Tutorial for Cracked Earth Bases for Titans

Cracked and dried earth bases provide a very amazing look to any base.  But as you get to large models (and none come larger than the Titans) it becomes a much harder effect to create that is both durable and looks right.  David offered this up to his fellow Titan owners:

This is the materials used to give wood the cracked effect-

The wood base + detritus : warhound base used for picture-

Application of cracking medium -

Painting with B&Q Martian Ironearth matched paint -

Ryza Rust on detritus -

Finished bases with a Agrax Earthshade wash -

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tutorial and the bases look great.  - T.O.C.
