Make AWESOME Warhammer Desert Bases and SAVE MONEY doing so!

Working with texture paints is actually pretty fun! Experimenting with how to get different crack sizes and shapes and how to replace the Games Workshop products with cheaper alternatives.

Here you can get the crackle paste I recommend:

Golden Acrylics Crackle Paste 8fl.oz/236ml: bit.ly/35EeOKP
Golden Acrylics Crackle Paste 16fl.oz/473ml: bit.ly/2DobMhI

    The paints have been out a while - what are the tricks you found out that make these products look better?
  • Thank you so much for the amazing content you are delivering. This quality of this video is incredible and provides so much inspiration. The very constructive comments posted by the viewers and the discussions they create are the perfect proof of that, I ordered some crackle paste myself and cannot wait to put it under a battery of testing, so many variables to play with!
  • Every one you did is realistic. The reason mud does that is the level of clay content in the soil. Higher the clay content, the larger the plates.
  • @Kruudelis
    Putting a layer of PVA glue under the crackle medium (letting the glue dry fully before applying the crackle paint) makes it crack more.
  • I haven't painted in 20 years but watching these vids is making me want to! Thanks for the great insight, I'd watch videos on really basic stuff, like what to do if you are just starting miniature painting if you did them. I never really knew what to do in the late 90s, just started having a go and wondering why some looked pretty good (well I thought so at the time) and some looked 'not right'. You have helped explain why to me! Thanks again, keep up the good work.
  • @sethhavens1574
    great results with the multi-part grain + crackle bases, very useful idea cheers
  • I've been wanting to try these out but wasn't sure if I'd like the results. Well Sir, you've help me make up my mind...definitely going to try them out now. Thank you for sharing with us!
  • @noixamyd
    Great test! I love any attempt to up the effect of natural weathering and environment!
  • @ArtJeremiah
    Yes! The craft is all about experimenting. Love this video style!
  • @TheLimozeen
    Love your videos! I learn something new every video, and most importantly, I feel motivated to try new things because you make them seem possible!
  • @MiniaturesDen
    Great video as always, Trovvy. Very informative! :)
  • @tremolo_painter
    I just watched paint dry :) Thank you for working through these combinations, you have saved me a lot of time and money
  • @nikos52
    Maybe if you altered the surface of the bases before applying the paste it could alter the effect. Have you tried roughing it up, or applying gloss medium or even a coat of wood glue?
  • @mattkent1958
    I have found that using agrellan badland(the grainy one) very thick, it will also crack in the nice random way on its own
  • I like the test. Worth a try. Try adding different mediums to your crackle stuff as well
  • @Belzeboris
    Great video! Thanks a lot for your effort!!
  • @citadel5835
    cool vid 3rd and 4th base's look good to me
  • @Joetime90
    So the GW stuff works pretty well, as long as you mix it. But if you got a lot (I've a lot of Eldar to base) it's best to use the crackle past with some grain (grout or modeling sand) you'll get awesome results with plenty to spare. That's what I gathered.
