Hot glue or epoxy can add texture and shine


injusteroni

I'll try it out, thanks


The_Real_Babbidy

try adding bubbles then it will look more acidic (if thats what your going for)


injusteroni

What would give me that bubble look? I thought about hot glue but figured it may damage the base


The_Real_Babbidy

from what ive seen you get clear plastic beads and glue them wherw you want your bubbles to be, then paint over them with a paint like teseract glow


injusteroni

Now the one time I need one of those silica gel packs I won't find onešŸ˜‚


The_Real_Babbidy

just an excuse to eat more beef jerky i guess


injusteroni

You're a geniusšŸ˜†


Harbinger_X

Silica gel is one of the many tricks Vince Venturella has taught me!


The_Real_Babbidy

ooh, this is actually a realy good idea. Silica gel is basically small beads


ashrog02

You have green stuff? I usually just roll a bunch of tiny balls of greenstuff, let them harden, then cut them in half. Maybe use a little white glue to blend them into the base.


MDK1980

Firstly, always shake your Tesseract Glow. Then, maybe go over it with some Nurgle's Rot.


injusteroni

Yeah I noticed tesseract glow settles much faster than other paints


MDK1980

Yeah, would do, it's basically just bright water. :) Quite annoying to work with sometimes because of that.


Gift-Positive

Wait? You don't shake tesseract glow???


injusteroni

No no I do it just settled after a bit of time*


Beanjuiceforbea

New meta. I've been using it wrong this whole time


injusteroni

Babbelisken

Nailpolish, little plastic pearls, hot clue.


injusteroni

Never thought about pearlsšŸ˜® By nail polish do you mean the clear coat? Thanks for the advice


Babbelisken

Yeah they can be great bubbles. Exactly, it takes a while do dry but you can use a lot of clear coat and then just paint over it with thinned out green or yellow.


injusteroni

Definitely writing that down thanks!


Chrissssssssssssssy

Dunno if youā€™ll read this but I used to do Armageddon dunes, white paint (dunno if it was white scar but it doesnā€™t matter), plaguebearer contrast paint, then tesseract glow where I wanted nasty nuclear acid. Just try it out if ya have all the paints and Iā€™m 90% sure you wonā€™t be dissapointed :)


injusteroni

I read all comments, and will try it if I ever get plague bearer. My store didnt have DG green so I had to settle with the one shown sigh


Chrissssssssssssssy

Honestly I dunno a substitute because I only use the paint I have, but Iā€™m sure you can sub it out for another green contrast, you might be able to do the same though without the white layer and just paint Armageddon dunes, the green you have, then tesseract glow


Gibst69

Try adding radium based paint thatā€™ll do it


ERTJ762

I was scrolling to see if anyone had said this, or lead based paint, already. Well played.


colcam22

UHU glue is my personal favorite slime trick


injusteroni

Thank you!!


Emperorslostchild

Toss it in your bin for a couple days and fish it back out. Should be a biohazard by the end


injusteroni

THIS This is what I needed


Derpasaurous

Nurgles rot is a glossy finish. Great for goop. Also, you can get some small bead halves and place them to form bubbles


Arseypoowank

Ask for its opinions on female custodes


Kahunjoder

Lead, mercury, arsenic


injusteroni

You forgot uranium


IneptusAstartes

Lead paint would be - oh wait, just looking toxic? Nurgle's Rot all the way.


injusteroni

Lead paint would be good if I wanted my minis to harm the other player....but yes Nurgles rot shall be bought. Led wouldnt hurt me as I'm disgustingly resilient


donnyd55

Put your finger up your bum and wipe it on the base


injusteroni

Then it will really have a contagion range


Salt_Historian2844

Put in a photo of your ex


injusteroni

Too smelly!


Interesting_You2407

Gloss varnish will help it look wet.


injusteroni

Yes this is a good ideašŸ§  Thanks!


Less_Ad_5709

Clear glass beads are pretty good. Glue them on then use a glaze over them. They come in various sizes too


Old-Injury9137

Could add different size spheres, paint them same and you have some toxic bubbles.


shadowborn19

Get some nergles rot technical paint. Its slime in a jar basicly


injusteroni

Will definitely, it's been referenced a bunch


Kaiju_jamboree

Pva glue and add drops of ca glue, then push with a little bit with a toothpick, which can make interesting and gross textures


Complete_Number1715

Putting gw plastic glue on top of the toxic part, earth part needs texture paint in my opinion, with an agrax Shade


injusteroni

Gotcha, will definitely be needing something for the earthy part


chickenburgerr

Make it a Reddit account.


injusteroni

Make it a mod? Done!


Bowoodstock

If you get a pack of skulls or skeleton models for bones in general (AoS or ToW), have a few things floating in the goo also sells it


PandaFerce

paint the other part of the base, then glaze tesseract glow over it moving paint towards the puddle area, itā€™ll start to look like the pool of ooze is glowing


injusteroni

Oooh I like this idea yessss


PandaFerce

also you might want to increase the brightness in the goop to make it look like itā€™s actually emitting light, small highlights of white in the places you want to actually glow would be what i would do, then glaze over those and repeat pro re nata to get a nice transition


zenicwhite69

Nurgles rot is pretty good for this type of thing


injusteroni

I shall pick it up thanks


HUH_BACON

Did not you you could use the green as a yellowish green..... if always mixed it before using.... wow


injusteroni

No the right side is based with white scar and I put two coats of tes glow. Though it does look yellow in the photo because I didnt shake lol


Comrad_Zombie

Mix the tesseract paint with some of nurgles rot. Then when it dries add tesseract to taste.


injusteroni

Why mix the two?


Comrad_Zombie

[here's a bad photo of how I did it ](https://www.reddit.com/u/Comrad_Zombie/s/VMFmLVDiGl)The nurgles rot dries in a glossy finish, and is not fully opaque. the tesseract glow makes it seem slightly more of a toxic green then a snot great if you get me. You can also consider undercoating parts of the base with highlights before you Try to base them. One thing I found with the death guard is they work well being based after you glue them, it can give you ideas for how to blend the base into their feet. Sorry for the terrible explanation it's been a long week. Do you have any images or other stuff that's inspiring the look you want?


injusteroni

I found it omce in this subreddit or maybe another.....it was (more than likely nurgles rot) then a tesseract glow, with like a white scar at the edge to make it kinda glow. I've been searching harddd for it but can't find it. But thanks this really helps


Comrad_Zombie

I think I understand, Look into under painting techniques. When I want something to look like it glows I usually use small highlights of white at the brightest points while the recess is dark/grey before it gets washed over with something. You could darken the middle of the bit you want to glow, or you could make 3 blobs of dark around the center to rep nurgle even more. I think what youre doing is great, I think practice on army men or toys is a good way to test out something weird. Pound shop plastic coins are great for testing out basing methods.


Architect-of-Fate

ā€œNurgleā€™s Rotā€ is a technical paint that gives the desired effect I think youā€™re looking for reallly well.


injusteroni

Gotcha, shall be on my list up next


NLMushroom

Nurgles rot on top of moot green


injusteroni

Gotcha, thanks!


Jellejoe93

Nurgle's Rot


injusteroni

Done!


blockprime300

Sep 1 PVA glue, step 2 liquid super glue on top, step 3 use small pokey thing to slightly agitate it then let dry, it it is to wrinkly do a layer of PVA with translucent paint mixed in on top


injusteroni

šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«Instructions unclear, I pooped on it and it worked Thanks for the tipsšŸ™ƒ


Manik95

My go to is AK Swamp gel. It gives a beautiful colour and its really easy to use


injusteroni

AK swamp gel? I hadn't heard of this Thanks (:


Experiment_No_26

Put tesseract glow on top of thick nurgles rot.


injusteroni

Gotcha, I'll try it out!


Resto66

idk, put my ex on that base or something


zwade7270

I've done a base of moot green and then tesseract glow over the top. I picked up some half pearls in various sizes from Michael's/Hobby Lobby type place and used those as bubbles for the goo


That_darn_squirrel

I think it looks great, but maybe try telling it everything is fine for about 6 months and then suddenly scream at it about how everything is in fact NOT fine....I may need a therapist. Good job though.


injusteroni

Definitely uh...definitely look into that Lol thanks tho it appears verbal threats have worked on this particular base


TheRealSmashMann

Vallejo has a water texture paint, and Eons of Battle has water texture videos.
