You can use the paste to base up to or over any integral base on the miniatures.
I get mine mixed as a Dulux colour because I use a lot, you might want to just go and get a matchpot of a colour you like. Use paint that's gong to be the dark colour on your bases. I used to use Basetex but you can make your own as I do now very easily with a mix of paint, PVA and sand.
I get mine from Warbases but there are other places. I use mdf bases, you can get them in any size to fit any miniature but they still look uniform. Can this technique be used with the pre-colored sand, or will the added, thin layer of glue make the base look bad? What bases do most people use for miniatures like this? Would beveled/lipped bases work better, filling green stuff into the gaps between the outer lip and the model's default base? Or is it better to glue the model onto a normal base and simply put green stuff around the default base in order to create a slope rather than a shelf (is this a lot of work)?ĭoes sand stick well to dried green stuff with PVA glue? Also, do any people use the pre-colored sand that does not require paint? I usually seal the sand by applying watered down PVA glue after the initially glued sand has dried, as it seems that the sand can easily flake off otherwise. Furthermore, simply gluing them on a base does not look that great since even after adding sand, it would be apparent that the model is standing on a "shelf" upon the base. The Reaper miniatures are already fused to a "base," which is problematic since I am OCD about coherency, and would like the basing style to be consistent. I would like to use the same style base, perhaps in different sizes to accommodate larger creatures, for all of my miniatures. I intend to use a combination of metal Reaper miniatures, Reaper Bones, and Frostgrave miniatures.
