Question about how you are basing your regiments
« on: June 25, 2021, 04:59:23 PM »
I have several of the GW base sets where you can cut down the plastic to make your customized regiment bases. Each sprue comes with 8 sets of 2 corner pieces, with those straight ones. Well, to cut corners and get the most out of each set, I was only using 2 corners per base, at the front, and leaving nothing along the rear edge. I can't say this looks the prettiest, but I thought it would give me more bang for my buck.

But now I am wondering if I shouldn't use all for corners. For one thing it does seem like it would make the models more stable when being moved, but I also feel since most of the time its being viewed from the front, using the corners for the back is a little bit of a waste. So that being said, I was wonder how you guys were setting up for regimental bases. Using two corners like I was, or 4 to round the edges of the tray out?

Does this make sense?

All my movement trays work without corners at the back.

I have them both ways. It works either way, I don't really have a preference unless the base part is shorter than the last base on it, then it can get messy
