Realms of Battle: Combining Basing Materials

September 2017·pp. 128–131

THE SHORT VERSION

A basing challenge combines flexible plants, skulls, sculpted bases and spare components to create stronger settings for important models. Colour and composition should support the miniature, and elaborate bases are best painted separately; examples show both contrasting schemes and deliberate integration of figure and ground.

Kitbash: Heroes of the Mortal Realms

The guide starts with a clear character idea and compatible components, recommending dry fitting before permanent assembly. A Slaanesh Lord demonstrates how a changed head, glaive and back banner can alter attitude without rebuilding the pose, while the original scenic base is transferred onto a round one.
