ALL ABOUT THAT BASE

*****

Hey guys it’s time for my big basing post where I add some more colour to the bases of my sisters. It took a little while admittedly to get to a result I was finally happy with but I got there in the end. It should make the rest of my army a lot quicker to complete (haha in theory)

PAINT LIST

*****

• DRY KINDLEFLAME
• CONTRAST GORE GRUNTA FUR
• CONTRAST BASILICANUM GREY
• WRAITHBONE
• CONTRAST MEDIUM
• LEADBELCHER
• CONTRAST BLACK TEMPLAR
• RETRIBUTOR ARMOUR
• AGRAX EARTHSHADE
• ARMY PAINTER SHINING SILVER

KINDLEFLAME & CONTRAST-GORE GRUNTA FUR

*****

I began by applying a light edge drybrush of Kindleflame dry paint to the base. Taking care not to get any in the shadows. I then followed this up with a light coat of Gore-Grunta fur Contrast to blend those highlights back in.

CONTRAST BASILICANUM GREY & WRAITHBONE

*****

I then used a layer of Wraithbone to paint over the iconography on the base, rocks & metal elements followed by Basilicanum grey contrast. I then used Wraithbone to highlight both the Basillicanum grey & apply an edge highlight to the rest of the base.

SILVERS

*****

Following on from that I added a coat of Leadbelcher to all of the metal grids on the bases. Then hit it with a 3:1 wash of Contrast Black Templar & Contrast Medium to fill in those recesses.

GOLDS

*****

After that I painted all of the flueur de lis symbols Retributor armour followed by a wash of Agrax Earthshade. Finally I highlighted all the silvers & golds with an edge highlight of Shining Silver by Army Painter.

BASES FINALLY DONE

*****

I’m pretty chuffed with how these came out. In the next step I’ll be painting all of the candles on the miniatures. I also apologise for prematurely rimming (pun intended) my bases with abaddon black. Such a mighty action should only be taken last but I had to see how they tied together.

Hope you all enjoyed the update & I’ll see you on the next one.

Much Love
