Base Boss Bases You'd Like to See


Recommended Posts

I was sooo hoping they'd fill in the missing RPG base gaps of the 150mm (6"), 200mm (8"), 20mm, and maybe even a 250mm (10") if we were really good, flat round straight-edge bases in the style of 74037.

 

Maybe next Base Boss? Maybe? 🙁

Perhaps they could add clear versions too? Please?

 

Look how well a 6" base would go on some of these Bones 5 dragons -

Sculpted/textured base ideas:

diamond deck/steel plate

jungle

forest

rocky

wooden planks

castle/dungeon stone floor

 

 

This is just a few off the top of my head, everyone please feel free to add to this list.

 

Something to keep in mind, though, and this is a very fine line to walk: there needs to be a good balance between detailed/good looking and useful.

I have quite a few resin bases that are absolutely beautiful that I haven't used yet because I can't figure out how to actually place a figure on it without destroying/obscuring some detail.

Carrying over some requests that got lost in the Enthusiasm thread:

I'd actually be interested in them supplying some basing bits. I've seen plenty of requests for similar items. Skulls, shields, weapons, broken pillars, etc.

Or even some base-adjacent offerings like the much-requested corpse-markers.  It's not high on my own list, but there's enough games requiring tokens and markers to gain some interest in bodies, treasure piles, and the like.

I totally agree on the bits.  Give me cool scatter to toss on a base.  I hate giving GW my money for those skulls (which are really good).  

 

I'd love to see heads, chairs, bricks, small trees (pine and deciduous), swords , arms (even cooler if they could be kit bashed into something else), bottles, and bags of loot.

Those skulls are really good indeed! And I hate giving my money to GW too...

Also +1 on the bits.

Agreed on basing bits. It would be nice to have the bits to fling about a scene. Can we get some small sculpted trees and shrubs and flowers perhaps?

 

Again I'd go back to the Bones Black Owlbear as an ideal situation - I love that he comes with a good base, but he is disconnected from it. Super easy to put together if we want, but those who want other bases don't need to go through major effort to get him off a base. Need more figures designed like that in the first place.

And look at that!  They just found a box of bits with weapons.  I LOVE IT!  The fact someone's patrolling here and reacting to customers.  Reaper - you da real MVP.

Another request - not exactly a base, just a couple variations of the pegs for the existing flight bases:

A shorter version (like 1cm tall) of 74047 TRANSPARENT SHORT HOVER PEGS. 

A taller version of (150% as tall) of 74046 TRANSPARENT TALL FLIGHT PEGS but with an Arc shape, like the flight stands that are found with some newer GW and Wizkids figures.

1" tall translucent flying bases. 

 

Not pegs, but with a flat top a mini can stand on. 1" and 2" square versions please! 

 

Huzzah!

If you're talking about just something to sit a based figure on, you can actually get something that works quite well for cheaper than you'd be able to buy a base for.

 

Look for Acrylic Ice Cubes...

 

I've got a number of them that I've used with my Water Genasi character since their abilities let you create the cubes of ice and those are rather good to represent them for cover purposes

I'm after a metric butt load of base inserts for my Wrath of Kings factions -

Round lip bases, Sizes 30mm, 40mm, 50mm & 80mm.

Multiple styles would be great, like cobblestone/forest/industrial/beaches, etc...

 

Vignettes for Dioramas, backgrounds & plinths for busts would be cool too!

 

maybe texture rollers for basing? yes I know there are some on the market already, but I do not like the designs I have found available.

Don't forget a 1x2 or 2x3 rectangular rug (now that the new Bones can do great detail in very low relief)! Doubles as a flying carpet with a little work.
