I appreciate that you’re sculpting your bases, it’s the hard mode way to base but I dig the result (and that you have loads of control over it, as compared to more random flocking methods). I did find when I sculpted bases that I either got some warping of the MDF (when I used to use thinner MDF) or the sculpey itself would shrink a bit, leaving cracks at the sides in particular ![]()
Using plasticard and cork sheeting, with tile grout over the top (which dries with a little bit of flex in it, unlike regular filler).
The clear pva is doing the type of job i wanted for the water effect, without being too fiddly - unlike 2 part resin or pricier options such as woodland scenics.
Mock up of Dambuster sentinel and Dambuster arbalest conversions (aka I’m trying to squeeze a horde, a reg, the hero and the bolt thrower out of 6 frogs and spares!).
My wyrmrider horde is one big crab too, so count me a fan ![]()
Keep up the great progress, army is looking very full!
Next lot of basing underway (dambuster horde/reg/hero/arbalest, naiad heartpiercer reg/troop, riverguard reg).
Following the revamp (at long last!) of the mantic point scheme, one of the new models is a rather nice 3d print thuul aquamage. Even though large amounts of my armies aren’t mantic, as I do have a rather mental amount of them, I do have lots of mantic points ![]()
The pvc knucker originally from LoI/Dungeon Saga(?) Is nice so one of those and a couple of freebie mages (I’ll convert one of them) will be joining the fun.
In the next phase of the “let’s see what sort of weird sh*te I can make work in this army” plan, I’d been browsing for thuul models.
The mantic ones are quite cute, but 10 for £22.50 rrp isn’t! They are available 3d print and local gaming place is a licensed printer - but the larger models are definitely better value than getting lots of infantry that way.
So browsing for things with a potential swamp vibe, halfling sized and de3 looking I’ve plumped for Hobbit goblins. Think they’ll fit pretty well with the troll depth horrors, which are the other deep one keyword unit in the list.
