I just have to say that the new texture paints are ridiculous, kind of weird when you first start playing with it. Here's a hint, you don't paint it, it's more like pushing it around (its VERY thick). Super amazing and a little goes a long way once you get it going.

Go try some out! (perfect for basing 50+ Gants, takes no time!)

FOR THE SWARM!!!!!!

PVA and sand from my back garden is good enough for me. I can imagine it would ruin brushes quickly but you couldn't use an old basecoating brush since it would be too big. Not worth it, IMO.

Here are some urban bases I did for my Tau army a while back:

Havent gotten a chance to try them, the Idea is interesting for new people but for people who have been doing this for years will probably stick to what they know and will just play with it down the road.
Another tool in the bag is always awesome and im sure down the line Ill pick some up.

Cost wise:
Think $3.75 a bottle, I spent $4 on Cork Board, $1 PVA glue and free sand and i have yet to use up all the Cork Board and pva glue and I've base a entire army.

I am liking the new texture paints. They don't give an awesome texture or anything, but they do give a good effect and are very quick. I'm thinking I'll use them for my Tyranids, it's what I used for the slime bases that I posted in this thread...

thetyranidhive.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=painting&action=display&thread=38355

And I also gave a brief rundown on my thoughts and opinions over at Lustria Online...

Astrogranite

Nuln Oil

Light Grey (Adeptus Battlegrey pictured, but its actually a mix of Adeptus and Astronomicon)

Finished base...
