Da Mek's Workshop - Basing ideas


I thought I'd pass on some ideas for jazzing up your miniatures bases by showing you two of the bases for some Wrathguard that I am currently working on. 

These miniatures are going to be used in part of a 40K tournament that I'm taking part in February 2015.  As such I wanted to make some of them look a little more dynamic, so after raiding my bits box this is what I came up with...


This Guardsmen lies injured on the base, grenade in hand ready to make one final act of valour by trying to take out a Wrathguard.  I had to do some remodelling on the left arm (with some Green stuff  added later to fill the gaps).  The gunshot wounds were made with a pin drill. 

Here's the finished base with the Wrathguard on it. 

This Wrathguard perches on a discarded Space Marine helmet.  I got the inspiration from the shot in Terminator 2 when a T-800 crushes a human skull underfoot.   

 
4 of the 5 Wrathguard finished!

It was relatively easy to add these small details to the bases and I'll post some photos on the finished results once they have been painted.  As the rest of my Eldar are based on snow themed bases then these will follow suit.
