I find that you not only set the bar for painting miniatures, but also for basing. I've learned so much from you, my brother. I'm more into foam buildings, along with basing, for miniatures. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your instruction. -Rick, USMC
I was afraid of or thought I couldn't make anything good for bases for the longest time... Videos like this one really helped break that wall, keep fighting the good fight!
This could not have been timed any better for me - I just nabbed some roots off a downed tree at a construction site near my house, it's amazing how great they look as to scale trees. Excellent work as always man!
I am new to the hobby of Warhammer. But I have built terrain for years, and once I saw the flat bases and had much the same thoughts. Thank you for the content. Excellent work

My answer for your question: I think it's a typical mistake when people use too much of the last layer (e.g. snow effect) and cover all the other layers. It's also more expensive to make and the base is not varied enough even though there are several materials underneath each other.
Love where this is going. Very reminiscent of your black legion basing tutorial which I used when basing my chaos marines. Hope the painting video is coming to CZcams too.
Thanks! All the Tank build and videos will be up on the grimdarkcompendium.com for sometime. Usually takes several months for tutorials to make it to CZcams.
Man I love all your videos! You are one of the first channels I subscribed to when I started mini painting. I got to ask though. Are you going to do a full video based off of the alien skin short you did?
Thanks!! There is a full video for that on the grimdarkcompendium.com I will release it to CZcams at some point but I usually leave them exclusively on the Compendium for a while.
That's pretty awesome. Do you do anything to treat the floppy thin root structures? I used spray clear years ago to add rigidity so they don't floop around.
Question do you plan on doing gaming bases too? Maybe a battle on a frozen lake or something like that? Also if i sign up to the grimdark compendium do i get access to EVERY tutorial you have ever released?

I've been toying with the grimdark style because I prefer the more gritty look to it and you've got me painting my first mini in the style. One thing I wanted to ask though is how would you go about varnishing the finished miniature? Would it not effect the varying degrees of matt/satin look to the mini?
@@GrimdarkCompendium sweet as. I was looking at the mix thinking..... that's small for paver mix. Now there is a use for the sacks of left over paver mix from the last DIY 😃
A few months is not that long for a 40k base to survive. Have you used the moss in other older projects? I know the wood is good for an insanely long time. Once it dries out that's all the change it will do.

Since my work primarily involes weathering and distressing, I teach environment first to set the ground work for those weathering recipes. A lot of people ask me how to weather this or that and I always respond with "what environment are they in?" Environment dictates everything. Literally.
Just one thing to note is that you should bake the wood in the oven to make sure it's dry and that way it won't create black mold.

Thank you, sir. I appreciate your comments and support!
Nothing says Grimdark like black gloves and a dozuki saw out in nature hacking away at tree roots. Fantastic video, excellent as always.
Haha. Thanks
This video is perfect! One small issue, I live in the desert in the middle of rural Oregon. Sagebrush time!
I hear you. Sapling roots of any kind work!
@@GrimdarkCompendium oooh good idea, thank you very much good sir!

Mosses and lichen really don’t need anything to survive. They’re air plants and you’re not gonna kill them. Nice looking base! I love it
This could not have been timed any better for me - I just nabbed some roots off a downed tree at a construction site near my house, it's amazing how great they look as to scale trees. Excellent work as always man!
Oh Awesome! Thanks!
Great your back
Excellent tutorials
This has to be the best take on grimdark I have seen. Amazing video man

I appreciate it!!
I love your videos they taught me a lot! Was wondering if you had a video on the CZcams’s showing how you go about painting a forested base like this?
Glad to see you posting again!
I've been painting non stop! Go to grimdarkcompendium.com that us where I post all my videos. Only occasionally do I post to CZcams.
Sweet some new stuff!!!!!! I'm ready

This is amazing and a true source of inspiration. Thank you.

Thanks. It will! We will finish the build and then paint it up!
Very cool. Looking forward to the next!

swear down: this brudda is on another level

What is the black material did you use for the base texture?
Great
Amazing job! Can't wait for a part 2, tbh :D
Base looks amazing. Will you be posting your tank conversions at some point? would love to see those.
Thanks! All the Tank build and videos will be up on the grimdarkcompendium.com for sometime. Usually takes several months for tutorials to make it to CZcams.
Place those in the oven to kill any bacteria, mold, mites etc. No need for water and a toothbrush
Just epic as per usual 🔥

Great video
Will we see a Morathi video in the future?
and now i need the $95 static grass machine
thanks!
A quick question, what kind of cork did you use ? I cant really find a suitable product so far. Only cork related stuff i find are thin cork sheets.
That's pretty awesome. Do you do anything to treat the floppy thin root structures? I used spray clear years ago to add rigidity so they don't floop around.
I do not use use anything on the roots. I've tried Ak's Neutral Protection for plants but it didn't really work as well as I was hoping.
Question do you plan on doing gaming bases too?
Maybe a battle on a frozen lake or something like that?
Also if i sign up to the grimdark compendium do i get access to EVERY tutorial you have ever released?
We are always making basing tutorials. And yes you get access to every tutorial on the site excluding Masterclass stuff.
Ooh, new stuff, finally...

Without baking the organic elements. How long till they start to deteriorate on average?
Have never had one breakndown.
I've been toying with the grimdark style because I prefer the more gritty look to it and you've got me painting my first mini in the style.
One thing I wanted to ask though is how would you go about varnishing the finished miniature? Would it not effect the varying degrees of matt/satin look to the mini?
Don't varnish as a last step.
@@GrimdarkCompendium Thanks for letting me know. Would they still be ok to handle if used on the tabletop?
Wow, amazing
Ty ty
Awesome!
How long to the painting video? :)
Couple more.
great work mate. Just to check, you mix the paver base in with the black mud? or do you make a mix with paver base, pva, water?
Use Paver Base with pva. I just used the mud in this video for texture and to fill the gaps between the bigger pieces of paver base.
@@GrimdarkCompendium sweet as. I was looking at the mix thinking..... that's small for paver mix. Now there is a use for the sacks of left over paver mix from the last DIY 😃
A few months is not that long for a 40k base to survive. Have you used the moss in other older projects? I know the wood is good for an insanely long time. Once it dries out that's all the change it will do.
There certain types of moss that last for a very long time. Like the little green moss that looks like twigs last.
@@GrimdarkCompendium Thank you for the insight.
😊
Hey my bases aren't boring I put effort into them.. :(
😀
I guess it is time to rebase all my bases....

This is nothing new, it is funny to present it like that and it looked bad at the end. Why would a miniature painter think of the base first?
