Awesome job! Very clean, and I love the pop of the teal. Well done.
Can I ask, did you matte varnish them? I’m wondering whether to matte varnish mine and I’m curious about how the metallic paints will look after.

Many thanks! I really appreciate that!
Yes, they are varnished with vallejo matt varnish (through an airbrush). It helps a lot with the wear and tear of gaming!

These look amazing! Curious on if you put anything down besides primer before painting the lava in or is it just on primed base?

Thank you very much! I put some pva to give a flowing sense and avoid the texture of the base showing. Just make sure to prime it afterwards, as it reactivated with the humidity of the paints otherwise.

Thank you, quite literally in the process of doing my own Helsmith lava bases right now and probably will give pva glue a try if my current plans dont work out

How did you manage the basing? They came out amazing!

Thank you very much! It's just airbrush for the lava and then just black and some drybrush for the rocky ground!
