The best thing in Games Workshop's 2009 catalogue: bases are once again being sold in packs of a single size (including the much-wanted 25mm round unslotted base) rather than only in assortments.

If that reaches the retailers, it's a good thing.

Cool.

I wondered how long it would take.

It only took until they figured out they could quintuple the price. Last time I got 25mm bases they came 54 to a pack for about $5. USD Now they're $4.50 USD for a pack of ten 25mm bases or three 60mm bases. Wow!

The prices are too high, who has an alternative? I went searching and couldnt find anything comparable. I guess its ok if you dont us many but I buy in bulk.

em4 Miniatures. Excellent service, cheap as chips… or plastic bases

second for EM4, only way to go for bases

Does EM4 bases exactly match GW's? If so, that's great. For someone like me who likes to restore old GW miniatures, it's important to have a steady supply of these old bases around.

$4.50 USD for only 10? Is that right?

Alas, em-4 doesn't do an unslotted 25mm round plinth-type base, or didn't last time I checked. Nor does anyone else. There are threads asking about them on this board every few months. Wouldn't it be nice if someone started making them?

$4.50 USD for only 10? Is that right? Dons a speedo and red cloak Right? This. is. Gouge. WOOOORKSHOP!

If em-4 start making unslotted 25mm round bases. I will buy a lot of them.
Rogzombie	20 Nov 2008 11:49 p.m. PST
I will check out em-4, as long as the shipping charge isnt too high. Frankly I would use Litko bases for everything but my customers are used to the plastic standard bases most people use. Thanks.
