Hi all,

I am using Flames of War bases for my Epic Space Marines, but there is no suitable base sized small enough for a single dreadnought.

Any suggestions for small bases that are similar that I could use to somewhat match the Flames of War bases?

Thanks!

They made a single fig base (1/2 a small), it was metal. You can also cut a small to reduce its size. I did that for plastic Contemptors.

Thanks for the response Dave.

Do you happen to have any pics of your Contemptors?

My main issue is trying to match the sloped edge of the FoW bases.

Nope, but I do off some ood Ork Dreads

Thanks Dave. That's a small Flames of War base cut in half?

Yep, I kept the same pattern. 2x2.5, 1.25x2, 1x1.25, .625x1.

I just turned the FoW small base sideways and called it good for both dreadnoughts and sentinels.

^ Same here. I was pretty happy with the scale.

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

What did you use to bevel the edge to match the FoW base after you cut it?

Looking at the pic I think he's cut the middle out. And put the two short ends together to make the long sides of the new base.

This way there are no new bevels needed to be cut.

( I also like the way he's repositions the claws on those dreads)

Wow Kapitan,

Thats one of those forest for the trees kind of thing. I didn't even notice. Definitely looks like the middle section is cut and the two ends are glued.

Dave was even kind enough to post the sizes.

Hi!

I'm using FOW too, so these look good.

I use the 20mm old Space Marine era square bases for my Eldar and Space Marine dreads.

If I get larger dreads or proxies they may go on 25mm round as I like the look of them.
