Big fan of the scary Slaanesh daemon you painted, any chance you could provide more details as to how you did the ▪Claws ▪Metals ▪Purple Cloth I want to paint some scary Slaangor in a similar style

[@Malisteen]

Great tutorial, thanks! I'd love to see more basing tutorials in this style - winter, ruined city, volcanic, etc.

[@Nove-cento]

Awesome tutorial! Mixing resin and streaking grime is one move I never thought of, thanks!

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Oh the resin and grime mix is very helpful! Inks can also work pretty well!

[@ericlang7408]

Really cool base, I love it! It looks difficult to do without an airbrush to be honest, but thanks for giving a few tips in that direction.

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Thanks Eric, it is do-able without the airbrush but will take you a bit longer and won't be quite so easy to blend. A bit of work with a decent stippling brush will do the trick though!

[@ataraxiapainting]

This is giving me a lot of inspiration!! Thanks!!

[@SprayBlackStudios]

I am glad it has helped! 👍

[@quintu5]

Wonderful tutorial. This will help boost my basing a lot :)

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Thankyou! I'm glad it's helped!

[@FrostandFists]

Awesome basing, my brother!!! I'll definitely tuck this idea away for a future project! 😁 ~ Wolfbrother Methos

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Thanks bud! I'm glad it's given you some ideas!

[@dominicbenson3246]

I’ve always wondered about the UV resin. You make it look pretty straightforward! Think I’ll give it a go

[@SprayBlackStudios]

The UV resin is probably the easiest resin product I've used. I'm not a huge fan of the two part ones although they are considerably cheaper!

[@renaudroyer5390]

Thanks for a great tutorial 👍

[@r1ck5m1th]

This looks awesome dude! Bin looking for a way to spice up my 2nd hand soulblight bases... Just flat black GW texture paint atm... Might dremmel some holes in a do some puddles 👍

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Thanks bud! I'm glad it's given you some ideas, a few of these elements are pretty easy to add in to other schemes 👍

[@Thoadin]

take a look at an art store, sandy paste or crackling paste are often cheaper and without colour

[@TuShan18]

This would be perfect for 30k death guard. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Capitan Black . 🐺

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Thanks as always for watching bud! 👍

[@loupiscanis9449]

@@SprayBlackStudios My pleasure , do more I will watch more ! 😁 🐺

[@Wolfnstone]

It looks awesome man. I just wish I had the patience for it after I spend a week painting something 😅

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Oh bud, half the fun is in the basing!!

[@-nope3030]

Pre-heresy death guard?! Would certainly suit grimdark!

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Yes that would definitely suit the Grimdark style!

[@benjaminmoser6890]

Hey Rich. This is awesome work. What would you recommend if you'd want to make it look "slightly colder". Not exactly snow, just...lightly frosted? I was looking to make a sort of frozen wasteland without all the tacky ice and snow effects commonly seen.

[@SprayBlackStudios]

So firstly I'd change the colour palette and go for more of a subtle blue tone than the green and browns in this one. Then personally I'd throw in a tiny bit of ice and snow just to add some contrast and really make it pop. To be honest, thinking about it I may even do a test base myself!

[@Wolfnstone]

Oooh,yay! Been a while man 😅

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Way too long, that'll all be changing soon though!

[@Wolfnstone]

Thx for the tutorial. I have a question abaut liquitex ink if you have time to answer it. Been using it for a few days (just 4 or 5 times) and i have real trobles whit the ink reactivating whit the next layer of paint. I use vallejo acrilic paints and never had this issue before whit any of em products. Do you have an idea of why the ink could be reactivating? (and i let it dry for abaut an hour some times, the unic diference whit this tutorial is that i aplyed whit brush instead of airbrush)

[@SprayBlackStudios]

Apologies for the delay, this is very interesting! I can't say I have had issues with it reactivating before but due to the fact that it's not particularly hard wearing I have found often that when using washes it's pretty easy to remove it. A coat of Varnish would likely give a decent buffer to protect it.

[@peacetalker69]

@@SprayBlackStudios ty for the advice. I begined a couple of days ago to make a mix on airbrush whit every 4 paint 1 thinner 1 flow 1 mat varnish and that solved all the issue removing the layer of ink latter. So the varnish make sense to me too. Will test it on brush too

[@Annihilator27]

Where did you get cork sheet from?

[@SprayBlackStudios]

I managed to buy a decent quantity on ebay. Normally it's found in model railway stockists 👍
