How to paint lava bases for miniatures : New and Updated Tutorial!

We already had a great lava base tutorial, but newer paints are available since it was made - a black technical crackle paint, and a whole new range of Fanatic Paints that crush the original Warpaints we used.

Check out this insanely fast and fun way to smash out lava bases for Warhammer, DnD or any miniature you want!

"I'm risking my life!" Hands it off to the kid. That was great!

You should also be able to get some measure of control over the size of the cracks by using a gloss varnish before adding the crackle paint, more gloss = bigger cracks

I've been using the red crackle paint until now and painting it black. No idea Mordant Earth existed. Awesome video, as always.

Best lava base I've ever seen! I'll have to try that for one of my future Kill Teams from Warhammer!

Amazing as always. I do really like this style of base, though currently I'm doing a frozen version. I've been using Thunderbird blue, plasmatic bolt, and voidshield blue to give a cryogenic feel for the underlayer, and then dry brushing with a very light grey followed by a lighter dry brush of white. Doing that for my Votann and Space wolves.

Awesome video I have only started doing Warhammer 40k painting again this year since way back in the late 80s/90s. Spray painting bit properly made me laugh :D

Thank you for this personal video. I recommend trying a varnish (gloss) over the lava paint before applying the crackle paint.

Great to see this being done, thank you. Saw an example of the final product in a shop, it is exactly the effect I'm after so bought the crackle paint there and then, looking forward to actually giving it a try.

Add some Red/Orange/Yellow dry brush around the stones.

It really adds to it

Lol those video cuts are hilarious. And PSA: always risk your children’s lives before you risk your own.

This is awesome !! cant wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!!

[ComandaKronikk]

Sick this will be perfect for my CHORFS!

Elmers glue (school glue) over the area also helps make the cracks larger and more chunky

Brilliant mate. Never thought of doing an underlayer first then put crackle thingy on top. Always used it as a part of the terrain whole and paint it along with it. Great job lads, always enjoying seeing you on screen both. Happy New Year :D

that's exactly how i do the lava. keep it wet and it looks fantastic. now exchance those colors with fluor paints from green stuff world and do the highlights with a pencil. then it will be perfect.

Did you know that cameras work even while you are asleep?

Looks great btw! I've never done a lava army because I don't have a lava playmat, but this almost makes me want to get one.

[nicolassoucy]
