I want to put names across the front of my Mordheim Bases (For quick identification), but my freehand is frankly terrible. Is there any way to do it non-freehand, using waterslide or just gluing paper on or something?
Adding name tags to Miniatures?

Yeah, you can see my first attempt in this post over in my plog: https://www.vampirecounts.net/threads/mordheim-undead-warband.28261/page-2#post-418036
What I've done is use the freely available program Inkscape to create a vector image to print out on regular paper, cut it into size and then glue it on the base and give it a wash to weather it. Vector graphics is far superior to pixels in this case since vectors scale up and down without losing integrity, a pixel image of the same size would just look really messy.
Right now I'll be experimenting with making the name on the base a little bit bigger to increase the clarity and visibility of it. I'll make the image itself a little bigger and then also go over the letters with a brush & paint to pick it out. I'll be posting more pictures of this during the weekend, I hope.
