Coven of the Black Woods - Bases Set

Designed as the perfect scenic foundation for any coven warband operating in the blighted landscapes of an eternal holy war, this Bases Set delivers thirteen individual resin scenic bases across three sizes: eight 25mm round bases for standard infantry, four 32mm round bases for larger troopers and character models, and one 50mm round base for centrepiece creatures and command figures. Every base in the set is a fully sculpted miniature terrain piece in its own right, packed with the narrative detail of a battlefield that has been fought over, cursed and abandoned across generations of unending conflict. The coven aesthetic runs through every base in the set, with occult iconography, ritual objects and supernatural flora appearing alongside the practical detritus of industrial trench warfare. Individual bases feature carved runic tablets, stacked wooden duckboards half-submerged in mud, clusters of plague mushrooms, sandbag emplacements, scattered ammunition and supplies, twisted corrupted tree stumps, scattered skulls and bones, coiled ritual totems, fallen equipment and what appears to be a seated daemonic figure on the large 50mm base surrounded by debris and occult implements. No two bases share the same composition, ensuring a naturally varied and organic appearance when the full set is ranked up together on the table. The 50mm centrepiece base is the standout of the set, featuring a richly detailed scene with a crouching daemonic attendant figure surrounded by scattered gear, ruined equipment and battlefield debris, making it an ideal foundation for a coven champion, summoned creature or large character model. The 32mm bases carry stronger individual scenic elements such as standing runic pillars and detailed supply caches, while the 25mm bases provide clean but characterful ground textures with spot details that complement rather than compete with the models placed upon them. This set is designed specifically to complement the full coven warband range, with the scenic details, ground textures and occult elements across all thirteen bases sharing a unified visual language that ties an entire force together into a coherent and immersive narrative collection when fully painted and fielded. Supplied as thirteen unpainted, unassembled resin bases across 25mm, 32mm and 50mm sizes, this Coven Bases Set is an essential purchase for any hobbyist looking to elevate their warband with display-quality scenic foundations throughout. Painting Guide: Bases Set The Coven Bases Set rewards a consistent ground palette applied across all thirteen bases simultaneously, with individual spot colour details on occult objects and supernatural elements providing visual variety within a unified scheme. 1. Prime Prime all thirteen bases together with grey spray for a consistent neutral foundation, ensuring the varied surface textures across mud, wood, stone and bone elements all receive equal primer coverage before any paint is applied. 2. Armour Base Basecoat all ground and mud surfaces across every base in Rhinox Hide, then drybrush up through Gorthor Brown and Baneblade Brown to Karak Stone on the highest texture points for a consistent churned battlefield earth appearance across the set. Paint all wooden duckboard and timber elements in Dryad Bark drybrushed with Gorthor Brown and Baneblade Brown, keeping the wood tones slightly warmer than the surrounding mud to create clear material differentiation. 3. Trim and Details Paint all bone, skull and carved runic stone elements in Rakarth Flesh washed with Agrax Earthshade and highlighted to Pallid Wych Flesh, keeping bone tones consistent across all thirteen bases as a unifying visual thread through the set. Apply Agrax Earthshade as a general wash across all ground surfaces on every base to unify the earth tones and push shadow into texture recesses, then follow with Nuln Oil in the deepest mud depressions and around the base of all vertical elements. 4. Weapons Paint all scattered equipment, ammunition and metal debris across the bases in Leadbelcher washed with Nuln Oil and Typhus Corrosion for a heavily corroded abandoned battlefield equipment appearance. Add subtle green OSL glow emanating from mushroom caps and runic carved surfaces using thinned Moot Green over Warboss Green to suggest active coven supernatural energy still present in the ground itself. 5. Weathering Apply Stirland Mud or Agrellan Earth texture paint into low-lying areas around base edges and between duckboard planks on all relevant bases to add genuine texture depth and wet mud appearance that photography captures beautifully. Seal all mud and ground surfaces with a satin varnish and apply gloss varnish selectively to pooled low areas on every base to simulate standing water, keeping the sheen localised rather than covering the entire base surface. 6. Bases Finish the base rims consistently across all thirteen in Abaddon Black or a dark brown such as Rhinox Hide, then add sparse tufts of dead yellow grass and pale dried moss on the larger bases only to avoid overcrowding the smaller 25mm surfaces, completing the blighted no man's land aesthetic that ties the entire coven warband collection together.
