"whatever I had lying around" is the official thickness of all styrene panels.
Lol seriously
There is no other thickness 👍👍
I haven't read anything more true in awhile....
You can use the lids of old margarine and ice-cream tubs. Cut the middle out and its free plasticard.
@@jonathondaniels2127 that’s a good idea, cheers 👍👍
How to make cursed city bases
Step 1: Have the cursed city boxset
LMAO I’m sorry lol
April 2021, the Cursed City Incident
@@LISHAI94 I cri evertim
Wooo!!! Entirely worth the danger to thumbs. The colors came out so good!!! :-)
Thanks Brent!!! As long as ur careful the thumbs will be okay ✨
Who needs thumbs anyways? Paws is all I needs! 😉🐶🥰
Thumbs regrow, bases are eternal.
I've found my ideal solution for protecting my thumbs; it is applying the plaster to it BEFORE I START. Really it works wonders and I no longer throw blood for the blood god at every model I assemble :O!
@@jeannefrenken3284 but u needs blood for blood god!! On every model!!!!! 🤷♂️🥰🐶
Efficiency is for people who don’t spend their time painting .1mm eyeballs!!! You nailed the look, nicely done!
The most cursed way to make the bases is to cut the game board into circles and glue them to your bases
Buy a copy of the rules and boards and cards and dice on ebay or troll trader and use all that for your bases on the full set you bought just for an extra flex
Despite your repeated statements that it takes a long time, the end result looks SO GOOD I'm 100% going to try this on my day off tomorrow
Incredible work! I traveled 500 miles away for a wedding this past weekend and found a copy of Cursed City in small town gaming store. I have never been so lucky. I can't wait to try this method out; I love how it looks!
These are horrifically good. The way you manage to match the game board is incredible
Based on your plan to "partially paint" the models before playing, I highly recommend varnishing them. And then when you're ready to do the "finishing" paintjob, give them a light wash in warm soapy water... Finger oils can rub paint off, and also make it harder for new paint to adhere!
A good idea! I was considering something like that
I would absolutely love lore and painting videos! The Morathi video is probably one of my favorites.
Styrene and superglue is exactly how I used to do cobble stone bases. It's a great, if time consuming technique.
I've recently switched to texture rollers on sheets of firm sculpy clay. Before baking the clay, I use a somewhat oversized cookie cutter to get rid of excess. Once it's baked I use a compass (or in my case abuse a caliper to be a compass) to score them to the right size. Then use a pair of scissors to cut them out. This gives a lovely bit of tear out, that will make the edge look interesting, but uniform. Layer up with cork and partial sections to make it look more interesting.
The most tedious, and messy part is cutting out the bases. If that's not your jam, you can do the Wappel method of just breaking the sculpy sheets in chunks roughly the right size, and being cool with overhang.
I'll definitely be testing out a similar method on a future project!!! thanks for the input!
Ok, the glaze medium tip alone is gold, thank you.
I'm continually amazed by the patience artists have. Now I know why my minis suck, lol.
I stumbled across this video while looking up basing ideas and I'm glad I found it. I'll be doing a few minis for my Pathfinder games with this, probably ending up being a lot more than a few with the relative inexpensiveness of the polystyrene sheets are.
Dana: The only downside is it's rather time consuming.
Me: Still in a Global pandemic with nothing but time.
Thanks Dana, these look great!
Oooh! I can't wait to see what your Dutchies of Vinci project is. I've been printing them like mad. The sculpts are SOOOOO cool.
I did like the in-character lore video, pretty neat and these tiles are great as well
If anyone can't find styrene near them, I used thick cereal card or chipboard for years before getting plasticard! With card you can score in cracks and details with a normal pen too. Great result Dana!
Glaze medium and contrast paint. Oh boy this may be a game changer. Time to spend the rest of the afternoon experimenting!!
✨superglaze!✨😊👍
Another great video.... I did something similar but using plaster.....mixed quite stiff then rolled out between cling film then textured with a ball of foil. Once dry the thin slab of plaster breaks into flagstones really easy once scored and can also be shaped with little effort. I seal the finished base with watered down PVA before priming. I'll certainly be using your painting as a guide. :)
I am going to redo the bases for my Blood Bowl Goblins after seeing this. The grave base I have did not wind up working as well as I wanted, and the larger stones can mimic astrogranite. Good stuff, Dana. Thanks for making this video.
This is exactly what I hoped to do for my bases. I just got my Cursed City box from the reprint. I'm hoping popularity goes up with the new boxes in circulation, as well as hints that expansions may be on the horizon.
Maybe now's a time to bring cursed city tutorials back from the dead! *_*
Love One Page Rules by the way. Am a Patron for a year now. :0) Thanks for all you do Dana.
What I like to do is use xps foam. That way you can make longer, oblong shapes that you can then cut identical, thin slices from. I find this faster! Also, you can then texture it with aluminium etc. The styrene looks great though!
you could also use polystyrene food containers washed out they make great cobbles and you can easily cut them with scissors
plus you get to eat the takeaway too :)
If you do this, roll up some tinfoil into a ball and then use that ball to add some nice texture to your foam!
@@YanniCooper yep and of course you can carve cracks into them with a pencil too :)
Have now done this for all my Mordheim and Cursed City bases and they look amazing. Yes, a little time consuming, messy and am missing a few fingertips, but I will not be sculpting stone tile bases with Milliput again! Cheers Dana
Human sacrifice! Citadel and Vallejo paints mixed together! Mass hysteria!
These look very good. When I do tiles or stones, I use old gift cards instead of plasticard, and cheap scissors instead of a knife. Problem with cards is they need a good sanding before painting. While sanding does add texture, it also adds another step in an already tedious effort. Love the finished look.
Very pretty base. I love how you were honest about messing up a few times and correcting. a) it is interesting and helps us learn from mistakes b) it does make it feel more accessible than 100% right in the first take.
Going to reproduce these bases for my midnight sons figures (Marvel Crisis Protocol).
Thank you!
Started today with my tiles! For my fellow Dutchies, I found a Dutch hobby store that sells polystyrol sheets which is basically the same thing. Thanks for the great tutorial Dana. :-)
you are very welcome, have fun!
literally googled "how to cobblestone bases" because I am painting up my cursed city models lol, thanks for the guide!
Lovely idea, I made something similar using a sheet of foamed pvc instead of styrene. Found it to be easy to carv and texture using a hobby blade and a peeble. Nice colour scheme.
A way to possibly speed this up a bit Dana, is to make something like 20 blocks of various sizes and shapes, then make a silicone mold and use a quick cure resin. While a bit more expensive, and also kind of messy, once you get a working mold, you can churn out a ton of this bricks like no tomorrow and have enough material for your cursed city box or any other future projects you may want them for.
If "Bluestuff" mold-making thermo plastic and resin are a part of one's crafting arsenal, one could make a couple bases like this and then make a press mold from the Bluestuff to cast a lot of copies in resin.
Love the result love the video, as usuall :D Those lore/painting video are awesome and pretty unique to you're channel ! I'm all in for more :D
They came out lovely. Definitely worth the work for a few character models. You are a better person than me attempting it for 60 models in one hit!
And yes, more "Howl Lore" please :)
Looks really great. Totally worth the time. Awesome as always, Dana!
You, 52 and Billion-Dollar are really bringing something that feels fresh to the "how to hobby" video scene. You are very much a breath of fresh air in this space. Another fantastic video and another thanks for the work you very obviously put in to these.
PS: The lore/painting video concept seems very solid to me. I would watch for sure.
Awesome Dana, perfect bases
They turned out great! The colors are gorgeous.
Great result!! Really adds to the feel of the models. Thanks for inspiring.
Yesssssssss
This is exactly the video I was hoping to see! Thank you!
Thanks! I was thinking a lot of people could use this
Very enjoyable, your videos are unique and smart. Always learn something new.
So awesome! This was a fantastic tutorial.
These look great Dana, well worth the effort put in (he says having done none himself)
These look mint, Dana. Some great colour matching and top tip with the super wash recipe. Thank you.
Fantastic job love how they came out 😊
Thanks for this awesome idea. My 13 year old son has just started to get into D&D (and we've both been madly 3D printing) and these are going to make his character's bases look amazing. Top shelf stuff :)
These are really great bases. Cant wait to try this out.
Absolutely using this scheme and method for my bases. Beautiful!
Was looking for something like this a while ago! this is the best implementation of this concept that I have seen.
Very nice! They really fit in with the board!
i've always loved doing handcut cobbles and flagstones and find the inefficiency sort of... meditative, if that makes sense?
also! the colours came out FANTASTIC and match the board so well.
thanks for this!
i absolutely started doing this as soon as you posted a photo of them on twitter and as much as it is time consuming it does look very sick irl. I used texture paint as the glue though which is probably a waste of that stuff put saved me alittle time.
Exactly what I was trying to figure out. Great video
I did something similar for my Doom3 minis a while, I wanted to cry by the time I was done
Dana you're friggin awesome! Your tutorials rock!
Absolutely beautiful end result. The colours are perfect
These look great Dana! Inspires me to finally tackle some basing!
Awesome! Thats what i needed! Thanks
You can use Bristol board as a cheaper substitute, it even has a very faint stoney texture to it. Only extra step it requires is a coat of thinned PVA to harden the card.
now I want to make this bases for a Sisters of Battle Kill Team :O
Good idea! These would be great for a smaller unit like that!
Dana smashing it as always
Good idea, and epic painting. Dont stop to make videos 💪
I really loved how the base looks at the end. You did a great job of all those cobble stones.
I would enjoy seeing you paint the characters.
A. 🙂
Thanks! I will eventually!
@@DanaHowl I would enjoy that 🙂
I've been carving bricks for the last few days lol, I chose to stack some of the bricks together to add to the variety as well as carving actual cracks into them as well... giving them some character. The tips of my fingers are sore lol holding all those bricks but I found they turn out better looking, at least in my opinion, if they're cut before they're glued to the base... although it does take more time.
after finally starting to build my cursed city set, I come back to this video :)
Now these are brilliant 👍
Lovely work!
They look magnificent, especially like the variety of colors. Been making some cobblestone bases for mordheim recently; just milliput shaped with a sculpting tool. Faster, safer, and requires a lot less finesse with a knife. Just a different option; your way makes it much easier to have nice jagged bits and straight lines.
Funny how you put out this video right after I had done the same! I however used a pair of scissors to cut out the stones and rounded the corners with a piece of sandpaper taped to the table to save time. :)
The music for this one was super good
Yessss the OPR sponsorship!!! Such a good system XD
Thank you for the info. Also I love those hobby knives. Most comfortable ones I've ever owned
Excellent guide! I really want to try this with the remainder of my cursed city models!
This looks great!
A very cheap alternative to green stuff etc. is DAS mixed with glue. 500g costs next to nothing and was enough to base almost my entire sisters army with the Green Stuff World temple roll.
I also used the plasticcard. You really should bevel the edges, looks so much better.
Nice Dana, thanks!
Thank you for color idea. I would not think to add black templar contrast to the color!
Also, I greatly enjoyed the story time with painting. There's only so many times you can talk through painting steps without being bored of it yourself. Whether it is official lore or your own story - I would absolutely love to watch videos like that.
(I love how Baldemort does it. His ongoing stories make me listen even to bits of lore I would not be interested in otherwise)
wow. it turned out great!
Perfect timing! I just found out my LGS still has a copy of Cursed City and was wondering earlier how to base them!
This is such a nice result! I ordered the poppy flowers and mossy tufts from Luke's shop on your recommendation :) I'm going to try the same process you showed but using assorted doll house roof tiles I found on ebay to save time.
I don't have cursed city but I will definitely use this for my nighthaunt characters. Thank you!
Very cool Dana, cheers :)
awesome video! can't wait to see how you paint up this box in your style. Also, one page rules has great game systems so even without a 3d printer, their site is great to check out.
These are quite gorgeous
Good video Miss Dana! U videos is always very good fun and funny sometimes too 🥰🐶🥰
You put out some of the best army builder content.
Lovely video!
If you don’t have plasticard you can use old hotel plastic key cards as the same thing. Make sure it’s the matte not smooth shiny card but I think that would work too you would just have to sand it.
I was wondering how you were going to deal with the stone not being level on the base. But I see if you are putting them on after the model is on the base, that makes sense and you don’t need them to be flat.
Yup!!!
I don’t play these games, but like watching your videos! You’re very pretty and I can use your techniques for other diorama ideas I have !
10:17 That smile until the cut made me smile as well haha
Very nice Dana! I usually use thick card board to do roughly the same but this cannot be modified that well once glued to the base. So looks like I have to give your option a try. I'll just be more forgiving with the colors though! :D
Nice technique. I was trying to figure out how to use the flagstone roller with the slots bases that most of the bad guys use. While time-consuming, this looks like it’ll give a more consistent result.
This was my thoughts exactly, rollers don’t work well with the slotta bases
Thanx Dana!
Great video, thank you! What are you using for your basing paste?
i was thinking of trying to do a base like this myself, so i really appreciatte having a look at your amazing piece. Also the glaze you made is amazing, totally not jealous i don't have the paints to recreate it. But i think i could do something cool nonetheless with extrememly thinned down acrylics + very small and precise applications of a glossy barnish with a brush for the wet look.
I made these bases some time ago, only I employed plastic glue for the bricks and White glue for the sand/grass, but your is amazing good
also I didnt knew Glaciære, thx for that, always on the hunt for good vaporwave :D
Here for the premiere!
