Scenic Bases

Been a while since my last post, been working feverishly on a new army for our next campaign, but more on that later. This post is about custom resin bases. I like scenic bases and i really like for my attack bikes to be on a base, just adds to the look and feel of the army with them on one. So i did some research and found some amazing resin bases that fit attack bikes (and all other sizes) at www.dragonforge.com. Here's what they look like start to finish

As with all resin products, wash them before you apply any paint with hot soapy water and rinse well. I have two bikes in the army and unfortunately they only had one base design for the style i like.

Here are the bases finished.  I went with a Ash wasteland look to my army for their bases.  Start with a mixture of black ballast (gravel) from Woodland Scenics and the small slate pieces from the Warhammer 40k scenic basing kit.  The black ballast is easy to paint as you can just dry brush it or with dark colors a light layer of paint is all that is needed.

 The bases were primed chaos black and then a base coat of Charadon Granite and then dry brushed the gravel only with Adeptus Battlegrey and then Codex gray allowing for the dry brush to hit the edges of the "cracked earth" parts of the bases.  Bone pieces were painted with Deneb Stone and then washed Devlin Mud.  The grass that is used is Citadel's Burnt Grass.

Here are pictures of finished models on the bases, Enjoy!
