate,and will really make your army. It shames me to admit that bases are always pretty much an afterthought with me, and this in inspiring to me in a “look what you could do, if you could be arsed you lazy bastard” kind of way. Love a good Mantic project, so I can’t wait to see what you do next.
Cheers matey, nice to see you back on the site again, we’ve missed your furry wisdom.
My current plan is do this to completion and then in March sort of time start Trident Realms.
Great looking bases so far mate! I’m really keen to see the army start to come together!
cheers hoping to get it done and dusted by the end of Feb and then I can move on to the next army. 2020 will be the year of finishing things
Quick question: how did you achieve the elevation on the base? I.e. the hills. Thanks
it’s a mixture of things, the higher elevations are made from high density polystyrene. lower ones tend to be just cork.
Would a tutorial on it be handy?
Essentially I make the box, add the foam, shape it, then cover that in plaster and sand smooth then textures go on afterwards
A short tutorial would be awesome. I’ve been looking around and havent really found anything.
