Disclaimer: I couldn't find another thread about this, so I've put here on the Warlord Rules Discussion. I'm first a Wargamer and just after a Miniature painter and collector. But still, I like my miniatures and I like to see them in bases that fit the bill. For standard, large and cavalry bases I have no issues. But giant bases seem to me for some miniatures very small. The miniature doesn't fit well. My question is. Is there any gaming problem to have the giants in 3'' square bases? They fit so much better. I feel that is someone loses by fitting them in 3'' square bases is me, by the extra number of enemies that can go to B2B combat, right? What do you think?

So ... I have a few thin slabs of slate I thought might serve for basing some of the bigger Bones, maybe. One is about 6.5 inches long and 4 inches wide, two more are about 6 inches by 3. They all are rather irregularly shaped, but they are nice and flat with a smooth toothy texture and some pretty sparkly inclusions. Is this a sensible idea? I do not think I could drill them for pinning, but they are well cleaned and I suppose I could epoxy Bone figures down to them. One of the smaller slabs was a little thick and I could see three clear layers in it. I tried splitting it, but I don't have the proper tools, just a hammer and screwdriver and safety goggles. I knocked a few bites off of one layer or another, which actually made the slab more interesting looking and gave me some smaller pieces I think could be useful as scenery on little bases. Have people done things like this? Is there information somewhere so I don't have to reinvent the wheel?

Hey guys, I am new to the reaper boards, and miniatures in general. I've collected them for a few years (for gaming campaigns), but just recently started painting, and taking some interest in basing. That said, I have no idea what I am doing! The minis already have small bases as part of the figure, so I am wondering how to base these. Do I cut away the metal base it comes with? If you can point me in the direction of a good guide, that would be wonderful. Thanks, Risingdark

I'm relatively new to painting - and unsure when to base the mini - at the beginning or end of the process? Thanks in advance, LP

Greetings everyone, I was hoping to get everyone's solution for using Woodland Scenics Realistic Water product on your bases. More importantly, I'm hoping to find information about how to keep Realistic Water on a non-recessed base! So what's your secret to keeping the product on there while not getting a funky concave edge or bulges? Or on a round base? Thanks in advance for your help!
