Worth noting that you can make crystals by carving sprue from your models. It's free, and very quick & easy

[@argylealligator]

Pete's background music always calms my soul.

[@arturmical]

My own recipe for crystals is to take a glue stick, the one you use in hot glue gun and to sheve it off into shapes you need and then tint them with a watered down wash of your chosen colors. Did wodnerfully on my necron bases.

[@DeanxPeaceMaker]

"The beautiful glow....." Hey bois what we thinking about that base, red zone or yellow zone?

[@sagacity1071]

hell yea! Crystals! Time to cover my Command and Conquer bases!

[@DeanxPeaceMaker]

Kristofer Constantino I like you for this comment

[@veliuutela1765]

The Tiberium will set us free! One vision one purpose! Very nice. Can you make next dark crusade lord eliphas?

[@degant1239]

PEACE THROUGH POWER! KANE LIVES IN DEATH!

Great, now I want to build a GDI army with tiberium crystals underfoot.

Henry Sackett I don't know you but I like you

KANE LIVES

[@Drakio95]

Damn these are instantly screaming Necrons and TIBERIUM at me :D Great work :)

[@degant1239]

IN THE NAME OF KANE

[@giafran0231]

@@degant1239 thats a nice idea for a crossover chapter

[@Dogmelter42]

This reminds me so much of CnC. I might do this if I ever make another set of chaos cultists or Cadian guard. Give them both a Brotherhood of Nod vs. GDI color scheme.

[@aidencrawford9704]

They have 3D printing stl's for tiberium online.

[@rngrtt3689]

A good alternative is sprues. Shave off the nibbly nobbly bitz and scultp the crystals

[@fenrirsrage4609]

Not going to lie these crystals remind me a lot of Command and Conquer's Tiberium. I have a feeling C&C fans who do models could definitely put this to good use.

[@loltwest9423]

Kantor be walking over a Tombworld. No seriously this base would be perfect for a Necron army.

[@rowdyzack5914]

Tombworld? That's a funny way to spell "Mechanicus Property", heretic.

[@loltwest9423]

@@rowdyzack5914 Not yet. Why do you think Kantor's walking over it? The Crimson Fists are in the process of making this Mechanicus Property.

[@NicolasCageWishesHeWereMe]

I love your videos. I'm getting into warhammer right now and everything you do is very useful. Thank you.

[@Parthunax]

You uploaded as requested! Thank you very much! It is a very cool effect indeed and i was brainstorming ways to make it.

[@astrozombiac3535]

Watching this made me realize something. I could sit and listen to you read a phonebook. Wait...do those still exist? How about the Z section of an encyclopedia?

[@Skinofgod]

That came out really well, bravo. Was good to see the process.

[@obviouslyninnus]

Very nice Tiberium base, lol :p

[@euansmith3699]

"... the hard edges on the crystal tips..." That took me back to my childhood; groaning when "Crystal Tipps and Alistair" used to come on children's TV. That's a cool base. Maybe some gloss varnish on the crystals would add some more pop?

[@simonmears4073]

Great base, so effective. Glad you did a video on it.

[@JohnL-ee3up]

Awesome!!! Thanks!! Will definitely be trying this out!

[@minimishapsgames894]

I love this, thanks for the sweet vid. I'm going to have to try this with one my upcoming bases.

[@angylizard9344]

Thanks for doing a base tutorial I have always wanted to know how to do good bases

[@Arjac1312]

Some epic ice/snow bases would be awesome. Great work as usual sir. Going to have to check out AK's greens

[@kyleharvey9072]

My Wolves need a base, as do my Frozen Deathworld Necrons

[@wonderboy2402]

Well done.

[@14DEADSOUL]

Hey, could we not make our own crystals from empty sprue frames? Cut out a cuboid shape and a few more snips to make a crystal shape?

[@Skeebarr]

I've done this in the past. Clip out a good shape then use a file or a blade to clean up each face of the crystal and make them nice and smooth.

[@adriant1654]

My next base!

[@ItsMrDon]

gona try this with a lava base, gona look awsome

[@AHRavnsborg]

Hey Pete this was great. I have a question, I am building an army of space marines in metal armor with accents of blue and I want them to stand on Martian Ironeath and Martian Crust dulled down with Earthshade. Which color would you suggest I make the crystals if I were to replicate this? Light blue, or fiery red? cheers

[@ranger68]

Where's the Black Vipers video? Also this base looks amazing and I'll definitely try to replicate it for my dwarf dnd character.

[@surfacedweller8603]

Hey Pete how much skill does it take to use an air brush. Also is brush or airbrush easier.

[@SlurpeeBoy9999]

You can also carve crystals out of sprue.

[@ashley587]

What kind of varnish did you use? Vallejo matte?

[@TheZeglarz83]

more bases type! please :)

[@prime1collector792]

Warpstone!

[@trevorquick5911]

I would love to see a model for Chaper master Vulkan Tu'shan primaris or no thatd be amazing

[@scottlidstone1902]

Down with GDI!

[@hanscascante7933]

Thunder Warriors PLS

[@photonutter1]

Have seen sprues used to make easy crystals too

[@jacobdriver2151]

Love the video. Though I may consider switching paint brands after what Ak interactive did recently.

[@willwhitehead1573]

I hadn't even heard of that but after reading up on it..... what the hell were they thinking???

[@ecstaticfish9072]

Second. This looks interesting

[@giovanni23048]

mmm that explain why ther cork sometimes get heated lol...

[@danielcrum2551]

Hey that happened to me once! I had a large amount of super glue and cork on a base and some dripped off! It burnt a hole right through my pants!

[@SteamTitan]

Were those medium or small crystals?

[@Sameji]

I just use bits of sprue that I cut up into the shape of crystals lol

[@stephenrhodes8868]

Thats a lot of greens

[@mat4909]

How about some god specific chaos possessed / greater possessed?

[@benjadu2271]

yhei ,now found crystal and destroy all the base muajaj or simply agree one o two crystal xd

[@jgcustomshoes6478]
