How to Paint: Cyberpunk Bases - No Airbrush!

[@argosard]

My god, i saw the final result on the begining of the video and my jaw just dropped, this has to be one of the best if not the best tuto you have mad so far for bases

[@mugsofdoomminis]

That’s very kind of you to say so.

[@AdventuresinMiniaturePainting]

Just did a bunch of bases following the tutorial and it worked out fantastic! Excellent video! Thanks for making it! 😀

[@mugsofdoomminis]

Glad it inspired you to have cool bases :)

[@mugsofdoomminis]

You got this 🙂 I believe in you. These grey knights are gonna look super cool

Thank you :)

Wonderful paintjob! You make it look so easy. I followed the tutorial you did for the green base and it work out pretty well, so I'm really excited to try this one too. I just need to figure out what mini to put on a base like that.

[@mugsofdoomminis]

I’m sure your gonna knock it out the park :)

[@turbotorben1234]

I need to try this !

[@mugsofdoomminis]

Glad this inspired you, hope you get results you’re happy with :)

[@kiraangle2823]

I probably would have advised ink instead of paint for the glow, maybe even flouro inks

[@mugsofdoomminis]

I didn't own any inks and this is a method that's accessible to everyone and no ot reliant on specialist products or stuff that might not be available in their area

[@kiraangle2823]

@@mugsofdoomminis its all relative, i order all my supplies online due to being in the country, so no one paint is harder to get than any other, besides those japanese enamels and laquers ofc

[@gimiak]

Epic. :)

[@chucknorrissaurus4398]

Awesome tutorial! Where did you get the base?

[@mugsofdoomminis]

It’s one of the games workshop necromunda zone mortalis bases It’s a £12 box ( or regional equivalent) with 15 sculpted 25s , 15 sculpted 32s and 5 40mm bases. This I think is one of the 40mm ones

[@chucknorrissaurus4398]

​@@mugsofdoomminis thank you so much brother! I'm painting my sisterz of synth and these bases would be perfect!

[@mugsofdoomminis]

@@chucknorrissaurus4398 no problem :) sounds a fun project :)

[@stitchreloaded9044]

In your opinion, does this technique work well on base's without the detail complexity of yours?

[@mugsofdoomminis]

At its core the main effect on the base is a gradient which would work on any base. Even a flat one. You could do the isometric vapourwave lines on top of it on a flat base for example Having a base with some industrial details even if it's just some wires or a bit of plastic that looks like corrugated steel glued down will make a difference in its appearance causing things to pop

[@stitchreloaded9044]

Yeah so flat base is really not working out so well. Having a lot of pooling on the flat surfaces. Maybe with an airbrush, but I think this is a no-go for my arena surface. Still thanks for the great tutorial.

[@mugsofdoomminis]

Ah that's a shame. It's always worth trying something though cos even if it doesn't work you learn something
