GamerGaeth Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Okay, so I have a bit of a head scratcher here. I'm currently working on an Essence of Power that is going to do double duty for both my Rasputina crew and my Kaeris crew. I'd like for it to fit in thematically with both of them, but I'm running into a problem with the base. For Rasputina's crew's bases, I'm giving them a simple snowed-over ground basing (with a couple ice crystals on Rasputina's base). For Kaeris' crew's bases, I'm doing a kind of mechanical base, like they're in a factory or something of the sort. Since I don't want to do a snowed-over factory floor (it seems silly to me), do you have any suggestions for a base that would work well with each theme?

Serigala Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Two suggestions. Can you throw a few bits of mechanical debris onto an ice base. So the base is outside, but still has the industrial link? Also, can you tie the essence of power into the crews through colour? Kaeris' flame doesn't have to be yellow. You could paint Kaeris' fire gamin and the essence of power with blue flames that could tie them in alongside the rest of Tinas crew.

Mr.Phreak Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Do two bases and have fun with magnets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I like the idea of a bunch of gears covered in snow. But I suspect what you'll have to do is pick one or the other and use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'd go with the magnets, myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Considering the themes, Its not likely that you'll find a compromise between the two that doesn't look out of place. You can get another EoP on ebay for $7.75. I would just base and paint up two. Magnetizing it is an option, but I'd rather dish out the extra few dollars and just avoid the hassle. As a bonus, you can paint them to match their respective crews (cold blue flames vs regular flames?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerGaeth Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Someone on tumblr suggested something that I really like - basing it with mechanical bits powered by an icy blue crystal. I think I might try this. I'd do the magnetizing, but I'm absolute crap with magnets. Tried that sort of thing with my Coryphee before, and it just did not work out well.

Tried that sort of thing with my Coryphee before, and it just did not work out well. That's because one of the duet is on tiptoes. Its hard to find somewhere for the magnet. Its easy to create flames from Greenstuff. You could easily bury a magnet in some extra flames at the base of the Essence of Power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96p Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 buy a second one... Edit: wait a sec... how do you use Essence of Power with Kaeris when she's leading your Crew ? She can't hire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can't hire it. I don't. I use it with Kaeris when she's doing work for crews other than Rasputina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'd probably do something like an entrance to the factory (a small one, side entrance). EoP would be in the doorway in the middle of the base. One half of the base would be the inside of the factory, while the other would be on the outside - with snow and everything...
