[@cole445]

Vaseline on the rollers, guys - it works wonders. For the bases, of course.

[@BlueRonin44]

Oh! The bases. Brb...

[@JesseRiley]

And don't forget to use the latex gloves too. Safety first.

[@pendularnuncius2618]

not for internal use, no flared base

[@40emperor10]

@@pendularnuncius2618 wise words.

[@SchafferSaurus]

Textured for pleasu- *EHEM* basing.

[@Markovian_]

Thanks for showing water piece. I like seeing that not everyone is perfect.

[@RyanHipp]

@Josue Santino and @Turner Wells, For a couple of ScamBots, you both have serious trust / boundary issues.

[@greenhowze]

Unfortunately, It looked like a bunch of dirty sea men swam in that water ;)

[@fozzyami]

Can recommend using UV set clear resin for water effects on bases.

[@jsizzlesaurusrex]

And tiny glass beads for nail art for bubbles!

[@tolkienrocks]

One of the best of these “basing videos” that I’ve seen so far. Fantastic tips on rolling, great simple base ideas that are replicable across large or small armies!

[@socalastarte6727]

40K vet and I somehow just stumbled across your channel. Watched a couple minutes of this video and subscribed immediately. Your hobby skills achieve such high quality results and look like they are pretty simple to pull off. Thanks for the tips!

[@aganej2]

Hooray! Loving the journey through Indomitus!

[@nicholainissen]

"Kill two necrons with one 40k analogy" has my sides splitting

[@scottcomber]

Always happy to see another Dana video in my feed.

[@Vesdus]

Oh! I love the budget base idea. Thank you so much!

[@ianhorst]

Thank you Dana! After constant disappointment using these rollers, using your method has worked really well. I just made a dozen Cthulhu bases with Brown Stuff. It works so much better than Green Stuff for bases. 🥳

[@DanaHowl]

Amazing!!! Glad it worked out for you!!!

[@speeeddemon]

This is baseing in its glory. Simple, time efficient and Dana touch on everything. Keep the brushes wet and we catch you next week. 🤙🖌🎨

[@5thterrax]

As someone that struggles with easy basing ideas I super appreciate videos like this. Thanks a ton Dana!

[@marcush4741]

Honestly, your videos are my favorite painting videos. I love your aesthetic (I love neon and vibrant colors in a modern painting scheme!), I love that you cover a ton of topics, and I love that you're getting into 40k right around the time I am. I have no idea why I wasn't subscribed before today, but I am now! Thank you for being an educational, non-toxic person in the painting community. I don't even really like the game of 40k, I just like painting! In a Covid world, it's really great to find people who are willing to spend their time teaching us their techniques! Thank you. I really enjoy your videos.

[@apeman505]

Wow, this video was so helpful, thanks so much!

[@ErnestodelValle]

Top quality content, inspiring ideas, good edition, and LOTS of talent. Great job Dana, and you are so classy 👏👏👏

[@C0d3turtle]

Also really liking those necron colors. Can't wait to see what you have for the rest of models!

I'm glad you playing with your sister, it's so nice. Great video and experiments, thank you for these small base-stories.

[@NathanLazyBear]

This was such an in depth video and you did a really great job explaining everything. Thanks a bunch for sharing your basing secrets. 🎈

[@drakken6666]

Thank you for making this video. One of my friends in my LGS group shared this as im looking to getting into basing. Great video love the rollers and techniques would love more videos.

[@TheGoodMood]

Awesome video! Some great tips here that I didn't know. I've got some of these rollers so very happy about learning from you!

[@LiluDallasMultipas]

I really love the grungey oil slick base you did for the Necrons.

[@viterbonutarelli7218]

Very very good ideas for bases, tanks Dana

[@helmutlvx]

Bought some brown stuff and textured rolling pins after watching this video. Did some test pieces and followed your tips and it turned out amazing. Thanks, Dana!

[@ClayMann]

Your videos are so good. I mean everything from the final result to the video editing. Love it! I get this vibe that you're having a ball and I find that is missing in too many videos teaching things. I find that really inspiring and it makes me want to dive right in. Cheers!

[@ataraxiapainting]

I love making bases like these 😁 thanks for the tutorial!

[@BurningTear1993]

Really helpful, as allways! And I really love the editing (and the music selection)

[@TheEndernator]

Greatly informative! Thank you for the help with my basing

[@heinrichkleyn6344]

Thank you for the walkthrough making the base look nice it is worth the extra time and effort especially when they turn out so cool

[@arx1381]

Great vid. I am going to look at getting some of these rollers soon. I loved the Tron base and some of the stacked ones. That water texture was interesting to see. I have never tried one before.

[@louise.4748]

Applied ur tips and worked out great thx!

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

Thanks for this video, I haven't cracked into my indomitus box yet and forgot that I actually have that necron roller! Can't wait to try it!! Love the bases!

Your videos are very helpful! Thank you!

[@Whorabl3]

Well done, Dana.

[@joshyaks]

I've only just started to dip my toes into basing, so I found this video fascinating! Thanks for sharing your great techniques!

[@awesome1lunger441]

Huh, usually its the models that get their toes in

[@joshyaks]

@@awesome1lunger441 LOL! I guess I might find it a lot easier if I were to use my fingers instead!

[@xensoldier]

Great ideas, thank you!

[@cordial001]

This has given me some ideas Time will tell if those ideas were good. Awesome video. Thank you

[@mtlslg666]

Thank you so much Dana, your tutorial came just in time for my sisters of battle bases 👌

[@MentoliptusBanko]

I love those rolling pins! Rock n' Roll Baby!

[@techadeptcrafts]

Great work! Haven’t tried brown stuff, but will now. Going to try the wet technique on my 3D printed rollers. Also going to try that layering technique - very cool.

[@discounthero9972]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen come out of this hobby.

[@SDWife]

These look brilliant.

Love the video. Thanks for the suggestion, I got the temple pin for basing and rebasing all my Sisters of Battle.

[@louisemaidment8270]

I love your humour so much!! Keep it up :)

[@douglaskmeyer]

Awesome video. The easy to build Stormcast bases is the exact reason I bought the GSW flagstone roller a year ago.

[@RichardHaywardMelbourne]

This is great preparation for me! Just picked up my first roller, and now I know how to use it.

[@nicopinguet]

Awesome! Thx a lot for that work

[@VAB0L0]

Great content and general vibe, the results you get from those industrial rollers make me want to start a small Necromunda gang!

[@franticxaif8915]

You fit so much in one video. Thanks, this was very helpful!

[@HoboMeow]

Thank you! I love the tips

[@sjshapir]

Always love to watch your videos. They are well organized and interesting. (Even if I don’t paint miniatures. )

[@williansnobre]

Really liked the explanation on how to get the different material looks.

[@jeffcrumbley2802]

Very cool. Thanks for the video!

[@taraking9514]

Thank you so much for the tips! They worked like a charm 😁

[@taraking9514]

[@foulplay99]

Thanks for this! My Greenstuff World supplies arrived today and gonna base The Silent King necron model, cant wait to see how it turns out!

[@Mechanicoid]

I've been using foam, landscaping materials and putty for bases, but all of the techniques look far more efficient. They look especially good for maintaining a theme for a group of miniatures. Nicely done.

[@nedeleavitt]

All my Ultramarines are based using a GSW roller for an "urban rubble" scheme. Lot's of new tips and ideas for me here, great video. Especially need to try the corn starch.

[@vl-s1716]

Not only are your videos incredibly helpful and well edited, your work area is so chic, functional, and fabulous looking. That internal glow tho

[@ChampionofTerra]

Fantastic tutorial, I just shared it with my local community, to help out newer members, and older ones, that might be having trouble thinking of some bases ideas for their armies )

[@QUIRISS]

Great video! Tron base is my favorite 👍

[@WWQuicksilver]

Great vid! Thanks for sharing.

[@Dmitry_Solid]

Very unusual and interesting databases, thank you for the video👍👍👍

[@HesteBremse]

Nice video, inspirational and doable - thank you 👍

[@patpaints9813]

Perfect timing! I just received my order from GSW and wasn't entirely sure where to start with the rollers - guess I need to place another order for some brown stuff (BUY NOW 😆) thanks for the tips and ideas! For the shallow water effect, a trick I recall from a looong time ago was to simply paint on a few thin layers of PVA glue - it creates a bit of depth, and dries glossy but clear so you can still see the colour underneath.

[@joshuacriswell5032]

Hi Dana! I just wanted to say that I think this might be your best video yet! Also, congrats on taking the leap into full time KZbinr! Love the dry humor and great info!

[@Sumanye]

I think the water base is really cool!

[@ArreGurrasorre]

Great video, easy subscription!

[@cannon0wood]

Thank you keep up the good work

[@azzTwild]

That Necron warrior looks sick!

[@kendo5862]

That ice effect looks great

[@indrafides2648]

Picked up the little rings to go on each end of the rolling pin so the pressure i roll with is consistanct. Was really pleased with my results so far. Going to keep working on more tonight

[@universeturtle]

great tips thanks alot!

[@jasonmed2119]

Very cool and informative video
