I made a weird base
« on: January 16, 2016, 09:01:15 PM »


I saw someone doing something similar on Facebook: searched Google for "fractal" images, chose a suitable one, printed it, laminated it, and then cut off 23mm circles. I made ten and can do a lot more.

What do you think?

Interesting idea. How shiny are they, considering that you laminated them?

Not too bad, actually. Certainly nowhere near what you'd get with a gloss varnish though not quite matte either - maybe somewhat close to what you'd get using a satin varnish?

Once I'll get a couple of minis painted and manage to put them on the bases, I'll update.

That's certainly different.

What minis will be based on these? I could see them working for Cthulu or some other weird horror (Hellraiser?) setting for sure...

As for the shininess; how about a coat or two of mat varnish?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Yes you did, it's very interesting. What are you going to use it for?

I was thinking that it could work for Daemons and Nightmares and similar extra-dimensional entities. But for these my immediate plan is actually to use them for Fae for Home Raiders. Extra-dimensional yes, but not in a sinister way. Still, them bringing some of their own dimension with them but it looking really weird in ours seems like it could work. We shall see.

I like it  :)

It could work with wizards too, to give them more of an aura of 'otherness'.
