The Wraith......
So new project.
As stated this will be an on-going sci-fi mini listing as I go.
I will state that, NO, I haven’t done the bases yet. This is because 1) I’m crap at basing, 2) I am uncertain if I want them in a)clear bases, b) the sci-fi mdf bases (from miniature scenery that I have quite a few of) or c) a generic sci-fi base covering….. I kinda want something that will easily blend in with H.I.N.T., H.I.N.T. BABH, Core Space, and maybe Infinity ( still haven’t decided if I want to play this one, but I do like a lot of the mini’s)
The First few posts will be the infinity minis that I have before I start to tackle the H.I.N.T mini’s
Any basing suggestions would be most welcome!
