Because I play in enough GT style tournaments and high quality basing can add those extra couple points to the total score to tip you over the edge I am trying to push the envelope.
I am making the squad’s bases interlocking puzzle pieces that I am hoping will really pop on a display board and should make everything look more dynamic.
I first lay out the pattern I want.
Then Build up the bases with Green Stuff, making anchors for the rocks and ruins.
The ruins have magnets drilled into the matching pieces, strong enough to attract but not enough to cause a problem when picking them up.
It does take alot longer per base set, but I think it's worth it, if your really trying to make your figures pop great basing helps!
Fantastic idea. This is the sort of innovative and forward thinking idea that I'd be looking for if I were judging.
ReplyDeleteAre those official GW bases you're using? I thought GW's had sloped sides...
I am actually using the Dragon forge heroic bases, and they do have slightly beveled edges, very similar to the GW bases.
ReplyDeleteInstead of 25mm x 70mm these are 40mm x 75mm. I need the extra width to fit the horses on the bases, with the posed marines, without bumping into one another.
I'm in the market for some bike bases myself. I'll give them a gander. Thanks for the tip!
