Having looked back over my recent blog updates I am going to look at two areas, initially, to improve - bases and faces. With the Repulsor that I am putting together for my Space Wolves I have the perfect opportunity to try out a few things and see if it all works together. Progress with the tank itself is nearing completion, so I started work on putting together the base.
In the photo above the rock formations to the south and west of the base are bits of cork board piled up, painted over with watered-down PVA glue prior to base coating with black primer. The formation to the east is a pile of grit and slate glued down with the PVA glue again.
The rocks were then painted Eshin Grey, before dry brushing with Mechanicus Standard Grey, Dawnstone and finally Administratum Grey. Nuln Oil was used in the recesses of the rocks
The rest of the base was covered with Astrogranite Debris, dry brushed with Administratum Grey and then washed over with Athonian Camoshade.
With the paint dry, I then added the vegetation and the Valhallan Blizzard.
Thanks for looking.
