How to Make and Paint Lava Bases

[@ryanartward]

I am restoring a Darth Vader figurine from back when I was a little kid, wanted to give him a new base with that Mustafar look. This was the perfect tutorial! Thank you!

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Great stuff :-D thanks

I am assembling an army of Tyranids in the colors of Hive fleet hydra. I intend to make lava bases for them for color theory but also as a cheeky reference to planet Char from Starcraft. This tutorial will come in handy.

Ace, glad it helps 😁

Loving the graduation on this. Thanks for the tip, going to use this to try and do for my large base for Avatar Of Khaine model 🔥🔥🔥👍

What is that type of material called? The card board looking stuff? Is it cardboard? If so what kind? Because that’s definitely not normal cardboard? I reminds me a the type of material you’d find in the bottom or backside of a cheap dresser drawer. I’ve seen others use this material but I can not find it

[@SimplyWarhammer]

It's called corkboard and used for notice boards where you stuck pins in. Found in all good hobby stores, in the UK Hobby Craft is best 👍

How do you go about attaching the model? Thinking about doing this for my terminator bases but didn’t know how to go about it. Just super glue?

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Depends on the weight of the model. For a normal marine, yer super glue. There are stronger epoxy glues too if you really want to push the boat out. This one was for magnus so I pinned him to the base. Some fine metal rod, drilled through the base and into his foot just adds extra security 👍

Hi what do you call the brown felt to build the rocks.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Its cork board, just a hobby supplies tile of it that I break up. Can buy over the internet but easiest is some local hobby place. Like this www.hobbycraft.co.uk/silhouette-cork-sheets-8-pack/640407-1000
