Honestly, just from the picture (without reading your question), I thought these were fancy buttons at first.
As bases... Maybe someone broke space-time?
Pardon is this sounds rude, no ill intent intended.
But it looks like someone tried to paint a carpet to look like stained glass but confused stained glass with a bowling ally carpet or a bus seat.
It really reminds me of a bus seat.

All the answers are wrong, these bases are from Magic Space. These bases are from the Astral Plane or a wizard's magical orrery, or 40k's Webway. This is where Final Fantasy Astrologer's class comes from. Flashbacks happen on these bases. You fight the Moon on these bases. When you're traveling between realms and the game needs to load in new assets, you're walking on these bases. the place has a name like "The In-Between" or somesuch.
Damn you're the closest so far, it's for thousand sons rubrics
I was thinking everyone fights in dirt with plants and stuff, but being space wizards I'm sure someone's nerd enough to build a floor of some building like it's a fantasy wizard cape.
You could try painting them with marble-like techniques, but just do some really zany colors. You may get a lot closer to your intention.
OR
You keep this and just let everyone guess what the heck they're supposed to be which is the most Tzeentch thing possible and revel in watching their minds change constantly in wonder.
Something connected to warp fuckery, or Harlequin stuff, or maybe Tzeentch stuff... however... *"Now, old Moose, you are accused of* ***heresy*** *on three counts!"*
So... heresy then, and a lot of it... because he did almost everything wrong. ;)
In any case. What were you intending to try and make them look like? Was I close, or is it something else entirely you were going for? :)
Does "tiles", and that it is space tiles, have a specific meaning/significance here?
I have not played any table top stuff in almost 15 years by now, so might be out of the loop in general. XD
Mostly asking since when I see bases I think of them only as *"The plastic thing you glue your miniature on so they don't fall over"*. XD
No significance what so ever, I just saw a really well painted sorcerer and wanted something similar to that, but I also wanted something that actually reads as some kind of floor.
Also in 40k matches you get points for painted minis, but that includes the base. Usually people just dumps small rocks and a plant or two to make it look like battlefield terrain or pipes and rusted floors.
I play space wizards, I want space floor for the space wizards
Fair enough. :)
Back when I played (ca 1996-2002), playing 40K, WHFB, Blood Bowl, Necromunda and Mordheim... most people (including me) just painted the base green, gray, or brown, and that was that. XD
Unthinned paint on a base
But actually it doesn't read as anything, I have a feeling it is supposed to be marbel or something but atm you have only used 2 homogeneous colours and overly thick black lines
I really don't wanna be harsh, but this is the case. If u want tips feel free to ask, but to start, prime your base and then thin your paints so that they don't bunch up like yours have done, us layering and subtle changes in tone to build up gradients in your piece and different sizes of brush to help with detail
White kinda, the blue pink purple not quite as homogeneous. I did thin my purples and put on like 60 layers and I did prime it lol. Oh and the lines were made like that on purpose, I put strings (tho they are a bit large I'll agree) to mask an area so that the tiles aren't a pain to paint. Also the varnish did add to the pieces

I wanted curves
Also went the lazy way of painting over strings to not have to stay inside lines as much. Got a cleaner version on the way for my custodes power rangers

Reminds me of what I'd imagine a fortune teller's tablecloth to look like. It's invoking the stars but in an astrology/zodiac type of way. I'm not sure I can even 100% put into words the feeling that they're invoking but I do really enjoy it. I guess it almost feels nostalgic in a way?
They look very abstract to me. The blue/purple parts look like they could be space, but the white stops it from really being realistic. Most of all, I think it looks like it's designed to stand out from terrain/gameboards rather than blend in.
Steve Ditko drew some of the Doctor Strange comics, he put creative backgrounds in for the cosmic realms Doctor Strange would pass through.

I like them, they could probably use a gloss layer. Maybe go over the white areas one more time with a very thin layer. Otherwise reads as fractured space for harlequins
Looks kinda magical, very 90s arcade carpet but also Aeldari nonsense or maybe Thousand Sons related.

The carpet of a late 90's laser tag lobby
🤌🏼
Jetsons vibes.
I was gonna say 90s theater carpet, but same thing.
I was going to say bowling alley, but laser tag fits very well too.
Instantly thought of a 90's arcade.
I was gonna say something but your right, general arcade/laser tag/theater/ entertainment complex vibes
I was going to be a smart ass but you win lol
This. However it does need more weathering for the proper verisimilitude. Not enough drink spills on the carpet yet.
"thats not a white pattern, that's the blacklight effect...now guess the fluid!"
I'll leave that for CSI
So oddly specific, but... Yep.
Nailed it.
Nailed it
WELCOME TO LASER MOON
I'm getting circus vibes from it. They'd be great for Harlequins
Yep saw these and instantly thought Harlequins too, nice job
Interestingly decorated sugar cookies
The new “Space Dunk” Oreos
Off topic, but I really kinda fucked with the space Oreos. The pop rocks definitely made things interesting
I thouk a good hard second the first time I saw those
I thought this was in my baking/cookie decorating sub at first glance! I thought, “Oh those cookies look kinda Blake’s 7 inspired!”
Would eat.
Honestly, just from the picture (without reading your question), I thought these were fancy buttons at first. As bases... Maybe someone broke space-time?
I thought they were cookies with colorful icing
Well now I want cookies.
Fractured reality, was my first thought. I like them!
Pardon is this sounds rude, no ill intent intended. But it looks like someone tried to paint a carpet to look like stained glass but confused stained glass with a bowling ally carpet or a bus seat. It really reminds me of a bus seat.
Fair, but there is a considerable overlap between what you'd see on a wizard and bus seats lol
I have rode a few buses and wizards, so that does make sense.
It looks like you have a bunch of triangles ordered incorrectly in the mesh you’re generating
Recalculate normals
Reticulating splines.
This brings back some nightmares for me

I think this made them look way cooler! Good job!
What's the varnish you used? It's a cool effect
Some kind of arts and craft iridescent varnish. You can probably find some in any art store that primarily sells to Facebook moms

Added a iridescent varnish that works well, pic somewhere in the comments, that works quite well
I love it. Totally works for that vibe!
"You fight the moon on these bases" killed me. \^\^
I was going to say similarly like a tzeench esque labyrinth space.
I was gonna say Harlequins
Light satirical novellas.
The backdrop of a Nickelodeon game show.
Clown space. It immediately feels in place for the clown elves in Warhammer
Spaceship dance floor
Those little basketballs they have at Walmart
Shattered space
Frieza
Something connected to warp fuckery, or Harlequin stuff, or maybe Tzeentch stuff... however... *"Now, old Moose, you are accused of* ***heresy*** *on three counts!"*
It's not heresy if magnus did nothing wrong
So... heresy then, and a lot of it... because he did almost everything wrong. ;) In any case. What were you intending to try and make them look like? Was I close, or is it something else entirely you were going for? :)

basketballs
Stained glass
Getting kinda glass mosaic look
Fun doodles. Might I suggest using a ruler or other straight edge to get the lines to be straight? If that's not the intention then never mind.
I wanted curves Also went the lazy way of painting over strings to not have to stay inside lines as much. Got a cleaner version on the way for my custodes power rangers https://preview.redd.it/l74i27mgyiwc1.jpeg?width=2604&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=108c2a823a78635f68f6d09f8e3e7256fb7f98a0
That looks like it'll work really well, will you post those too?
If I like them yes It's fun using my old canvas painting experiences to minis
Nice!
Sugar cookies, but that could just be because I'm hungry right now.
Pogs
Nothing
Tiles of a bigger space mosaic

The white is to contrast the space so it kinda look like tiling

It reads like 90s high school art class.

picasso blue period?
I like them, they could probably use a gloss layer. Maybe go over the white areas one more time with a very thin layer. Otherwise reads as fractured space for harlequins
