Battlefield Basing Set for Model Paint Set & Warhammer 40K

This looks quite large from the product images, it isn't. It also looks like it has a lot included, it does not. However. While I was a little disappointed by the contents, they are more than adequate as a starter point for basing models or figures. You get five small clip bags of materials for basing, a small box of grassy tufts and a tube of basing glue. The booklet that comes with it has a two page article for basing and the rest is devoted to painting and staining. Honestly I think they could have gone a step further and provided a more comprehensive guide for basing, especially as this is likely to be bought for beginners. But, such as it is, there's something to be getting on with. In addition to this set, you will need either a multi part container or a small plastic container, and a tray. Using these materials will make a small mess. You won't want to be wasting any of the materials supplied or covering a rug/carpet with the stuff. The small container - a petri dish or similar - is so you can pour a bit of the material out which will make it much easier to coat the base of your model or figure. The tray is so you can catch any material that separates, falls off or otherwise gets out of the dish. This way you can catch the material, and pour it back in the bag. This is a nice set for starting on basing, and a good way to get into the art. This set won't answer all needs for basing materials, but it does offer a good beginning. The guide similarly offers a starter concept and shows you how to go about basing your figures. This material is almost identical to the sort of materials you can get for scenic modelling for railways. So if you want more, or different materials, you should be able to find them without trouble. Don't be put off because the label says "model railway" or similar. It's all the same stuff. If you want long wavy grass for your model or figure, you'll need to search for static grass as this uses a static applicator and strands to offer that solution. This set only comes with a few tufts of grass - which is fine for most purposes. Again, you can get more of this sort of thing pretty much anywhere that sells model trains. The last bag in the set contains lichen - again commonly available to railway scenic modelling - which can be used for a wide variety of purposes. About the only thing that is extremely scarce are trees, most of the available trees are scaled to fit in with HO railway scenics, as opposed to the 28mm that most gaming figures come in. For that you will have to be a bit more creative. As a start, you can use twigs from the garden for logs and suchlike when basing. To be honest, I purchased this out of curiosity more than anything, as I already have a large collection of scenic scatter and items, and I was interested to see what the Army Painter people were supplying. I have a deal of respect for the Army Painter people as they supply excellent paints and brushes which are perfect for figure and small scale model painting. As I've said already, this set is a good set to start with, but economically, it's actually cheaper in the long run to hunt around for scenic scatter from the Railway Modeller suppliers. It's the same stuff, and you get a lot more of it.

Excellent little starter set with lots of options

Bought as a gift, I didn't receive any complaints and they were used, so we're suitable for small dnd models and 3D prints.

A really nice set that makes bases look much more detailed and unique. The variety of materials are good but the portions aren’t massive. The PVA glue is the weak point. It’s quite runny and takes a while to dry. Also worth noting the glue does not work for assembling figures. Overall a great set for basing Warhammer models

Brilliant starter pack for my figure making.

Excellent product, self adhesive works well and tufts stay together. Ideal to get you started and looks good. Very happy and great quality.

Great starter kit for any keen modler. Ideal for someone just starting to set bases for models

everything you need to transorm your bases!

The Army Painter is one of the best tools for amateur painter-gamers.

Perfekt att prova sig fram med, att få se hur det ser ut på ett diorama.

Love it, great add on, worth the price

Lovely little welcoming pack to getting into doing dioramas!

Alles zit erin. Alleen de lijm is minder sterk dan ik had verwacht.
