Now that the building, dipping & painting are done for the Dwarf army, its time to finish the bases. Originally I just started painting the bases with Vomit Brown, but I soon realized that it took a ton of coats to completely cover the Gun Metal primer. This mainly concerned me because my pot of Vomit Brown was almost empty, and it was bought before The Great Paint Reformulation of Ought-Thirteen - "Vomit Brown" is now called "Tau Light Ochre". I had heard some forum folks complaining that some of the new colors didn't
quite match, and I didn't want to run out of paint halfway through the army. I solved this by giving them a coat of Scorched Brown
first,
then a layer of Vomit Brown:
Next, the bases got a coat of PVA glue and were sprinkled with Woodland Scenics Medium Ballast:
...they were given a coat of Woodland Scenics Scenic Cement to "lock in" the ballast:
After that was dry, some small stones were glued to the bases as accents, and the whole thing was given a heavy coat of Devlan Mud wash:
When that had dried and the models had been clearcoated, static grass was added:
