Caathy_94 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I really would like to know how you get these type of bases? I need one for an original square warhammer base Is there a particular place you buy them from or do you have to make them? If you have to make them I'd really appreciate if you could tell me how please :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hobby stores? Places like AC Moore or Michael's ... they are likely wooden, probably cost a few bucks each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Another possibility for this sort of base is a business that makes and sells trophies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rastl Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Lurker, if you checked out the site you would see he hasn't updated it since 2007-09. Not exactly current stuff. I know there's a few people on the forums at CMON who sell bases and I thought Armorcast did as well but their site is having technical difficulties.

Hadier Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 well there are a few sites i have found but mind you havn't purchased from they are http://www.nationalartcraft.com/subcategor...86&scid=179, and http://www.michtoy.com/MTSCnewSite/scenic_...drea_bases.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaGeek Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 That looks like the bottom of a chess piece. I suggest going to Wal-Mart, buying the cheapest plastic chess game they have, and cutting the bottoms of the pieces off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilwarin Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've seen them pretty "cheap" at craft stores like Michaels. I wouldn't buy a toy chess set just to saw them off though it seems like it would be a waste of money and a lot more work. I'd probably go with just buying the bases to save on all that, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaGeek Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Cheap chess/checker sets a Wal-Mart cost a few bucks. Plus, you get to keep the checker set in the bargain. The tops of the check pieces would make interesting terrain features, too. You could use the king as a tombstone, for instance. Hmmmm...the creative juices are flowing!

Madog Barfog Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 http://www.dragonforge.com/ makes really nice custom bases. He used to do wooden ones and still may, although his site is favoring resin currently. Contact him if you don't see exactly what you are looking for, I like his customer service. EDIT: I just looked at the miniaturebases.com page. I would contact Wayne first, but if he doesn't respond, anyone with a wood lathe can make one for you. His base is a piece of wood (in this case "Gaboon Ebony") that has been turned on a lathe, sanded, and perhaps finished with oils or lacquer. A high school wood shop class will have the equipment; you can get hardwoods at a lumber yard (although you're probably not likely to find Gaboon Ebony very easily!).

eastman Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Gaboon Ebony - Go to any Woodcraft store or online - http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=683 or try Macassar ebony - http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=5167 if you like grain and color variation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Didn't a forum member (can't recall his site or name but his avatar was a red,white & blue "patriotic" skull) offer those along with the other basing mats he made? RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Didn't a forum member (can't recall his site or name but his avatar was a red,white & blue "patriotic" skull) offer those along with the other basing mats he made? RM "Skullcrafts" if I recall correctly; he does deal primarily in basing and basing materials, but I don't remember what he specifically carries.
