I know a number of people have based there epic units on round bases instead of the square or rectangle. What size(s) are about the best, 25mm and 30mm? I am trying to work out two round sizes. Similar using 10mm x 40mm for regular units and 20mm x 40mm for command untis or big models like terminators. Any info or photo references showing the size and figures mounted on it would be appreciated. Thanks -Audrey |

Hi Audrey, MarkConz used 20mm round bases (tiddly winks or plastic chits). I use a few different sizes: 3/4" or 18mm 1" or 25mm I also use a variety of other fender washers including: 1&1/4" 1&1/2" 2" And a few others... Occasionally I use two smaller fander washers for certain minis: 3/8" 1/2" I almost never us the rarer 7/8" fender washer. I've been experimenting lately with oval shapes. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Where are you getting oval bases? I have been wanting some of these for ages! In other news, I use 1" bases - a very old picture (although no progress has been made on it!) here. |

2p pieces work well for squads of 5 men, 2 bikes or rhinos, gun wagonz etc. 1p pieces work well for dreadnoughts, small buggies and dethkopters and the like |

Hi Iain,
I've had to make my oval bases. I bought an oval template made for scrapbookers and made them using that. I have contacted a base maker and am pursuing it. I'll let you know if they decide to pick the idea up.
Cool! Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Couldn't you use some wood jointing 'biscuits' for oval bases? Remembering back to my D&T days, I recall they come in all sorts of shapes, including oval. They might be slightly thick however- although it might be an option worth investigating. Cheers, ~G [edit] As ever, google is my friend: http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=wood+biscuit&hl=en There are a few pics here- have a look in some DIY shops to see if you can get some that are thin enough. |

Yes, thanks. I considered this. The problems are that they are quite thick for Epic minis. They also usually come in MDF of wood-based, which I dont like painting!  Before anyone asks, yes, I looked at oval cutters for plasticard, but their minimum radius is usually too large. Thanks. |

Would anyone be interested in odd shaped bases like pictured below? I have been thinking about making and casting these for my own figures. If I go through that whole process then I might as well offer them to others. I have not completely decided on whether to use round or odd shapes. -Audrey |

Hi Audrey, Your bases are very cool but I'm not looking for any like that right now. I have a bunch or irregular-shaped bases that came with my GZG figures and I'm not overly fond of them. I've been thinking about building movement trays for my Epic infantry so I prefer a regular-shaped base. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Hi! Yes, they do remind me of the GZG ones. I also favor regular square bases. It would be cool if someone came up with bases with terrain features on them. Primarch |

Agreed. They look very similar to GZG bases, except that the GZG ones hold two, three of four minis and are a little smaller. |
