INTRODUCTION This handy hobby guide contains tips on basing your Citadel Miniatures to fit with a variety of locations, from the frigid wastes of an arctic tundra to dense Lustrian undergrowth. We present eight guides in all, giving you plenty of new base styles to try out and showing you how to get the most out of Citadel Texture Paints. CITADEL TEXTURE PAINTS Citadel Texture Paints are designed to give striking results on the bases of your Citadel miniatures, with a minimum of fuss and bother. To apply them either use an old paint brush, or the new spatula in the Citadel Sculpting Tool set. The spatula is especially good – it’s a little flexible, has a small enough tip to get into small areas, and can be wiped clean. To use it, scoop some Texture Paint out of the pot (1), and then spread it evenly around the base (2). It’s a bit like icing a cake. Finally, use the spatula to ‘pucker’ the Texture Paint a little,

so that it isn’t too smooth (3).

You can use this technique in the following eight painting guides, which were suggested by the Studio Hobby team.

GRASS TUFTS The Citadel range includes a number of ways to add extra detail to your bases. Applying Middenland Tufts or Mordheim Turf to your bases is really easy, and makes them look much better. To apply these tufts to your models only requires two stages. First, place a dab of PVA Glue on the spot where you want them to sit on the base. Secondly, press the tuft down firmly onto the glue and hold it for about twenty seconds. Once it is fixed in place, put the model aside to dry for a few hours. You only require one or two tufts per base to get a really great effect.
