RE: Painting Beli'Al
I've always like the idea of clear bases & the way the SoB miniatures will come
(no slots or pegs-just straight glue to the base) make it a good fit.

BUT the number of bases needed for all the SoB figs.& the different sizes make the cost impractical.

Forum.

RE: Painting Beli'Al (SoB)
Why would you use Clear bases over the bases included for the game? Just curious.

Would any of you consider doing a quick video of your painting technique whenever you finally get the stuff in hand and start painting? I've got some of the basics down but a lot of the techniques elude me and I do not have the benefit of knowing anyone who has painted miniatures like this for any length of time.

What? Nobody else is going to bedazzle theirs? I was even thinking of gluing on little pigtails. :-D

It's a matter of having different terrain represented on the various otherworld and mine tiles, and then having mismatched terrain modeled onto your figure's bases.

It's purely aesthetic. Having a gunslinger with a sandy mine-modeled base walking through the snowy hall of the Targa Plateau, or the high-tech corridors of the Derelict Ship draws attention to the fact that the base doesn't match the locale.

It's a small detail, but some painters and modellers are sticklers about that kind of thing.

.

It really depends on how you feel about bases.
Some people just leave them black, some really
pimp them up with gravel/bits of scenery or just
paint them up the color of the Game Mat/Board
the miniatures will be used on.

The advantage of clear bases is that they will show
whatever color the Game Tile/Board is so it gives
the illusion you don't really have a base.

Thus in SoB when your Hero goes from the brownish
mine Tile to Another World a whitish Tile for the Targa Plateau
it makes a natural look.

Alas the Clear Tiles in the # required for SoB isn't really
an option moneywise(for me).I'll probably do the
Heroes & wandering monster types in brownish colors
& the monsters only appearing in the Other worlds in
the color of there tiles.
