retnab Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hey all, I'm planning on using some basing inserts for my Arcanists when they arrive (ordered the Ramos and Mei boxes from my LGS) but I'm having a bit of trouble finding what I had in mind. I was wanting something that looked barren and a bit rocky, ideally with some wood planks here and there and some train track bits. The closest I think I've seen to that is something like this or this, but it's still not quite what I was thinking. Has anyone seen any good base inserts they could recommend for a new Arcanist?

Dirial Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 My brother used THESE for Mei Feng. I'm personally a big fan of THESE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madaxeman Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 You could, erm, make the bases with sand and small rocks, and cut up some HO-OO scale train track for rails and sleepers ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzarcastic Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 My brother used THESE for Mei Feng. I'm personally a big fan of THESE. Those steam pipes are so awesome, they make me regret my strict no-basing policy. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I've done my own basing for some of my Warmachine models but I find it just so time consuming (and I'm certainly no pro so I'm not in love with the look now), so I'm trying to avoid actually doing the bases myself for these. Thanks for the links Dirial, I think the ones in the first set are closer to what I had in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 An update here, I decided after talking to some people to go ahead and work on making my own bases, at least for the Rail Crew guys. I just finished putting Mei Feng's base together and painting her up, I think she turned out alright! I like the base at her back most, I wanted it to look like she was ripping apart the beams on the tracks as she was powering down them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Top Hat Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Looks awesome! Cool paint job as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otylia Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Love the job with Mei Feng! The base really integrates seemelessly with the wood planks in the model. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks! I painted all the wood at the same time to make sure it'd look like it's all from the same place. They have much less interesting bases but Joss and Kang are next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
