Step 1. Paint your eel, or you know, something else. I guess it might work without eels... I also paint the underside of the flight stand Stegadon Scale Green. This is useful later, don’t want to see any black plastic through it!

Steps 2 - 5. Build up some land. I’ve used texture paint and bits of slate. I like my Deepkin to look like they are coming from the sea, not going towards it, so I tend to place the land towards the front of the base. Base it grey, nuln the hell out of it, then drybrush to taste.

Step 6. Cover the black plastic in Vallejo Transparent Water. Don’t worry too much about shape just know, focus on covering the plastic up.

Step 7. One thick coat (sorry @Two_Thin_Coats) of Stegadon Scale Green over the water texture.

Step 8. Glaze Ahriman Blue towards the land. Do this 3 or 4 times, smaller areas each time. Don’t worry about getting a perfect blend or anything though, it’s not necessary here.

Step 9. Cover the water in Vallejo Still Water. This is a clear liquid, so just make sure everything is covered, then leave it alone for a good few hours.

Step 10. Back to the Transparent Water gel. Now work to build up waves, I use an old brush, and a sort of twisting motion. Do 3 or 4 rounds of this, to build up the disturbance around the land, to give a bit more energy to the appearance. Again, a few hours to dry between goes.

Step 11. Thin some water down a little, but don’t have too much on your brush. Pick out edges or areas of froth with a drybrush / stipple approach.

Step 12. Give the whole thing a final layer of still water. It’ll look a bit weird till it dries, but just go with it! Then paint your rim (black, or, I guess, something else...) and you’re done! One watery base!

I wouldn’t say it’s particularly difficult, there’s a fair bit of waiting for stages to dry, and the water effect will destroy brushes, so save some old ones for it! I’ve done it a bunch of times now though, definitely gets easier each time!

@tsukuru_paints Great thread and tutorial Scott, thanks for sharing #WarhammerCommunity #AoS

@BenJohnson0013 Thanks! Happy to share it, glad folk seem to be finding it useful 😊

@tsukuru_paints They look phenomenal! 😍🌊

@__NatJay__ Thanks! Kind of sad to be (maybe) finished project Deepkin now!

@tsukuru_paints Such a good thread. Book marked and had a go myself - not as good as yours by a stretch but I’m happy. Thanks for sharing your method!

@GrahamTopham Looks good! Definitely for a first try too, my first few didn’t turn out that well haha

@tsukuru_paints Excellent process, and great photos too!

@Greenstuffnglue Thanks!

@Straylight87 @ArchaonA Pleasure!

@tsukuru_paints This is awesome! I will have to find something to try this on Nicely done

@LadasJames Thanks!

@tsukuru_paints wtf dude, what a bases!!

@ManuCGila Thanks 😊

@tsukuru_paints Damn I have to try this, the bases look so damn good 👀

@GraphaGaming Thanks! I recommend giving it a go!

@tsukuru_paints Thanks !!! 💖

@PuyoP0P Pleasure!

@tsukuru_paints This is awesome! Bookmarked for later (much later...) when I eventually get round to building and painting Deepkin! Thanks ever so much for taking the time to explain your method!

@Beithir My pleasure!

@tsukuru_paints Wow im stealing this idea but with lighter colors for my synthwave "Miami ViceCrons"

@ALL_CPS_SPOOKY Go for it! It’s not that hard to do, just takes a bit of waiting around while stages dry...
