The only ideas I have so far are as follows:

1. I've read about people using cotton balls that they've teased out. However, I feel this might look cheap at best. At worst, the consensus seems to be that this is prone to damage and doesn't last too long.

2. Custom bases, that I can cast copies of. They'd be sculpted around a wraithguard held in place with sticky tack, and I could shape the souls with greenstuff and get some good detail. However, I only have what I'd call moderate or intermediate ability with greenstuff. This seems like it might be too much to tackle at my skill level, but it's not something I'm willing to write off. If I managed the sculpt, I'd just have to cast them in a clear resin that I could cloud with some white or blue inks.

3. Inspired by the little plate I got with my Chaos landraider for my ork conversions, you know, the plate with the face surfacing from beneath it? I could just sculpt impressions of faces and hands pressing out from the model. I'm not big on this idea, as I may get Chaos-looking Eldar, if it doesn't look outright weird.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'm all ears. I'm still leaning towards #2 I think, but I feel like there are probably options I'm not aware of yet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3954929.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3954929.page GMT Sculpting mist http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955012.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955012.page GMT Sculpting mist
Good luck. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955020.page GMT Sculpting mist
you can then glue them around the bases.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955078.page GMT Sculpting mist
If it's the latter you could construct something out of clear plastic which could be painted and/or you could put glue on it to make a distorted/mist effect (like the effect you get if you accidently get glue on clear plastic components).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955151.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955151.page GMT Sculpting mist

Looking for a permanent feature on the bases. I see where you're going with the fogging effect from glue, but I keep picturing what you suggest as more of a "screen" of plasticard, rather than a 3d sculpt. Was that what you meant?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/432168/3955165.page GMT Re:Sculpting mist

You might also consider this guy as a base:
