As requested, here's my IG army. I know that the stuff that actually is painted isn't painted very well! Perhaps it will give you all a bit of a chuckle!

As a teenager I had very limited monetary supplies. This explains the blobby Rhinos (aka Predators), and the crude rapiers. My friend built the Leviathan from some kind of modelling clay. I still think he did a really good job of it. Having recently returned to the game - and now armed with more favourable finances - I've started picking up a lot of stuff from ebay and if I spot a leviathan or two going at a reasonable price I'll be hoping to pick them up! |

Hey Nice collection of old stuff their and yes, a very clever Leviathan. How about a bit of neat flock perhaps ? A good neat base makes even just base coated minis look good. Thanks for sharing. |

Thanks chaps! @Dogtrooper: I had a very bad experience with flock years ago and ended up with Marines that looked like they were half-buried in a mound of Smarties. Since then, I've tried to avoid using the "f"-word. I did invest in some GW forest green paint so once I've finished painted everything, the stands will look a bit better than they do at the moment. I'll post up another pic to this thread once I'm done! Cheers! |

Nice old-school look of your army for flocking: try sand -paint glue onto base -dig base into sand -wait until its dry -paint watered down glue over sand -drybrush sand or wash it -done |

Also with flock or sand it's good to use a water-based glue (I use plain old Elmer's). This is because if you do run into the situation you described, you can take a wet paintbrush and brush off the excess - the water will loosen the glue enough to free the basing material. |
