  • @AquamentusZero
    @AquamentusZero 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I usually apply a coat of watered down PVA glue on top of sand, too. That way the sand gets sealed and won't brush off easily when painting it. Of course, this also means you'll need more dyring time.

  • @dmwaters
    @dmwaters 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This was a great tutorial. My main comments having tried it out would be: (i) the base wasn't as saturated as I expected (looked more like a damp iron rich soil that a dry arid landscape) and (ii) the pva I used to hold down the sand kept reactivating (exposing the base beneath). I solved the first problem by applying a vibrant watered-down red-orange contrast paint liberally over the base until the it really popped (in my case I used Nuclear Sunrise from Army Painters' speed paints). For the latter, I would recommend a second prime to properly adhere the sand to the base

    @Flight_of_Icarus 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The lore for my Skitarii is that their actual forge world is an ocean planet, with densely packed underwater forge cities reminiscent of Rapture from Bioshock. The planet itself, however, is protected by its fortified moon where most of the Skitarii and even Titan Legions are based, with only specialist amphibious forces planetside. So I've been wondering about doing lunar bases for my first, normal Skitarii and their equipment, and I've been looking for ideas/tutorials.
    Though I could just follow the Martian tutorial and paint it grey, it seems a little boring that way. Once I've got some experience under my belt and some more material, I plan to come back and kitbash proper underwater Skitarii for planetside forces.

If you are going to be gaming a lot and need to bind the pigment there are a few brands that sell pigment binder. I've used Vallejo Pigment Binder. it's okay. I would like to try Pigment Fixer Enamel Fluid by AK interactive or Mig Pigment Fixer. I think they may work better as they are enamel / solvent based and run into cracks, flow well. I would wear a mask or use in well ventilated area if using enamels. Cheers!

    One question, probably stupid but, you said that after undercoating I'd have to do my miniature next but... what does prevent me from painting the miniature without a base and finishing the paint of the base first before then as the final step gluing the finished miniature onto the finished base? I would imagine it would be easier to reach everywhere this way

    • @DuncanRhodesDRPA
      @DuncanRhodesDRPA  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Sergey. For the video tutorial, we don't put a miniature on the base so you can clearly see what we are doing and the miniature doesn't obstruct your view. Generally, we assemble the miniature on the base and then undercoat it as one. Once the miniature as been painted, we do the base. We like to glue items like rocks or skulls on first and then we add PVA glue carefully, dip it in sand and shake off the access and then add whatever colours we want to the base 😊

    Very nice to see how you managed to do this base. Is there a trick for making the crackle paint to stick on the base when drybrushing? It sometimes flakes off when I try it, so I have stopped using them for now. Don't feel I am very hard with my brushes either.

      Hi Erik. It could be that the dry brush you are using has stiff bristles. We haven't encountered this problem ourselves...yet lol

    It's not mentioned, but did you varnish the base between any of the stages? Its been my experience that if you don't varnish (after the crackle paint is dried), then there is a strong risk of chipping once you start drybrushing.

    How would attach the miniature to the base now, just super glue?

    • @DuncanRhodesDRPA

      Normally we would build the base around the miniature but for the sake of clarity, we show the base with out the miniature so it's more clear for the viewer 😊

      I've used a tiny glob of hot glue to stick minis to already painted bases. Its worked pretty well for me on most terrain types.
      I've also done a few "dynamic bases", where a foot is splashing in mud, or loose gravel is being displaced by a running mini.

    Thanks for this great tutorial! One question: after applying Reikland Fleshshade my whole earthy surface becomes very glossy, looking unnatural...applying a matte varnish doesn't bring back the matte dusty look and feel of the ground.. :(

    • @DuncanRhodesDRPA
      @DuncanRhodesDRPA  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately, some of the new Citadel Shades dry with a gloss finish which is not ideal. Have you tried using an Ultra matte varnish like the one from AK Interactive?

      @@DuncanRhodesDRPA Unfortunately I don't have it at hand but I'll try to get some and test it. Meanwhile I've solved my problem with adding some orange/brown pigment powder of Vallejo, bringing back the dustiness but also slightly brighten up the red ground a bit...works for me :)

      @@Outrage82 I drop some airbrush thinner into the base. But since the thinner makes the pigments a little bit darker, when it dries I apply a second coat of pigments again on top of it.
      As the thinner becomes sticky when it dries, the second layer of pigments does not fall

    I see many top painters use a wet palette. I'm just curious why you don't?

      @r.a.fgattaiguy845 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      wet palettes are great if you paint regularly, but if you use many different colours or do short sessions every now and then using a wet palette is pretty pointless
