    Sick. This is just enough to be really interesting without distracting you from the models. Thanks for the guide.

    Great little tutorial! I use dental tools to apply the muck since they tend to avoid smears and you can sculpt some topography in while you apply it. I’ve also found you can use the airbrush to blow details like puddles or craters in, although you need a spray booth to contain the splash!

    You guys do love your Sansodor thinner. Personally I think it tastes a bit vinegary.

    Another great video, I've never used pigments for bases but I do use Vallejo texture paints, I'm painting Imperial fists at the moment and really want a dusty red martian landscape as like you pointed out, the red and yellow will work great together! Will definitely experiment with these methods, thank you :)

    Very simple and nice. If you put something (e.g. skulls) on the base, do you glue them before or after adding the texture paste?

    • @cultofpaint
      @cultofpaint  4 года назад +6

      Almost always before, that way it's easier to make them look part of the base. The vallejo texture paint used in the video is also a really good adhesive, you don't need extra glue if you press items in whilst it is wet.

    Hi there, I was wondering if you could share how you choose pigment colors for your basing?
    I'm currently painting up some Raven Guard Primaris using your Heresy tutorial and have them stomping through a ruined city, and I'm trying to strike that balance between busted concrete, rubble, rust, and general dust. I was planning to rust up the various metal work pieces, use greys on the stone and use a combination of MIG concrete and rubble dust... any other colors you'd recommend I add in? I'm worried it'll look a little flat as is

    • @cultofpaint
      @cultofpaint  11 месяцев назад

      I like natural sienna and a grey for "generic" ruined city. It's quite light so shows up well on the board, plus it means elements like rusty pipes etc catch the eye.

    I'm having trouble with my bases, I'm trying to make some Istavaan V themed bases, so 'black sands', rubble and debris from marines but I can't settle on a color or pigment powder. I also have Iron Hands so if it's too dark it looks off with too little contrast between the mini and base. You guys got any recommendations or tips?

    Great video! Would you have any suggestions for the pigment colours on a light desert colour using a texture paint along the lines of Vallejo Desert Sand or AK Light Earth?

    • @cultofpaint
      @cultofpaint  4 года назад +2

      Something like Vallejo Natural Sienna, Light Sienna and Light Yellow Ochre would look good!

      Cory for my Tomb Kings I used Vallejo Desert Sand, then once dry a thinned wash of Agrax Earthshade, then when that's dry a final drybrush of Screaming Skull - If done in batches it's quick and very effective - dead grass tufts here and there and voila!

    Hi Guys, so this is very straight forward.. really simple and easy to follow which is great! really appreciate it. How does the process change when there is a model on the base? I'd like to apply the powder over feet etc and have the ground blend into the marine on the base. How is this achieved? Cheers!

    • @cultofpaint
      @cultofpaint  Год назад

      Pretty much no change. I nearly always do it with the model already glued on.

      By using analogous colours, red/orange/yellow, you're going to get this lovely overall warm feeling to the piece, perfect for some hot, arid Martian surface.

    Hi Henry, great vid. How would you tie the model to the bases? Pigments mixed with water through an airbrush? Do you have any videos planned to add to this? Cheers

    • @cultofpaint
      @cultofpaint  3 года назад +1

      Just be a bit sloppy when you are applying it and get some on the feet. If it’s too much you can easily remove with a brush or qtip.

    I have a really dumb question about the Sansodor: I used this tutorial now making a base for myself, but it's the first time I use Sansodor. I used a pipette to drop Sansodor onto the base just like in the video BUT without thinking I cleaned the pipette in my water-cup. I noticed something looking like "oil" on top of my water and now I wonder if its safe to pour out in the sink? :)
    Help a newbie out with some good-to-know knowledge about this stuff, and im sorry for being dumb! :(

    • @cultofpaint
      @cultofpaint  2 года назад +1

      It won’t mix with water hence the oily look. Never good to dump solvents down the plug hole, so I’d just soak up with a rag and discard.
