Back to Base-ics
« on: March 30, 2024, 11:50:37 PM »
A question of bases:

Does anyone know of 3rd party 30x60 bases with the slots for Empire horses?

My usual source (wargamebaseworld) doesn't cater for the slots. And I can't justify nearly $2 per base especially when they're coming from the UK and I'll get reamed on postage as well.

Well I got mine from China so they sure are cheap, but no slottas and sometimes, one in a 20 batch will be burnt or deformed.

I bought adapters from greenstuffworld since most of the cavalry i have is glued in the slots. They are ~3.6€ for 10, not great but I've seen worse

warbases.co.uk do a variety of MDF individual slot bases. Looks like 16 x 60x30mm cost about £2.40.


If you don't want to rebase figures I've got a few of their MDF conversion movement trays for both cavalry and infantry. If you get the 3mm top layer they're just the right height for GW's plastic ones. A 5x1 tray for cavalry in £1.70 inc UK VAT, £1.42 without.

White dragon.
The slots are there, but need cutting out (which is fairly easy).

Those look perfect.

I just ordered some from The MiniWargaming Forge

https://miniwargamingforge.com/

They can sell you the trays (which is what I bought) but they can also sell you STL's that you can print yourself, it looks like.

I just bought some bases off Etsy from MidgardPP.
They should arrive in 2 weeks - will let you know how they go.
Fairly cheap - 200 30x30 bases and 100 30x60 bases plus postage and GST for $140.

I plan to rebase my Orcs and Chaos, and use those 25x25 bases for my previously 20x20 bases.
