Nice one Austin! I'm going to go give this a try myself, who is with me?!

[GlobbitsGaming]

A pre Mordant Earth effort, i salute the dedication to painting all the raised areas 😮😮😮

[CollinBuckman]

Citadel actually released a new texture paint called Mordant Earth that does the same crack effect as Martian Ironearth but in black

[ARodriguezt]

Best method I’ve seen so far. Effects like this are such a pain in the ass for me.

[gingerfreakstudio]

To make it even more easy and quick. Once you applied the texture paint, do not let it dry but spray a layer of black paint directly on top of the fresh texture paint. Let it dry and you are done !

I've never seen anyone make a lava base like this. Very cool Austin!

If you want to speed up the process of painting the tiles black drastically, apply the black paint to a flat spongy surface and simply dap the surface gently, this easily cuts 5-10 minutes of each base. I take a melamine foam sponge and cut it into a smaller piece so i have better control of the process.

Thanks for this, I was wanting to paint my avatar of khaine in warhammer 40k as a kind of volcano god and this is super helpful

I don’t know how I’ve missed this one. I do lava bases for my world eaters army and this is by far the best results I’ve seen. It got me out of bed to try a few of them, hopfully my result is as good as yours and the wait was worth it. I’ll check back in and let you know how it went for me

Great looking base! If you dab a 50/50 mix of black wash + black paint after the texture paint has dried a bit, the crackle pulls the wash apart and you get a similar effect but don’t have to paint each bit after. I tried it with agrellion earth and it works pretty good. I bet the red texture paint would look even better. Great video!

[IronAndy]

I tried this effect on my own a few months back prior to finding this video. It did not turn out. I'm excited to try again now knowing you need to wait a full day between coats. Your videos are easy to follow and straight to the point. I love it. Keep up the good work.

I learned something from this. So I subscribed. Thumbs uped.

[yoyoyo]

this is really good! wow would be great for a huge monster or the balrog!

[Robzilla]

Great job, especially the consistency of the width of the gaps used, superb.

[SpazFrag]

Great tutorial! I much prefer the Martian Ironearth to Mordan earth for this. I think the orange sides of the cracked parts give the lava an extra effect that brings it all together really nicely.
Can't wait to make these for my World Eaters army.

[bevanlangford]

Awesome! Always happy to see new techniques, especially for fire/lava hot surfaces. I struggle to get an effect I like.

[tyger]

I love it! I’m going to use this but with green, make it a nether kind of base

[scottthemachinepaintedmini]

So if I use dark blue, med and light. Then Apply the stuff would I then be able to paint the sections white giving me an ice style base. Also considered greens with a glow for a toxic spill.😁

[celp]

Starting my very first army! Gonna be doing Druhkari and I'm gonna use this method but do a green lava using this method😍😍😍

[shawnaladelpha]

What bases do you use? I like how they are textured.
