Mazin1 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hey all. I'm looking for ideas on a theme for basing my 10t Neverborn minis once I get them. I've been looking around and haven't found anything that really matches their theme. I was thinking maybe casino floor but didn't find anything close to that. Anyone got any ideas? Resin bases, inserts, homemade.. Whatever. Any idea is a possible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 You could try and find the right sized poker chips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLordXIII Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi Mazin, I'm glad you posted this question as it was something I was thinking about myself. I think a marble floor with black checkers might be a neat idea. I would take a standard base, fill it to the lip with greenstuff, smooth it out, and sculpt tiles (I would do diamonds), and then, using a little bit of olive oil (I know this sounds weird ) brush the base as the putty cures to keep your sculpted lines nice and crisp. Perhaps you could then paint every other diamond black like obsidian and then the others a bone color with various green/red/black stone veins, and ultimately watering down gloss varnish and applying it to create a sheen. I'm going to give this a try and see if it works once my stuff gets here in September (I live in Taiwan, so I have to ship everything to the states and wait for a family member to go back for business and pick it up along the way), so I can hopefully post some pictures then. Anyway, my two cents. Good luck with your project! Can't wait to see what others suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameses Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'm gonna try to Green Stuff an effect like the Dopplegangers base here. Most of the Casinos I've worked in had pretty outrageous carpeting... it was down right garish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah, I looked up casino flooring, the carpets are horrific! I plan to go with plush carpets and marble as well, not amazingly original but it fits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazin1 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I really like the design but wrong size. http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/micro-art-studio/straight-edged-round-bases/25mm-round-mosaic-bases/prod_15312.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96p Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 what about a combination of cobblestones and wooden tiles ? You could for example just take the wyrdbase inserts leave the boardwalk as it is (maybe cutting of the vegetation) and glue wooden flooring onto the lower part. Maybe even some carpet made from gluesoaked fabric on top of it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayezik Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) I was thinking of doing the casino style bases. But then i got to thinking of changing the theme so more underground/black market-type gambling and then was looking more for dungeon/cellar/basement base. here is a site that I found that I really like. http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?skip=0&m=product_list&c=1210 Also, the Victorian streets by Wyrd also would work too, for the back alley type.
