The GSW Volcanic Basing Set is the ultimate all-in-one hobby supply drop designed to give your wargaming miniatures a cinematic, blisteringly hot environment to conquer or defend.
Many hobbyists avoid lava bases because they think blending realistic, glowing molten rock turns into a muddy, flat mess. This mega-set obliterates the learning curve! Packed with heavy-duty textures, specialized Object Source Lighting (OSL) inks, literal "flaming" gel effects, and burnt foliage, you have every weapon you need to craft jaw-dropping volcanic warzones right out of the box.
Why This Belongs on Your Wargame Bench:
-
All-in-One Hellfire Reinforcements: No need to hunt down separate crackle pastes, neon pigments, or obsidian rocks. This bundle completely equips your workspace to build everything from blasted asphalt trenches to flowing rivers of liquid magma.
-
The Molten Earth Cheat Code: Features Badlands Crackle Paint and Asphalt Ground Texture. Apply the crackle paint over a bright orange basecoat, and watch it dry into beautifully fractured, charred tectonic plates that look like they are floating on liquid fire!
-
Blinding, Radioactive Glow: Harness the power of high-intensity OSL White, Hydromiel Yellow, and Phoenix Orange inks alongside Fluor Orange Pigment to create the illusion of intense heat radiating upward onto your miniature's armor and boots.
-
Three-Dimensional Liquid Lava: Ditch flat orange paint. Use the specialized Flaming Red and Flaming Orange Splash Gels to sculpt actual churning waves, bursting bubbles, and flowing currents of glowing magma.
-
Scorched, Defoliated Landscapes: Bring the hostile environment to life with Burnt grass tufts and 14mm Hellhole Red thorny scrubs to represent aggressive, ash-choked flora that thrives in fire.
💡 Wargamer Pro-Tips for Victory
🌋 The Ultimate Cracked Lava Base: Paint the center of your base with bright yellow and orange acrylics. Once dry, slather a thick layer of Badlands Crackle Paint over the top. As it dries and splits, the bright "molten" colors will peek through the dark, jagged crust! 💡 Master the Object Source Lighting (OSL) Glow: To make your models look like they are standing over an intense heat source, take a tiny bit of the White OSL Intensity Ink and glaze it onto the lowest points of the miniature (like the underside of greaves or cloaks). Follow up with a thin glaze of Phoenix Orange ink to create a jaw-dropping, realistic upward light cast! 🪨 Build Jagged Obsidian Cliffs: Tear up the included Cork Sheets and stack them to create jagged rock steps or cliff faces. Coat them in the Asphalt Texture and dust them with Anthracite Black Pigment to build realistic, ash-covered volcanic rock structures for your heroes to stand on.
