Hi guys,

*should have gone in Epic Discussions but could not see POST NEW TOPIC button*

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good source for warmaster-size plastic bases to mount my vehicles on. I had a good site that I was going to buy off but I just lost my bookmarks and have forgotten the name.

I know I could use plasticard but, lets face it, I'm lazy and need them fast and accurate.

D.

Well...

you could use fender washers; they are cheap, round, generally the right thickness, and lower the model's center of gravity.

OR

you could use plasticard that has a tile pattern; evergreen makes plasticard sheets that come in "tile" and "sidewalk" (tile has deeper and wider grooves). Basically, the plasticard sheet is pre-scored and it is a simple matter to get repeatable dimensions for your bases. Square sizes vary from 1/16" to 1/2".

OR

you could try litko: http://www.litkoaero.com/GMBXXXt.php

OR

you could try wargame acessories: http://www.wargameaccessories.com/Products.htm

IIRC Cybershadow has de-activated the Epic Discussions sub forum, it is now an archive.

Kallistra sells some 20*40mm bases (1.20£ for 12 or 4.80£ for 50).

Any reason for the deactivation?

None given IIRC. He de-activated two or three 'x game discussion' boards at the same time I think, leaving one generic board.

The Flames of War small bases(32mmx25mm) are around £6 for 56 so are pretty cheap compared to GW Warmaster bases.

I think Litko aerosystems might also sell bases in the size you're after.

Magister Militum do some placcy Warmaster-size bases too, but I got a pile of the Kallistra ones for my own WM/BoFA stuff.  Kind of a flexible resiny thing.  I think you've seen them already but I'll bring a couple this week for a closer look. ;)

You could also try https://www.gf9.com/ They seem to be reasonable as far as prices go.  I am expecting my 30mm round bases tomorrow via fed ex, so I dont know exactly how good (or bad) these are yet.

@Vermis: that is exactly the site I was after. I found it rather oddly by looking for other 10mm suppliers.

Site is here

Litko seem to be either metal or plywood. Not a fan of either. Will order from MAgister and see what they are like. 50 in a pack for £5. Not bad.

I thought that it would be better to have a single trade board, instead of three. We would get several members who wanted to swap (for example) Epic stuff for 40K or vice versa, and were not sure which board this should go in. It should also keep traffic concentrated to a single place, and increase visibility.
