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 its 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). Its a bit like icing a cake. Finally, use
the spatula to pucker the Texture Paint a little,

so that it isnt too smooth (3).

You can use this technique in the following eight painting

guides, which were suggested by the Studio Hobby team.

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.
