So, GW are now asking for £2.25 for 9 Warmaster bases. This seems a little.... crazy expensive! So, are there any alternatives? They dont need to be exactly the same size, but approximately would be good. And, yes, I know that I could just cut up plasticard, but I would prefer to buy pre-cut. Plastic or metal work, but I dont like working with wood or MDF. |

Genius! Thank you. I even have a load of those for this purpose in storage that I had totally forgotten about. |

I bought a bag of those about a year and a half ago and I got nine sprues of bases (three per sprue). Have they changed it? Might be worth calling mailorder just to check. Alternatives? Spend £2 on a sheet of plasticard with the same thickness. Use a steel rule and a sharp knife to cut up whatever size bases you need. |

Wow. There are certainly some good alternatives out there. Its a wonder that GW sell any at those prices and with that competition. Thanks all. |

Peter Pig, Magister Militum, Kallistra all sell 40x20 (warmaster) size plastic bases for 10p each. I'm sure there's others. I would usually pitch in with I'd sell you some at this point, but having had 10,000 made a few years ago for myself, I am rather terrifyingly down to my last 200!!!

"Terrifying" doesn't begin to describe that. Wow. |

I've ended up pinching an idea from one of the lads at a recent tournament, and I'm using tuppences. Modern ones are ferrous, so will stick to magnetic sheet. So 2p per base. Not 100% settled on how (and if) I'm going to elevate any of the grav tanks beyond the putty I'll be using to do the basing. |

10,000 bases! You must have an insanely large collection and gaming area! I thought I was bad for having bought maybe 200-300ish.As for flying stands I've just bought clear plastic rod and use sections of that e.g. on my Vulture back from a time when I made/found time to paint:  It's good as you can vary the height and use different sizes of thinner rod for jetbikes, jetpackers, ect e.g.:  As for bases, I've bought up a lot of 1.5mm ply ones from eBay, which I like because they're neatly cut, the same height as Warmaster bases and they come in lots of sizes and shaped. I've not painted any yet and I've recently started wondering/worrying how long they will last though. Anyone have any experience on this? So long as I paint them and maybe varnish the undersides to seal that too should they be ok for decades to come? Or will they wear out or warp and I should go for acrylic instead? |
