Hey guys, I brought some Dwarf models off Kiwi and also got a large dwarf army on its way. It got me thinking what I was going to do with the bases.

I decided to do a stone mosaic. The easiest way I thought to do this was to some how buy some sticky paper and stick it onto each base.

I went to my local stationary shop and brought some A4 paper that was just like one giant label!
Lucky, it was on special, 20 sheets for $7, half price! It was ment to be....

Got home and found a stone mosaic that I liked

Opened it up with photoshop, changed it to the size that was relevant, copy and pasted it so it filled up an A4 canvas size and printed out a colourless draft copy to see if it looked ok. It did!

Printing it out in colour, high quality I have now got sticky lables with stone mosaic sitting in front of me. All I need to to now is cut out base sized sections and stick it onto my guys bases :D

You could do it with any kind of image you could find on the internet. Google image search FTW. Very cheap way to get some great looking custom bases. Just thought I would share :)

The more I look at this, the more I think it would look really cool on a High Elf army.
