R2ED Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I'm curious to see what this will be since it's my first Base Boss. I bought quite a few from that last KS Bones 5. Excited to see what's coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrift Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I don’t keep up with social media anymore, so I’m definitely bereft of any rumors or details. If it’s just for common bases, I don’t need any of those. If however, they’re expanding their Bones USA line to begin producing cool bases I can re-base figures on (cobblestone, brick, terrain, sewer grates, etc.), then I’m def in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Based on @Pochi's post here:https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/95869-base-boss-bases-youd-like-to-see/page/4/&tab=comments#comment-2041315 It doesn't sound like anything I want or need will be included. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I'll give it a look, but if the bases are anything like the current "small" base, as I see "angled", I'm out. (I really hope they add a new version of that base as the current one is sub-standard compared to the rest of the plastic bases they offer). If not there are other companies offering better ones right now. Also, I'm not sure which lipped bases they are referring too either. I despise the round display aka "Dark Age" style of lipped base. Again it all comes down to if I can use them in my games (mainly D&D 5e) or not. Again, hoping for the best with this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I'm really hoping they won't just be Games Workshop size bases. There's a real need for 55mm as well as 70mm for those who play Infinity and want consistent bases. I also really do hope for some textured ones, since there have been a few teasers over time for such, and they'd be rather useful, doubly so since I presume they'd be in Bones USA so could be restocked and/or made on site (or in the same plastic the current ones are, that works too if they're as durable) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) I'm in for any size or shape RPG style (straight sides) base they want to make. If there aren't any of those, I'm likely to pass. ETA: Although, I will likely put in a dollar just to spam the comments with requests for RPG bases and in case they add them to the Pledge Manager afterwards.

Same, but... Ed said all pledge tiers would be $10. I’m not interested in any of the bases Ed said they’ll be producing in the Base Boss 2 KS. But I’ll happily spam the comments for 20mm RPG bases, 20mm slotted bases, 4” RPG bases, and 6” RPG bases. Details start just before the 49 minute mark of the Nov 4th Reaper Live stream. Lipped display bases: 120mm, 100mm, 80mm, 50mm, 40mm, and 30mm. Game line (angled edge): 60mm, 28mm w/o slot, 25mm w/o slot, and 40mm. Here’s a link to the video. Ed starts talking about it at the linked time stamp. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1196154140?t=2920s 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicciopiu Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 As a painter, I would love to see something similar to the "Green Stuff World" new hollow bases, as they are fantastic to make custom bases. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reaper RPG bases turned upside down work for this - they just have straight sides, instead of the angle. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ve been doing that trick for a while! It’s great because you don’t have to cut a base off of a figure. Just bury it beneath some moulding paste. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2ED Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 @kristof65 and @Adrift is always the simplest solutions. I never really thought of that! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylverthorne Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I also do that, it works really well for tiny, contained water effects, too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting bases would get me. Plain bases wouldn't. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
