Urban Basing Kit

There are some gaming things I buy which I later think, why on earth did I buy that! Then there are gaming things I buy which I now wish I had bought at least five times rather than just the once!

One of those things is the Urban Basing Kit which was released as part of Cities of Death. The box set contains 2 pots of slate, 2 pots of resin details and 1 pot of razorwire that can be used to decorate the bases of your miniatures or cityfight buildings. It was a limited edition and though since then Games Workshop have released a Warhammer 40k Basing Kit, personally I don’t think it is as good as the original urban basing kit.

I would have bought five, but they were very difficult to get hold of, and when I did find them, the shop only had one left…

One of the urban bases I have made using the kit was given (as per my Ork bases) a base coat of Codex Grey.

I have used the kit with various models, but for a workbench feature on my website I have been photographing a 60mm and a 40mm base. Having added some resin and slate, I added modelling sand to change and vary the texture of the base.

The 60mm base I am intending to use with an Ork Killa Kan.

Ork Stormboyz Nob

One of my Ork units I do like are my Stormboyz (even despite Simon calling them the Lipstick Boyz) however they are leaderless, until now!

Games Workshop do produce a Stormboyz Nob, however it is only available by mail order and not from their shops. So when I was up in Nottingham recently I did get the Stormboyz Nob when I visited Warhammer World. It is a nice model and will certainly give my Stormboyz mob a bit more punch.

You get a fair few parts. The main body, two arms, a head and the rokkit! The parts went together very easily. The only exception was the model was too heavy for the slottabase (and the tab was on the thin side).

So I decided to use a resin piece from my Urban Basing Kit and use a 40mm round base instead of the supplied 20mm base.

When I painted my Stormboyz I actually painted the rokkit packs separately, partly as I wanted to use light browns. With this model I have already stuck the rokkit pack to the Ork, so it will be black undercoated. However by using Foundation Paints, I am hoping that this will not be an issue.

Urban Basing Kit

Nice idea, pity it’s no longer available…

When Games Workshop released Cities of Death, they released an Urban Basing Kit. This box set contains 2 pots of slate, 2 pots of resin details and 1 pot of razorwire that can be used to decorate the bases of your miniatures or cityfight buildings.

I managed to get one of the kits, which sadly was a limited edition and is now no longer available. I first created a large 40mm round base.

I then tried a 60mm Dreadnought base.
