A lot of people have asked me how I do my water bases.The pic
below shows the stuff you need to make a water base.
NOTE: I haven't included a mini on a base because I felt that
was ratherobvious.
1. The parts of the base where there's not supposed to be water
arecovered with PVA glue. Some sand and a couple of rocks are
added.
2. Apply a thick layer of PVA glue where you want the "water".
Leave todry (preferably over night).

3. Undercoat the rocks and "water" with black. Base coat the
other areaswith a colour of your choice (I used Scorched Brown for
this base).
4. Drybrush the non-water areas (except the rocks). I used
BestialBrown followed by Snakebite Leather.
5. Paint the rocks grey (I used Codex Grey) and the water blue
(I usedStorm Blue)
6. Drybrush the rocks with a lighter grey (Fortress Grey) and
paint someripples in the water with a lighter blue (I used
Lightning Blue followedby Skull White).
7. Paint the water with some thinned down dark blue (Storm Blue)
andleave to dry before carefully applying a thick layer of clear
nail polish.Paint the rim of the base.
Voila, the finished base. You can use other colours for the
water, or evenmake an all water base.
