The project formerly known as 'Prepping Maggie for Battle'
Done!
Annnnnd there she is: freshly glued onto her new base. As you may have seen in an earlier picture, I actually drilled holes into the base and was planning to pin Maggie to it. Somehow the metal of the mini was too hard for my drill, however, and I had to give up. So, I hope I added enough glue for her to stay in place for a bit. I think that the texture of the terrain will add some extra grip.
You may have noticed that I secretly painted Maggie as well, while working on the base. I went for a very simple colour scheme, topped off with a layer of dip. I’m very happy with how that turned out.
Now, the project was actually about finding a suitable base for my Maghariba Guard. I really like the whisky tin base for the mini, since it’s also made of metal, which adds a more sturdy feel to it and shifts the balance of the miniature just a bit downward when picking it up.
As noted before, I’ve got another whisky tin base lying around. With its 100mm diameter, I think it might be a good size for a kitbashed mech I’m thinking about building for Gamma Wolves. You’ll see it once I start building it!
So now it’s done, I just have to wait for the lockdown here to loosen up a little, so I can bring her to my next Infinity game against my brother and, hopefully, get my revenge!
