Basing Guide: Jungle Bases

[@lukepoplawski3230]

Hopefully these or your new dark forest wetland will be available for purchase as your next magnet ready base. I always think to myself “oh I can make those no problem!” But truth is I just have the time to paint my bases to a standard I paint my minis, it will literally double the length of hobby time I need to make armies.

[@Theslannwiththeplann]

Woohoo!!! I always love a jungle base AND some Seraphon!! Awesome tutorial!!

[@JuuzouXIII]

I LOVE the bright moss you did on the rock and the log, such a simple but great looking touch!!!

[@lusbox4724]

Brilliant guide, just starting a new Seraphon army and wanted to add a bit more flair to my bases, def gonna pick some of this stuff up!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Been collecting sticks today. I live in an area with a lot of trees, so have been finding loads on the ground. Very much looking forward to trying out some Jungle bases. I got some of your laser plants for my more alien style bases, and very impressed with the product. I have been using your tufts for a while now, but this is my first time using laser plants.

[@adeofbass]

Wonderful. I've some WW2 Far East troops to paint later this month and I'll 100% use this as a reference for some stunning bases.

[@beebeebees]

Great video, i will definitely be giving your store a look!

[@1987Mystery]

Awesome Basing, can't wait to try it myself!

[@bradlees5997]

The music for this video is so hype haha

[@RoosterRC]

THE best jungle bases ever!

[@bradlees5997]

Amazing bases

[@mojake2k7]

Could you do swamp bases next? I'd love to base the new Seraphon in a swamp that looks as good as these jungles!

[@GamersGrass]

Hello Jake! Thank you very much for your suggestion! We will be sure to add a swamp theme to the list of upcoming basing guides! Happy Hobbying!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

@@GamersGrass yes, swamp please.

Superb! Multo obrigado!!

This is great!

[@BM4Dayz69]

epic! what are those yellowish paste in 0:58?

[@GamersGrass]

Hello Nicholas! Thank you for your comment! The first paste we use (to add height variations to the ground) is a simple mixture of putty (wall repair paste), PVA glue, and sand/rock dust.

This is awesome. What is the first, orange-colored, thick paste used?

@@GamersGrass Would you have a product you'd recommend for people who don't want to make their own?

[@danielheald1607]

​@Ian Stokes I'd use miliput or greenstuff is pretty useful I made some out of sawdust and pva

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Your Jungle base is gorgeous. I'm wondering where do you source the branches you use for tree on your bases, please? I think I'm going to be doing some Saim Hann, Eldar soon (the Red ones) and they'd look amazing in an alien Jungle (all the greens against the red armour will pop like crazy)

[@GamersGrass]

Hi! Thanks! We find the branches outdoors, selecting the dry ones scattered around. In this case we picked up some dry (dead) heather branches.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

@@GamersGrass this is what I've been doing, too. I have a few small trees on my property as well, so have an endless supply I guess. Just need to wait till they need trimmed. I've been picking up dead ones from elsewhere though... they're everywhere.

[@tombrand236]

Amazing

[@Ferean]

cool

Where'd you get the tub ofntiny twigs

[@saveriogwyn5112]

I would love to see a swap base in the style of yoda’s planet from star wars

[@GamersGrass]

Hi! Thank you for your suggestion! We will add to the list of ideas!

[@jakebandaruk9394]

What is that brown paste you start using at 1:00?

[@GamersGrass]

Hello! Thank you so much for your comment! That paste we used to create height is mixture of putty with some rock dust and PVA glue. But the mixture ratio is not important, you can really just use putty and achieve the same effect :)

[@Kaletiel]

🤩awesome do the tufts and laser plants need glue or are these self-adhesive?

[@GamersGrass]

Hi! Thank you for reaching out! The grass tufts already have an adhesive glue, but if you would like a more solid fix you can use a bit of PVA glue. For the laser plants we recommend using super glue (cyanoacrylate). You can check our tutorials on how to bend them and glue them here in youtube :) Happy Hobbying!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

where did you use the tiny moss, tufts please? I bought the tufts and laser plants to take some inspiration from these bases. I'm adding in Eldar ruins as well though. Did you guys maybe mean the regular moss tufts? I just can't see the mini tufts on the pictures anywhere. EDIT: Ok, I watched again, they're used at the edges. I just thought maybe they were used on the rocks or trees or something, similar to the beige ones on the alien forest video.

[@justinbentley1026]

These look great. After doing all of the work, do you need to varnish or seal the bases to make sure they stay looking great and do you need to pin the models on to make sure they stay on the base?

[@GamersGrass]

Hello! Thank you for the question! We normally don't feel the need to seal the bases afterwards but if you want to there's no problem. About the pin it depends on the models you're using, if you feel like it needs a pin to stay in place you can add it, if not the super glue it's fine.

[@impNkS]

Hey whats the exact name of the pigments youve used ... its says raw sienna but there isnt a product that has this exact name that i can find online... are you sure this is the correct one youve listed for us ? :)

[@GamersGrass]

Hi! Thanks for your comment! The dry pigment exact name is indeed Raw Sienna from the brand "Sennelier" :)

[@Spawnico80]

Cool👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Peanutz75]

Litterally flabbergasted. This looks absolutely awesome. I thought this brand was selling pot to lol players.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

any particular reason why you painted the rocks pink first?

[@GamersGrass]

Hi! Thanks for the question! We chose a mix of brown-pinkish tones for the rocks because we aimed for them to have a red tone. It gives a very natural look to the rocks, and, in this case, red also creates a very harmonious and pleasing contrast with the green from the jungle vegetation. We chose to paint the main colors first (both the rocks and the branches) because this way we can apply the wash to every tone in just one step :) Happy Creations!

[@D00M3R-SK8]

@@GamersGrass Thanks.

[@Asianlolita]

Naturally I find these videos after I already have my armies on craptastically boring bases

[@ballsinurmouth-2]

Yup same. Slapped some texture paint on the bottom and a grass thingy and called it a day

[@WardenOfTerra]

That looks nothing like a jungle lol

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Out of curiosity how many jungles have you been in?

[@BigMadGasDad]

Get your eyes checked.
