How To Create Urban Rubble Bases

These will be perfect for a genestealer cults army

I agree, the urban style basing works really well for GSC

[@CyberDagger003]

@@PeteTheWargamer And for Imperial Fists. I was looking for a generalist and versatile chapter to play, one that I could field in different ways, and I considered going with Imperial Fists. If I had, I definitely would've based them in urban rubble. I ended up going with Ultramarines (the blue and gold speaks to me, and I'm a sucker for Roman stuff), and I'm actually having trouble choosing the right basing scheme.

After binge watching your videos, you've inspired me to get back into the hobby after 20+ years. Thanks for the excellent content :D

[@axcel9128]

Same here this guy is great

[@vonplackus527]

mutilators would be great. they look awful as of present. great stuff!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Oh god yeh, they are pretty terrible.

[@Wallahoo1]

Do more imperial guard conversions

[@PeteTheWargamer]

More to come!

[@____________838]

Yes please!

[@MrStatistx]

That does it, I'll buy hull red today. I've seen this so much in several videos lately!

[@GoingOffTopical]

I'd love to see you do a scratch build, I've been watching a guy called Bill making stuff make like robots and terrain out of any old bits, I think it'd be interesting to just see what you can do with no themes or styles to stick to, just complete creative freedom

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Yeh I would like to do a bit more scratch building. I think they work well for things like the Live Streams where I can show the process more fully.

[@a.wilson4809]

In the process of basing my first models in 14 years (a load of poxwalkers) and have been hacking away at sprue and playing around with texture paint to try and make urban rubble bases. This has been a real help, some great ideas for the more significant models in the future. As an aside, incase you copy and paste to future descriptions, you have an extra "conversion equipment" above your recording equipment in the description. Great video, thanks for the tips.

[@vaniellys]

Thank you ! I have been looking for urban bases for my next army !

[@PeteTheWargamer]

You're welcome!

[@shanesarver2072]

An "alien world" basing tutorial would be cool

[@michaljanucik6994]

I was just about to make an ostruppen for bolt action thanks

[@Ghost3210]

Rubble made from failed sprue bricks works great and helps to save the good bricks for making small cover terrain.

[@jacobmarsden2193]

Wow, I have loads of Cork and never thought to make bricks out of it. Thank you very much for the tutorial. I'll sub for more 😊

Thanks for subscribing!

DEAD ANIMAL BITS!!!!! We need to meke a compilation of pete saying dead [insert beeing] things!

[@craigayork8617]

Really great basing and really useful tips as usual. I might actually use them for my loyalist sons of Horus Kill Team. It would be interesting to see more unique specific bases. Like for example say a Hive city sewers, a Necron Tomb Complex, the interior of a Tyranid Hive ship or perhaps a base where a model is partially submerged in water. I’ve been wanting to try that last one for a while myself but have never been able to figure out how exactly to pull it off, especially with the slanted edges of 40k bases.

[@____________838]

You mean Luna Wolves?

[@markhohenbrink5230]

Could cut leftover sprue be used instead of cork, it would be smoother but the rubble would appear more man made. It seems like a great way to get rid of all of my leftover sprues as well.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Sprue is a good alternative, it's a little harder to cut into smaller sections but it is possible

[@bluenine85]

Fantastic video, made me rethink the way I've been using cork

[@lowlygrinder2977]

I use bluestuff to make molds of parts of scenery, that way I don't have to destroy any for bases.

[@taxidriverxdscp4242]

Thank you man this helped me so much 🙏

[@pivotmaster4394]

the bases look awesome thanks for the tutorial

[@PeteTheWargamer]

No problem!

[@SunChaserXVII]

Very cool! I like that dust effect. Also, I use cork tile to make rocks on a lot of bases, but I'd never tried cutting into bricks like this for rubble... looking forward to trying this next time I base up a 40k miniature.

[@TheSlamburger]

Hey Pete? Maybe that Kill Team of yours is hunting someone. Say, a newly upgraded Primaris Cypher?

[@____________838]

Why would they hunt a Loyal servant of the Emperor?

[@theministryofminiatures]

Amazing! Where did you buy your cork tiles from? Wanted to check depth... 3mm, 4mm?

[@thisischris898]

Your videos are just full of inspiration, makes me want to start mofelling again

[@zm1939]

Will follow these for my Goffs and IG. Thanks!

You're welcome!

[@TheRendar]

awesome video. love it! can you do a jungle base tutorial soon? keep up they awesome videos.

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Nice idea! I'll keep it in mind

[@____________838]

Nice and loamy and black. With gnarled grey or rhinox hide roots, with fern and moss and stuff?

[@socalastarte6727]

Those bases look amazing. Thanks for the content!

[@VaftrudnerKGA]

Would love a Trazin the infinite conversion.

[@boutinpowered8373]

Boarding Patrol update! :)

[@vampireslayera]

how thick are the cork tiles?

[@Prophetofthe8thLegion]

This is great, im building a night lords army and I want their bases to give off the theme of a blasted out hive city, imagine the murderous brothers of the 8th legion stalking mortals through the ruins of a dying city.

[@wargamesgeek1334]

These are great, I’ll be giving this a try 👍

[@josiannegravel8615]

Very nice tips . Thanks

[@sean.darkterritory]

Great video, thank you!

[@MrStatistx]

Not sure how widely available they are, but for bricks I just got 1 package of juwela bricks. They seem to be a company that makes wargame scenery pieces. Was cheap and is a lot of bricks

[@antonjonsson424]

I use this tutorial for my army

[@ДмитрийЛеонов-э7и]

What about a polystyrol sheet?

[@ShowGn0m3rcy]

Awesome. I'm doing rubble bases for my IW's. What sprue did you pull rubble from that you cut with the saw. Trying to find something similar to use? Great tutorial by the way

[@iainthepict55]

Was just debating with myself wether my soviets needed rubble of berlin bases?,i believe they do!☺

[@____________838]

Nah man. Stalingrad rubble bases.

[@justinsong7279]

I’m sorry this might be a dumb question but how do you attach the models to a finished base? Super glue??

[@bellsknell3297]

Have you though about doing a tutorial for graveyard bases?

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Nice idea!

[@GoingOffTopical]

Not a basing suggestion but you should do a little tips and tricks video of stuff you've found or do that isn't common knowledge, bit like miniature hobbyist's uses of sprues videos

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Nice idea, I generally find ways to include most of my learned tricks in my guides but I'm sure that there are a few things I haven't covered yet.

[@petemalysewich6845]

cant find vallejo texture paints anywhere.. all my local hobby shops that would carry it are sold out. I guess the closest GW equivalent is Stirland Battlemire?

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Yep, that works just as well. It's just a little more expensive is all.
