Basing Models with Make It Stone! Kyrlon Spray Paint?

[Whereswaldo]

I am looking to do a easy rubble / concrete basing for my necron army that would not be too time consuming.(easy color scheme, bolt gun metal followed with a black wash - flat black on weapons / vehicle hulls - dark green followed by scorpion green on eyes / glow pieces - bronze followed by a black wash on cloaks / upper hierarchy stand out bits - super easy and fast and has the necron shadowy army look). Now I am stuck on doing bases before I assemble.

I ran across http://www.krylon.com/products/make-it-stone-textured-paint/ and i think the charcoal sand followed by a heavy black wash might look decent and fit with the overall scheme.

Has anyone else used the product or think it would work?

I'd test it out first, but it sounds good to me.

I used 3 cans of this when i made my first gaming table. After 6 years of abuse it is still holding strong.

do you think the consistency of the product would work for bases? & how do you think it would look with a black wash over it?

I use this very product for all of my movement "trays" for my armies. I use tin sheets cut 1x7" and sprayed down with the brown colored stone over a krylon gray metal primer and painters touch black. It gives a lot of color and a little bit of texture, which looks nice but also is thin enough texture to let my magnets of my based models stick really well. A single strip of movement tray holds five models with enough space to run models behind them through two gaps, so I get packed models that I can stagger but move very quickly en masse, because I'm moving five models each time I touch them. Very important for Tyranid horde armies.

As for "basing", no, I wouldn't recommend it. Just use carpenter's glue like Titebond III, and dunk in a rough mixture of sand and clay-based kitty litter. Paint watered down glue on top, spray black, and drybrush twice. It's super easy to do, and looks fantastic.
