- From cool scenic ruins to battlefield mud or chunks of fallen foes, your Warhammer bases can add some real character to their models - and taken together, they can even tell a story. In this video, we’re going to form a story of our own through basing, demonstrating ideas and techniques that will be super easy to replicate for any army you might collect. Ollie will be adding some flavor to just some of the bases for the paint tutorial team's Tyranid army, so follow along and get inspired to forge your own narrative.
If you're new to painting, our Citadel Colour Painting Essentials playlist hosts an array of beginner-friendly videos to help you get started.

Tutorials have been great lately. Thanks as always
Team will be so chuffed to hear that.
It's really cool to see the direction going more down the creative and imaginative route, it's reminiscent of old white dwarf tutorials
Trading spare parts between players to tell a story with basing is a tip I can’t recommend enough. Me and the wife do it; her Norn Emissary has a dead old Deathwing Knight at its feet, and my Abyss Watchers are standing on her Tyranid corpses.
If you play narrative/crusade, and I highly recommend you do, do this! Trade some bits between friends, decorate your bases or even your terrain.
I really want to commend whoever at the studio decided to return the tutorials to more of the kitbash/hobby side , it’s nice to see the return of it after many years
I've always loved the lore of the Crimson Fists as expert Ork hunters. I used to put dead Orks and even unfortunate guardsmen on bases for my old Crimson Fists army. My favourite was the base of my Stormtalon, which had some small ruins on , an Ork Nob leaning backwards and holes everywhere as he and the ruins had been peppered with Assault Cannon rounds.
These recent creative style videos are so good! Loving all the new tips and different ways of doing things
I think most Warhammer bases tells a story of needing a broom to tidy up after themselves look at all that mess and rubble .
Great video! I definitely recommend checking with your friends and opponents for extra bits. My Leagues of Votann are known for fighting orks, so I got a bunch of ork bits from a friend! My favorite though are my Iron Warriors, I gave them WW1-style trench bases, with the cultists scrabbling over no man's land while the Astartes go marching through the duckboards clearing trenches, and my Terminators smash their way through razor wire and tank traps as my daemon prince crushes a sandbag barrier.
A base tutorial? For free! My My GW, you’re really making me want to start another army
Which army? Hope it involves grots/goblins.
I play Black legion and blood angels. My black legion have dead Blood angels on their basses and vice versa so in my head canon both my armies fight eachother lmao
Actually, most of my armies are connected that way, at least in the stories in my head 😂
Huge props to the team. The tutorials lately have been great. Love the more creative direction you guys are taking. You should be proud 👍👍👍
I'm a huge fan of themed bases for an army etc. However I would prefer, not to have them included 'into' the models without a choice. I've chosen an industrial theme for my Marines and have to remove and cover up all the tactical-rocks that just make no sense in an old factory...
Not all Eldarplayers might like to have their army running around on Eldar Ruins etc...
Besides, thats a great instruction-video, like the new style!
So who's kicking a dead space marine for half a galaxy?
I think these latest videos are great, both for those of us who have been in the hobby for a long time and for the new initiates. Keep it up!
Glad to hear! Thank you for the feedback! We'll pass it along!
Very cool basing ideas! Maybe something I'll start trying out with the new grimdark stormcast when 4th ed hits.
I love the concept of telling a story with my bases sense it helps set a theme or tone for the army as well
I'm painting Hive Fleet Lotan and was inspired by a short story where they fight the Death Guard over a jungle planet. I've also wanted to try to do a jungle base for a long time, so the choice was obvious! The green foliage works really well with the reds and bits of blue of Lotan :)
Amazing tutorial, keep doing the amazing work!!!
Very good! Really enjoying these tutorials recently - very wholesome and good hobby advice. The tip about trading spare bits with a friend is unexpected, practical and most welcome rather than simple hinting on buying another box of space marines for that purpose 👏
This tutorials have taken it up a notch recently, really good!
I'm loving these daily creative videos. Keep up the great work!
I love this video as it really emphasizes my favorite thing about basing, the ability to tell a story with your models. I’m also a big fan of the tips on how to make basing look natural as I’ve typically had to stick to helmets for my basing as those are easy to make look natural on the base compared with say an entire space marine.
Da fing is ladz, that dead ork on the beakie models is actually proper kunnin and morky. He's just pretending to be krumped so he can get close to da enemy.
That is realy helpful thanks.
How about the other way around how can i remove basing either from minis i got from a friend or i like my old sceme no longer?
Great stuff! Thanks for the video!
That Blood Angel’s Christmas wishes slowly fading before his eyes… :(
Amazing, now I just need to decide who to sacrifice!
Bits from the bits box 🎉
I’ve really been enjoying these tutorials lately!
Love these new tips and tricks videos!
I love this new form on tutorials. Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're enjoying!
I wish they sold empty SM helmets like they do in the skull pack
Crimson Castellan tutorial next ? lol.
Loving the recent tutorials 👍👍
These tips are very useful! Thanks for this!
Love it!!
I don’t often find myself with spare legs so just having the upper half of the space marine combos great with a tube of squeezy modelling putty because you can pretty much form ready made “viscera” out of the tube. Slap some blood for the blood god on it for some nice gory ripped in half space marines.
❤
Very useful video, will definitely try this on my next model.
This looks bloody amazing!
Okay, this was actually really nice and genuinely useful, at least for me as a hobbyist that strives to tell a story with my minis
Fantastic vid. Time to go add a bunch of necrons heads to my space Marine bases. 🤩
GW, please give the Eldar some more love in terms of both models and lore.
So glad we are getting more content.
thanks good vidéo after all the drama we can just chill and apriate 40k
