The "quite cool" and not "leaving" them like this are the kind of quips for which I love your style. Great video! I porbably would use a darker starting tone instead of the strong washes, but I really like your take nonetheless.
I'm using a green stuff roller as well and I'm quite happy with it, but your idea to copy the plastic ruins is really clever and the result looks ace👍 And consider the colour scheme of your bases stolen 😉
I used to be like that too Peter, in fact my cabinet still has lots of minis that are painted really well but have crappy bases. It makes a HUGE difference though and your minis only look as good as the base they're standing on. A golden demon quality mini will look bad if its on a terrible base. Anyways, rant over! Thanks for watching! 😂
As I bought the Osgiliath-box a couple weeks ago, I'm thinking about how to create bases with an Osgiliath-feeling. This Video helped a lot. I really love the idea with these tiny leaves instead of grass tufts.
Freaking GREAT stuff dude!!! Absolutely love these bases. I'll be doing mine the exact same way. Im going to try and get the exact leaf hole punch you used if possible. What a great idea!!
Thanks Kenny!! Is there a particular store in the US you think I should look at for affiliate links? I've got NZ, Aus & UK covered but that's it. Cheers again for watching!
Loving the channel! These bases are amazing! Never worked with blue stuff and milliput before, did you need to wet the mold before putting the base with milliput in? Did you have to leave the base in the mold until it had set or press firmly and peel off?
I love this basing scheme, but what would you suggest for mounted Gondor units with a bigger base? Would you still go for the cobblestone or do something more like grasslands?
Woo happy new year. The leaves take the cobblestone bases to the next level. I think thats what I have been missing. How do you find the army painter washes I'm thinking of swapping from GW?
And to you mate! The army painter washes aren’t as rich as the citadel ones. But I do find them to be more reliable as in no issues with gloss or that annoying chalkiness you sometimes get.
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes it is! Thank you! Will made it along with the other retro style graphics that’ll be on more of our stuff soon. Also your video quality is getting better every video man! They’re a joy to watch - Boone
That is a great question and one you’ll probably need to ask again in several months time 😂 I’m really hoping that the alcohol will have killed any microbes and then like you say the sealant keeps them sealed. We shall see 😬
How did you attach the bases to that stick you were using to be able to prime and paint several at once? I'm about to try and do some of my own the exact same way as is my younger brother

Hahaha I'm glad you appreciate it, thanks for watching! 😁
Love this technique! I’m definitely going to try it out for my Gondorians. I also enjoyed your background music and the “it’s quite cool” haha
Thanks Jacob, glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with your noble sons of Gondor 😁
Brilliant tutorial as always and will definitely be picking up some of the leaf punches for some foresty themed army's for 2023 👍
Thanks Colin! Glad you’re enjoying them 😁
Using real leaves for leaves is genius. Im gonna try this
Haha thanks man, I have rare moments! Good luck with your leaves 😁
great vid, loved how you showed us every detail of making the base and what products you used. I am about to start my minas tirith army now. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words Josh! I'm glad you enjoyed it, good luck with your Minas Tirith army 😊

Haha steal away buddy thanks for watching 😁
I like the way you make leaves. Very cool video.
Thanks buddy 😁
This is really cool Adam, I must pay more attention to my bases, it's the bit I never spend enough time on!
I used to be like that too Peter, in fact my cabinet still has lots of minis that are painted really well but have crappy bases.

Nice job on these, I look forward to seeing more of this army, painting and gameplay!
Thanks! This certainly won't be the last time they make an appearance 😁

I’m glad you liked it! Good luck with your Osgiliath box set 😊
Nice vid mate! ive tried doing this before a couple of times and it hasnt worked out great. Might have to try again with some of the tips!
Thanks Liam! I'll look forward to seeing them along with your beautifully painted minis at a tourney this year! 😁
Freaking GREAT stuff dude!!! Absolutely love these bases. I'll be doing mine the exact same way. Im going to try and get the exact leaf hole punch you used if possible. What a great idea!!

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes I'd guess like Amazon maybe but I'm super inexperienced in how the affiliate link stuff works
@@kennygpokerstrategy4917 thanks man I'll check it out 😊
Great tutorial adam. I think I need some blue stuff so I can give this a try for my own minas tirith troops.
Yes do it! It’s super easy. I did the same thing with my ork Kommandos for kill team except with scrap from the octarius terrain.
Stunning bases Adam. Love them.
Thanks man! 😁
Loving the channel! These bases are amazing! Never worked with blue stuff and milliput before, did you need to wet the mold before putting the base with milliput in? Did you have to leave the base in the mold until it had set or press firmly and peel off?
Thanks Dan! No need to wet the mold and yes you leave the milliput to set before removing from the mold 😊
Wow, that's really nice!
Thanks! It’s really easy to do you should give it a go 😊
The bluestuff idea is genius! Wish I saw that video earlier :D
Just start a new army! 😂 Thanks for watching dude!
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes Well, that's about to happen, want to make a Rangers of Ithilien army seperate from my main MT army :D
@@Old_Shatterhans nice!!!!
Loved the video 😁
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Looks great, I'm considering the leaf cutter idea for some Lothlorien bases.
Yeah great idea, perfect for Lothlorien 😁
Really cool
Thanks!
Amazing tutorial thankyou so much!
One question, what size drill bit do you tend to use when drilling the feet?
A tiny one haha! Just big enough to fit a paper clip.
Fantastic mate
Thanks James!
I love this basing scheme, but what would you suggest for mounted Gondor units with a bigger base? Would you still go for the cobblestone or do something more like grasslands?
Thank you! Totally up to you of course, personally I like an army to have the cohesion of matching bases so would keep to the same for mounted units.
Hi Adam, I remember you showed this casting process before. I love the idea and the look. The leaves are an excellent touch. Great work dude!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching Michael!
Satisfying
Glad you think so buddy! 😁
Great tutorial this mate. Thank you!
Glad you liked it Dale, thanks for watching 😊
This is so damn good
That’s very kind thanks buddy 😊
Woo happy new year. The leaves take the cobblestone bases to the next level. I think thats what I have been missing.
How do you find the army painter washes I'm thinking of swapping from GW?
And to you mate! The army painter washes aren’t as rich as the citadel ones. But I do find them to be more reliable as in no issues with gloss or that annoying chalkiness you sometimes get.
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes Class think I'll get some I really want the reliability
How important is pinning? Could I get away with just superglue?
The pinning adds strength, you could get away with not pinning them just be aware that a bit of rough handling may cause them to break off.
great work. :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Good stuff!!
Thanks! Nice new logo btw. It is new right??
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes it is! Thank you! Will made it along with the other retro style graphics that’ll be on more of our stuff soon.
Also your video quality is getting better every video man! They’re a joy to watch

@@TabletopCollective thanks dude, I appreciate that. Looking forward to seeing more of the retro, I love it! 😁
Great video Adam! Quick question, does the leaf litter not decompose, or is it offset by PVA/Varnish?
That is a great question and one you’ll probably need to ask again in several months time 😂 I’m really hoping that the alcohol will have killed any microbes and then like you say the sealant keeps them sealed. We shall see 😬
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes
How are they looking so far?
@@johnoneill3654 hey man! Yeah they’re still looking great! They’ll have a little cameo at the end of my next video if you want to check them out 😉
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes
Absolute legend, glad to hear it. Cheers bud can't wait! 👍
How did you attach the bases to that stick you were using to be able to prime and paint several at once? I'm about to try and do some of my own the exact same way as is my younger brother
I just use a blog of blue tac mate!
@@dicedrinksanddadjokes thanks!
What do you think about texture paper to do this kind of bases?
Yeah that’s another way to create interesting effects 😊
