What order of assembly/painting is generally liked?
I just painted my first minis, and am now basing them and trying to drybrush the bases, and finding it quite hard. Wondering if there are better ways people suggest or other approaches.
Was wondering about airbrush priming the base but feel like i’ll just spray all over their feet then?
Or even tearing it apart to reassemble?
All help welcome!

Either airbrush with very diluted color and if you screw up a bit, you can transform it into dust on the model. I would have suggested dry brush It would be safer- but it does not seem to work for you. Also there are some dry pigments you can put on the base to make it look dusty, you can use a make up brush for that

What would you recommend as a standard order? Ignoring my mess of a process
assemble, make bases, prime, paint?
Or do the base and the mini separately?

For my Taus, I did the base aside, then the figurine aside and then assembled and linked all.
I find it easier, as I tend to do complicated bases.

Right, but for say 60 boyz

However, I have a second hand army to paint already assembled, I tend to prepare the base and the fig, prime all. Paint the figurine and then the base

How do you plan where the feet will go? So it looks like it works

It use epoxy / green stuff to take their footprints ^^ or I prepare the base accordingly.
See here ?
You can see where I prepared the footprint
When I create a base it is for a dedicated figurine to each one is created accordingly. It is long but I like it that way. For larger armys , I would tend to do less of that I think

Impressive. Yeah the back foot, has like a mould/print around. Nice
Maybe a little unsustainable for a whole army
