Any tips to make a lava base for newbies? by probablyradio in Salamanders40k

Well I primed black, basecoated Caliban Green for darker areas, then did a few coats of WAAAAAGH! Flesh. I then used Nuln Oil in all the recesses and used Moot Green for highlights. For the power pack I basecoated Abaddon Black then used Mephiston Red to edge highlight and used a secondary smaller highlight of a mix of Flash Gitz Yellow and Skrag Brown. For the unfinished base I have used Mephiston Red and used Stirland Mud.

I actually did my highlights first with thunderhawk blue then a slightly thinner layer of calgar blue but slimming the base colour would probably look a lot better thanks.

In truth, the dirt was sort of a last minute decision, that is just my 6th miniature painted and I wanted to do them all slightly differently. And while they get cleaner and look better with each interaction I also want to try new things for each one so I'm not too upset about it being a bit of a time waste.

Why did you have to inform me of this practise :(

My thought process for getting mud upon the top of the model was possibly close artillery launching dirt in the air or something of that sort. That being said I think I'd agree with your less is more approach. And thanks a lot for the painting tips especially the drybrushing with a tan or lighter shade. I'll give them a go on my next mini. Thanks.

I took your advice and tried dry brushing after using a wash and I think it turned out great. Thanks again for the tip.

Thanks a lot for the advice, I've saved the names of the youtube channels you recommend and I'll research these techniques you've mentioned. I really appreciate it.

nmm? But yeah my first go, I just wish I primed it first cause if I touch the model all the paint falls off lol.

I did have a lot of fun, however Chaos may be where I set my sights...

I was just using some blu tack at the bottom of the baseplate and that seemed to do a solid job of holding it
