[QUOTE="Murrdox, post: 2699224, member: 10131"] Hey everyone. I have all these minis, and I'm getting pretty good at painting, but I've never done any basing. I have a ton of minis that are already painted that I could get to work on. I've read a few tutorials... pogre's is great... I wish the pictures worked. I don't have any supplies for this sort of thing either, so tips on supplies would be good. So far it sounds like I will at LEAST need 1) Elmer's Glue 2) Sand 3) Grass (there are different types and I'm not sure where to get it. The grass I see in hobby shops most times is just the little green fluffs... but I've seen straight tall grass on some based minis too) 4) Green Stuff? I don't have any of this, seems most people employ it on their bases 5) Bases themselves... most people glue their minis to some kind of base... my minis are mostly reaper minis with their own small bases, so that they do not have a "slot" to glue into a plastic base. What kind of base should I purchase for these types of bases? Finally - when do you base a mini? After you prime but before painting? After painting is done? After you matte it? Do you matte the base? [/QUOTE]
