Great scheme for lava bases. Used these with my Bloodbowl Chaos Dwarves.

I used this on pre-made resin bases.

Rock

  1. Base Black
  2. Drybrush Stone Wall Grey & Glossy Black 1:3
  3. Drybrush Stone Wall Grey
  4. Drybrush Stone Wall Grey & Off White 1:1
  5. Light Drybrush Off White

Lava

When adding the lava, you don't have to be too careful of missing the rocks as lava splashes.

  1. Base Flat Red
  2. Layer Flat Red & Dark Vermilion 1:1
  3. Layer Dark Vermilion
  4. Layer Dark Vermilion & Gold Yellow 1:1
  5. Drybrush Dark Vermilion
  6. Drybrush Gold Yellow
  7. Highlight raised areas Dark Vermilion
  8. Layer in lower areas Gold Yellow & Deep Yellow 1:1
  9. Drybrush Deep Yellow
  10. Drybrush Deep Yellow & Off White
