    Basing our miniatures is always the last thing we think about when painting minis. It's not as shiny and cool as figuring out our miniature's color scheme and seems to take forever when we expand it to an entire army. Well Phil, the Glacial Geek, is here with 6 easy to do basing schemes to get your models on the table top fast and looking great!

    Ooh, another tip...after tyour drybrush on the concrete base, you can use Military Shader to give it a mossy, moldy effect.

    That was exactly what I was searching for !
    I looked about how to base miniatures because 90% of my armies are not based and they are not great display minitures. Most of the videos are about colour theory, specific technics for awesome base for an awesome fig, but I just wanted basic ideas to batch paint bases, and that what you gave us. Thank you for that !

    How do you then secure the figure to the base if you do the base first? Pins?

    • @TheGlacialGeek
      @TheGlacialGeek  ปีที่แล้ว

      A lot of these are light enough that you shouldn't have to worry much with just some super glue on the feet (especially with models with bigger footprints like Space Marines). If you find they have trouble staying connected then a simple pin with a bit of paperclip should do wonders

  • @magnus0017

    You could have done "it's all about that base, bout that base, no tenor."
    Also as someone who hates bases (love me some clear flight stands) still think what you all can do with them is awesome.

  • @Tdwise
    @Tdwise 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How do you go about gluing your model on the base after the whole process? Just superglue? Isn't it too brittle? Great video in any case.

    • @TheGlacialGeek
      @TheGlacialGeek  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I usually find just super glue works well enough for most models. Some can be a bit heavier or have smaller "foot" surfaces that come in contact with the base, and for those I will pin them through the base 🙂

  • @bradleymoore6293

    Generally how long does the Battlefield snow/paint mix take to dry? (One super fan itching to dry brush his bases 🙊)

    • @TheGlacialGeek
      @TheGlacialGeek  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not super long ... It's essentially a thick coat of paint that needs to dry (don't tell Duncan 😏) ... But I have DEFINITELY tried dry brushing too soon (basically the first one each time I do it 😛) so I know the pain of waiting

    • @TheGlacialGeek
      @TheGlacialGeek  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You can or you can put the basing material around the feet of the model ... The second option does require you to be a bit more careful with the application and painting and it requires you to maneuver around the model, but it can place your model more in the scene the base creates!

    I always thought the pva glue would stick better without a primed base ? I have done it both ways and so far I have not had a problem. However your not the first person to say that so I think il do it your way just to be safe.
