Some in progress bases

Ok, so for my AdMech, I wanted to try something a bit different for the bases. Rather than a dusty Martian look which is traditional, I wanted a cracked ice look. I think it would go well with the blue I plan to paint them. 

I still need to do a lot of work, but the general idea is there. Once I am satisfied, I will also apply some GW Valahallan Blizzard texture paint. That will probably wait for the models to be on the bases first, so that they don't get in the way of placing the model. 


Also, since I'm sort of improvising and not exactly sure what I'm doing, I'll gladly accept any advice.

I think these look great - nice job!

Thank you.

Looking good. If you want a bit of extra contrast etc, one trick is to paint the bases a different shade of blue/grey/white etc before putting the texture paint on top.

It can take a bit of experimentation to get it right but I've found it can give an illusions of depth to the ice/rock cracks.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that.
