And base can add a lot of value of character and story to your miniature project. Having base in a grim ambiance (and since I am making it for Vampire Hunter) this was a perfect occasion for adding a mystic accent. This little inner glowing raven. Do you like basing materials and vegetation, I know we do. It all gives details needed to make your base more uni...
