I’m so eager to crack open Warhammer Quest: Cursed City and get started painting the models that I’ve already started planning how I’m going to base them! I want these fantastic models to look extra special, and in this basing tutorial I’ll show you my method for creating these creepy scenic bases.

Today I’m sharing my quick, simple and effective method of basing your Tzeentch models using Games Workshop’s Shattered Dominion bases. I think this style of base is great not just for Disciples of Tzeentch armies in Age of Sigmar, but also Starborne Seraphon and maybe even Tzeentch daemon armies in Warhammer 40K.

This tutorial covers rust and weathering effects for iron, steel and gold all wrapped up into a single process. It’s great for armour, weapons, chains, metal constructs, chariots and a whole host of other things.

This week I’ve been experimenting with painting realistic skeletons and bone. That meant looking at a lot of reference images of ancient mummies and desiccated corpses. The final look is the culmination of that macabre research. The good news is that this naturalistic look is actually quite easy to achieve.

You might find this realistic stone tutorial useful when painting a herdstone as shown here, when painting up scenic bases for your Warhammer or Middle Earth models, or when painting other fantasy wargames scenery and terrain.

The ‘lost city’ basing technique shown in this tutorial would suit any number of Warhammer Age of Sigmar armies. They could represent a sunken city of the Idoneth Deepkin, a jungle ruin of the Seraphon or a settlement plagued by the Maggotkin of Nurgle.
