How to Make Swamp Bases for Miniatures

[@streetfightinmanrs]

I’m happy I found this. The Kruel-boy mini of the month for September 2024 was out of my wheelhouse (I just started with the Kill Team Krieg in August so I’m new to Warhammer 40k). Thanks for the great tutorial!

Those bases are simple yet amazing. I have been wondering how to do the swamp look without buying all clear resins and things. Loved it

Thanks for this video. I was able to easily recreate these bases. Only difference was I used UV resin to make the water areas a bit more pronounced. I shared with my gaming club and another guy is already using the same method for snow bases. The paste from Hugeminis is a bit of a miracle product. Wish I knew about it 5 years ago!

Hello. Very useful and not too complicated ! Perfect for gutrippaz. Could you share the color pattern use for the gutrippaz flesh at the intro ? I really like it as it differs from the usual one. Thanks in advance

Thank you! So do exactly like in this video EXCEPT use Coelia Greenshade for the shade coat (not Gryphcharger Grey). Keep in mind, they've reformulated the shade paints since the video was made and I find the new ones waaaay more transparent so you may need more than one coat.

I fell in love with the Huge Miniatures snow paste last month and am looking forward to trying more of their products.

[@christopherkelly9153]

Very cool video. Thanks for taking the time to create this.

[@hugeminis]

Thank you so much for covering some of our products in the video! Your bases look amazing.

Hey, Huge, can we expect to see a restock on the Dirt soon?

[@Kurorahk]

Tried this today but with using AK's muddy ground and water gel swamp green, the process is the same except for you skip the wash on the land, still paint where the water will be with death world forest, and then put the swamp green water gel down and it looks fantastic. The downside to texture paints is that it is pretty slow drying so do these in large batches of mini's for the sake of each step the first base should be dry by the time you finish the last one. On only six bases it means a lot of downtime waiting for stuff to dry.

[@DarcyBonoCreations]

Putting the wet bases under a cheap little fan can help expedite the drying process exponentially 🙂 www.lowes.com/pd/Comfort-Zone-6-in-Quiet-Portable-Indoor-2-Speed-Desk-Fan-with-Clip-and-Fully-Adjustable-Tilt-in-White/5000885813?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-plb-_-ggl-_-PLA_PLB_171_Air-Circulation-_-5000885813-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=CjwKCAiA3L6PBhBvEiwAINlJ9FdgqT_1-5cMRDh9u5ceM4CU63oRDd8oWUfL_StHVvcAZjukF33dsBoCOlEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Straightforward tutorial and great looking result! Thanks.

[@DeusVult-rg3mq]

Hmm? In all my years in the hobby never have I once thought to us a butter knife to spread pastes and the like..... mind blown...

[@cornmaized]

the timing on this is amazingly perfect, just decided on a swamp base for my tau.

[@drewbakka5265]

Those light blue greenskins look like a fun variation. Might try it for some 40k orkz

[@bakermitchell6209]

This is a very useful video. Great result, with simple, well explained steps. Look forward to more videos. Thanks!

[@taylormajors5677]

Nice job! All of the other videos I saw involved epoxy which doesn't seem very easy to do on an entire army. This is perfect for a troop choice.

[@ysilthandejhin]

Thank you very much for this very well explained and very interesting video.

[@perks734]

Great guide as ever. You really deserve more views!

[@quiffdog1582]

How much was the dirt paste, I would definitely like to get my hands on some of that.

[@DarcyBonoCreations]

It's about $9. I have a 10% off coupon code as well. Just enter REF3VF at checkout: hugeminis.com/product/dirt/

[@mikehawkins346]

This was a great tutorial, the crater you made for the front tuft reminded me of a catfish den in a creek before you put the tuft in. Really a believable base.......😁

[@groglorb8980]

Fantastic work beast-sister!

[@dennisfoulds3941]

Thanks that’s great, very helpful.

[@musicliker1433]

Great stuff!

[@rob9943]

perfect, this was just what I needed!

[@BillsravingrantBlogspot]

Love those bases, and the Dirt Product too. I ordered the bundle from their store! (by the by, the discount code did not work for me, no biggie, just letting you know)

[@DarcyBonoCreations]

Thanks Bill! And thank you as well for letting me know about the code. I think (and I'll double check with HugeMinis), that since the bundles are already at a discount, that coupons may not work with them. I'll be sure to put a disclaimer in the description 🙂. Really appreciate you letting me know!

[@BillsravingrantBlogspot]

@@DarcyBonoCreations Good point, had not thought of that. Double discount thing... I am really liking the 'grungy water' effect on the base. been looking for that effect for a while! Thank you! (as an aside, I'm using a little UV resin and curing it on the spot, looks ... ummm... deeper?)

[@DarcyBonoCreations]

YES! I actually used Vallejo Water effects on some of mine where I built the shoreline up a bit more. I was going to show that as well, but didn't want to add too much to the video length. I should have at least mentioned it though 😅. And thank you

[@tylerpotter6753]

This is a helpful guide. Out of curiosity, the Orruks look a little bit bluer than the skin used on the Hobgrots. Is this true? If so, what colors did you use? Also, what colors did you use for the robes? Really liking those!

[@stevenhatton8275]

Really love these!!

[@JujulaFraise09]

Thank you ! Now i wanna try :)

[@davidgerrard2501]

Another great video Darcy! Thank you so much, gonna use this on my goblin team for Blood Bowl I think. =)

[@yakuhebihorobira3068]

[@GatecrasherPod]

[@Azguz40k]

[@korhilweisspelz]

[@DarcyBonoCreations]

Haha well I don't post videos very often. And Insta doesn't let me post links in the images so I have to do them as stories... and they disappear 😮‍💨. A usually keep the newest pinned in my highlights but the visibility is minimal so it's not you!
