This post is pretty much mostly photos (a picture is worth a thousand words, right?) I recently (well always) have been getting into the bases made by a company called back2basix (thanks to Trevor and Mark for introducing me to their range). The only issue with their base sets they have for sale is that there are a limited number of styles you can use. So to deal with those issues I have recently been looking at making my own.
Here is a brief run down on what I used. I ended up buying the urban basing kit from games-workshop (you can probably see it in most of the photos). The kit comes with different sizes of rocks/rubble, some plastic detailing and brass sheeting. Combined with cork (ripped from a sheet. The rougher the edges the better). Finally. I coated them with sand. Ta-dah! A set of bases. And cue the photos.
I ended up using green stuff to make a mound on the base to give it a 3D effect. |
After the green stuff dried; the next step was to layer with sand. |
And behold the finished products.
I've even started on the next batch. I'm playing around with different levels and materials to really bring home the city ruin theme.
I ended up using a plastic tile sheet that I found at Hobbyrama. It has the same consistency as plasticard. |
Anyway I thought I'd finish with a group shot. So, at this point I'll just keep on basing. 10 cultists down, 30 more to go. Wish me luck!
Catch ya guys!

P.S. I spent way to much time un-sticking my fingers after using super-glue. God bless plastic glue and the fact it wont glue my hands together.
Really enjoying watching your army progress mate. Can't wait to finally get a chance to throw down against your flying aces.
