Hi All, My boyfriend and I heard about your podcast from one of your members and thought we'd like to be a part of your community and share some of our recent bases with you all! Nothing like heralding in the New Year with some warhammer. Lately we've been experimenting with a lot of different types of basing - snowy ledges, toxic pools, space hulk themed etc. He builds, I paint. Here's a quick photo of our recent attempt at slushy snow trenchworks.  |

Hey welcome to the community! Those bases are looking stellar- I know one of the members here Kyle does some killer snow bases too, it'd be great to see him incorporate some of that slushy snow as well. How did you make the slush?

Hi Nick! Actually Kyle inspired the trench bases (Hello from Tucson AZ!)...we're going to try a more swampy/mildew-y version next for him! The snow was made with Vallejo water effect mixed with the Woodland Scenic's Snow Effect. If you want slushier snow add more water effect and if you want it chunkier more snow effect. You can sometimes find the woodland scenics on clearance at michaels too! My boyfriend (hindsight on the forum) suspects any generic snow effect should give you the same look though, just have to experiment with the mixes.

They look great, they have a very World War I trench vibe about them. So what army are these for (please don't say orcs)?

Super awesome looking bases there.
Is that standard infantry sized? What's going on top?
Awesome to see new faces on the boards!

While I do fall into the female stereotype of playing orks (or is that just a southwest thing?)...these were not intentioned for orks, but with Cadian guard in mind, specifically Kyle's guard. Hindsight and I have been working on building basing styles appropriate to the army. All bases are scratch built, usually taking less than 5 mins each. I've included some photos below to show some of the ones we've done in the past. (I didn't have any spare spacewolf bases lying around so I just gathered up 5 of em to show instead, sorry!) My orks for example have toxic slime on theirs:  Spawning pools anyone? A friend of ours started a spacewolf chapter so we went for rocky snowdrifts:  And Hindsight's recently started a Firehawk chapter so we incorporated space hulk themed bases:  |
