Hi all,

I have lots of Epic infantry, and more coming, that are without the long bases.
I dont want to use the square bases, as my burgeoning Jouran Dragoons :) 53rd Steel Legion army are all long bases.

Does anyone know where to find these cheap - eBay doesnt have any by themselves.

Ideas?

Buy them from GW. 16 is five bucks. It's not a GREAT price, but it's not that bad at all.

Ahh, i didnt even think to check them
Had a look though, and with GW's Australia Tax added its around $18 for 16...

Anyone want to buy some in the US, and ship them to Australia ;) ::) :-[

Not a direct answer, but you two sheets of 1mm HIPS and a drill will see you right :)

in australia, its actually cheaper to buy an eldar warhost than it is to buy an eldar warhost worth of bases. madness i know but that's just how GW roll. You do get bases with the infantry packs right? (i personally have never bought one from GW)

32 bases and a bunch of models (i gather you dont get bases for the jetbikes, if you do its 36) for $35
or 32 bases for $36

One ooption is to get bases from GW. I reccommend the Ork Infantry - it has the most stands for the price, 38. Another option is to make your own out of two sheets of 1mm plasticard. The standard base has 1/4 in. holes. Time consuming, but inexpensive.

You could also PM Otterman; he had some resin bases available last I checked.

If you're even less picky, popsicle sticks are about the right width. Buy a pack for $1, and some spackle, and you're set forever.

Both DRM and Exodus Wars make bases too ... prefect for 6mm Epic ...

Thanks for all the advice guys.

SG - I picked up the Ork Horde - on the GW Oz site it says it has 44 stands... Thats a good deal - for GW ;) :D

I just cut all my converted khornies off their long bases and used washers from the local hardware store, 25 washers for 2.45, is way cheaper and i prefer the round base. picks will be up on my thread soon if you wana take a peek.

i'm actually basing all my bloody hand (and a number of other armies both 40k and epic, i suspect) on 30mm flat edge (ie GW style rather than PP/Wyrd style rolled shoulder) bases that i bought at 1000 (plus a bunch more, by weight there seems to be about 1200 there) for $60 or so. cant remember the webstore, but i'm sure i could find it if needed
