I love how Duncan thins out his glue just like he does to his paints. "Now we are about to eat come chips. But first we're going thin down the tartar sauce with some vinegar like this. Now you're ready to eat some chips."

Basing tutorials are amazing! Perfect pace, and very easy to follow!!! Looking for more amazing videos, amazing job Duncan and team!!!

I'd love more basing tutorials! I think a rocky highland basing tutorial would be great.

What a great video for basing! This is similar to how I do my Admech bases but without the dry brushing! Thanks Duncan, keep up the good work!

Great tutorial - solid basing advice is always welcome - for far too long i avoided doing any basing for fear of making a mess of a finished model, but really adds tonnes of character!

Always love your videos! It takes such basic stuff and you do your magic to make it look much more advanced

I'm so happy I haven't based my Adeptus Mechanicus yet. This is perfect!!! Thanks Duncan.

This is amazing! Exactly what I needed, thank you!

You ever think about how some of us take real rock glue them onto a base and then paint them to look like real rocks?

Absolutely love this. More basing techniques please!

I've not seen that dry stippling technique before. Such high quality, yet approachable content. You are an excellent educator!

Thank you Jim. We are glad it helps.

Even though I can do bases I still learnt extra tips here. Thank you for these insights Duncan. Much appreciated.

Duncan you are such a good instructor. Excellent results and I really liked how you blended the Martian Ironearth in by using water. Excellent. I will definitely do this for my Adepticus Mechanicus.

Thank you Sir. It is very nice to see a basing video that takes the time to blend together multiple materials, dimensions and textures under the crackle paint instead of just 1: Glue miniature to base. 2: Plaster base with thick layer of crackle paint. 3: Wait for it to dry. 4: Saturate with Agrax Earthshade. 5: Drybrush. 6: Ta daaaaaah.

This was a great tutorial. My main comments having tried it out would be: (i) the base wasn't as saturated as I expected (looked more like a damp iron rich soil that a dry arid landscape) and (ii) the pva I used to hold down the sand kept reactivating (exposing the base beneath). I solved the first problem by applying a vibrant watered-down red-orange contrast paint liberally over the base until the it really popped (in my case I used Nuclear Sunrise from Army Painters' speed paints). For the latter, I would recommend a second prime to properly adhere the sand to the base

Awesome base exactly what I was looking for.

Really loved the video and would love to see more basing tutorials!

Please do more basing tutorials. I enjoy your techniques and it would be great to see more base styles.

my admec army really apreciates this tutorial, keep being an inspiration Duncan :)

This is the third time i was searching for something specific and your channel shows up :D you can read minds in the future which is next level psyker stuff

Hi Kyle. We have plenty of basing tutorials on our website (duncanrhodes.com) similar to this one. In fact we have grasslands, snow, urban rubble, forest floor to name but a few. I'm pretty sure we would have you covered 😊

Farsight Enclaves approved.

Thanks very much for this video, I’m hopefully getting some admech skitarii rangers for Xmas and this’ll be perfect, thx

Fantastic! Been looking for a good red earth scheme for my new necron army

The lore for my Skitarii is that their actual forge world is an ocean planet, with densely packed underwater forge cities reminiscent of Rapture from Bioshock. The planet itself, however, is protected by its fortified moon where most of the Skitarii and even Titan Legions are based, with only specialist amphibious forces planetside. So I've been wondering about doing lunar bases for my first, normal Skitarii and their equipment, and I've been looking for ideas/tutorials. Though I could just follow the Martian tutorial and paint it grey, it seems a little boring that way. Once I've got some experience under my belt and some more material, I plan to come back and kitbash proper underwater Skitarii for planetside forces.

It's not as silly as it sounds. Applying a second layer of PVA glue on top of the sand can be a good way to seal it in to prevent it from wearing off over time.

Great technique.

Very cool!

@@Outrage82 I find leaving the model as is after applying the pigment looks the best. It makes it really dusty. If you are going to be gaming a lot and need to bind the pigment there are a few brands that sell pigment binder. I've used Vallejo Pigment Binder. it's okay. I would like to try Pigment Fixer Enamel Fluid by AK interactive or Mig Pigment Fixer. I think they may work better as they are enamel / solvent based and run into cracks, flow well. I would wear a mask or use in well ventilated area if using enamels. Cheers!

I may play Black Legion but dammit I love Mars, thanks for this guide

When duncan dials your basing up to 10, using the exact same paints and textures. Well now I have some ideas to improve my technique.

Great topic! Ice worlds and Tron word next

Hi! thanks for your amazing video tutorials! I wanted to ask you where can I find, and if you can recommend a particular brand, a sand for the bases like the one in the video? thank you so much!

Merci :)

Love this video, I always refer to it when I'm basing my AdMech forces! Just curious though, where do you get the sand from? Been looking for that nice texture where it a bit rocky/gritty.

Hi Duncan, cool to see that you have your own channel. I recognize you from the Warhammer channel :) The magnet storage box is a great idea :) Just wondering where do you get the base grip?

Excellent tutorial for a great looking barren terrain/Mars surface base. Only 2 questions, apart from the paints you used that are listed in the video description what undercoat you use before starting to add details to the base? Do you have a preferred brand you like to use more? Thanks in advance.

Praise be to the Omnisiah

Yay. Finally a proper technique for mars, not like GW's tutorial where it's too flat and plain.Thanks

THAT LOOKS AWESOME! :) Just a little question. :S Would you paint and build your part two of the Base around the finished minature or would you just build the base complete and once both are done you put the mini with some super glue on top of that? :)

Great video, is there anything you would do differently in terms of showing the difference in scale if this was applied to titanicus bases? Cheers

Great tutorial, thank you! Sorry the noob question, but: how did you fix the mini to the base?

Perfect for skitarii

He even thins his glue.

That looks fun to do. How about a jungle base ?

Thanks Duncan, GW really lost a great big gem when you left.

Prais the Omishia - Roger Roger I shall now start a Mechanicum army as i always wanted to.

Hi Duncan, thank you for all your amazing videos. question. I used this method for my base, however, finished it off with a pigment powder to give it that dry dusty feel - looked amazing. however, after i let the pigment fixer dry, it now has that flat look, almost satin look. should I just not use fixer and just see how it goes? I use them to game, but not often. hope you can help. thank you mate.

I wish you would paint some terrain!

Great video Duncan! I am about to start painting my mortarion miniature but I am doing him in a Black and Bronze scheme similar to the black legion.
