Began [dark forging](https://discourse.chaos-dwarfs.com/t/about-the-darkforged-2024-category/26402) my way through some more core tonight. Bases first - which feels wrong as when I use flock it’s always last. But in this project it makes no difference and I fancied painting some lava!

I’ve developed a speed paint technique for these bases that I should probably share at some point… [maybe another one of my speed painting tutorials?](https://discourse.chaos-dwarfs.com/t/streaking-grime-speedpaint-a-beginners-guide/24902)

@Reaver has [an excellent tutorial](https://discourse.chaos-dwarfs.com/t/lava-base-tutorial-by-reaver/536) for bases for those interested, which I used to follow quite closely except for the use of an airbrush ([which definitely feels like a tool an elf would use to paint with…](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effeminacy#:~:text=Effeminacy%20is%20the%20embodiment%20of,associated%20with%20women%20and%20girls.)) but my owns changed quite a bit over the years.
