Tutorial - Cobblestone Bases!

Hey there! I haven't posted anything last week due to the total lack of time for myself and for my hobby, but today I give you a little tutorial about making cobblestone bases like mine!
Cobblestone bases are perfect for games set in any fantasy urban setting, would it be Mordheim, Malifaux, gdr like D&D or anything else and are also really easy to do!
So grab your bases, your tools and your green stuff (or any other putty you use) and let's start!


Simply start making a little ball of green stuff, putting it on the base you wanna use (here I used 20mm bases but any measure would work).


Then just press it against the base, making a little gs disc out of your little ball. Remember to always wet your tools when working with green stuff, otherwise it will stick everywhere making your work really hard. Once you have made the first disc simply continue adding the others, varying in size and making all a little irregular.


After some work, the base will start to take shape, just continue to fill it with gs discs untill it's full!

Once finished it will appear similar to this one! Now you just have to let it dry. If you have to make a large army with these bases, it's my suggestion to leave it like this one. Otherwise, if you want to add a little more detail, you can add drains, wood planks, ruins and everything you think it would fit onto your cobblestone base!
I've decided to add a little metal drain on my base, so I've waited for the gs to dry and then started placing a gs ball onto it!


Then I've started working it to take the drain shape. I wanted to make it square, and after a little work it wal like this!


The drain was slowly taking shape I only had to add the metal bars and some rivets and it was done!


You can add anything you like to these bases, it's pretty easy! Just look some of mine if you need inspiration:
