Basing before paint or other way around? Subscribe Bookmark Share 13 Posts Kingdom Death: Monster - Amazon $749.99 - Affiliate Link X Xairen @Xairen Nov 20, 2015 Hi guys! I've begun building the minis but I'm having trouble deciding if I should paint first and then base the minis or base them first and then paint. What's the best way of doing it?
Tutorial Basing Miniatures
Basing materials are objects added to a painted miniature, typically before any paint has been applied, to create a realistic setting for the figure and its environment. This can include things like sand, rocks, grass tufts, foliage, and other "real-world" items.

Let the glue dry before going on. When the glue is dry you have a color decision to make. My own preference is to start with a very dark green (Apple Barrel's Black Green). I highlight by highlighting in steps, mixing with a light color I've used elsewhere on the miniature, often a skin tone. Step 2: Paint the entire base with a dark green color.

Identification: Basing a miniature can help to identify it on the tabletop, particularly if it is part of a larger army or collection. A distinctive base can make it easier to spot the miniature from a distance and to differentiate it from other similar miniatures. Theme: The base can help to reinforce the theme or setting of the miniature.

Finish the base and bind your army together The Army Painter
If you paint armies, it could be easier to make a diorama after the painting, but sometimes it is good to think about it before you start to paint, or better before you clue the mini's about how the base should look like. Here is a sample of my zombie regiment, most of the painting I did before I made the basing.

Some basing, like adding the plastic plants, grass effects, and snow, make sense to do afterwards, since you don't necessarily want to prime them, but even adding those effects, it seems to make sense to have a base of dirt/mud/rocks that would do better with some primer. So r/warhammer, what do you prefer? Do you base and then prime?

2 Location:Oregon Posted July 13, 2013 This question is more geared towards elaborate DIY bases. Should I finish painting the miniature and then add it to the DIY base which seems to make more sense to me or not. I'm also asking more about the non-slotted minis. Should I cut them away from the premade base or incorporate them in?

All I did was prime and paint. Just be sure to let each layer dry completely before adding the next or it can give you some problems. If you are just grabbing bark from outside I would definitely wash and bake like Doug Sundseth recommended. This is an example of a rock I did using the bark. 5.

If you want to ease the hassle, glue them on before painting. Glue basing materials such as sand, bits of gravel etc before you prime the models, that way you don't have to worry about pieces falling off or getting knocked off by brushes. I got myself a pin vise to drill holes into bases and the soles of my minis.

Tutorial Basing Miniatures
Basing before painting allows for better blending of the base materials with the miniature, while basing after painting ensures that the base complements the colors and theme of the painted miniature. Sequencing: Determine the sequence of your painting process. If you plan to add texture or flocking to the base, it's best to base before.

Mix the PVA glue and sand with an old brush before applying it to the base. Before it dries up, sprinkle gravel on it and let it dry. After the glue dries, brush off excesses using a large soft brush so they don't become loose after you finish painting. Prime the base with black primer. Add a medium brown basecoat.
