Does anyone make bases of around 25mm in size that have integral dials in them like the old Titan bases that GW used to make? Something like this but smaller obviously.

Ive looked everywhere and dranw a blank so far. :(

The only ones that come to my mind are mechclix but those are 50mm in diameter, maybe the heroclix ones are smaller but I don't have any of those.

They look pretty perfect, as long as I can stikc a figure on top of the base with flock and sand etc.

EDIT- ouch just saw the price of them. I need a fair few!

Can't help you with the price, but I will vouch for Litko, they make great stuff. These are slightly cheaper and are 25mm diameter: link

You may also want to check with the Dial Dude, but I don't know much about his product or prices. the-d-d.net

They do look very nice indeed, but Im just surprised there arent more around. I would have been quite happy with one with a card dial like the old GW Titan base I pictured above as they will be used for casualty markers for Hail Caesar (with a suitable casualty figure on the top of them. Going to need about 30 or so, so if this is all thats about I better get saving.

Serotonin21 Aug 2011 12:58 p.m. PST

Those dial dude ones look more my cup of tea price wise!
Cheers.

I have a fair number from the Dial Dude and think they are a MUCH better fit for materials and cost for what you intend to use them for. He has several new types that are great and don't come apart like the original versions. All in all a good product for an affordable price.

I like the Litko ones for nice markers that you plan to see and don't want to cover up with something like flock.

Ive got a bunch of extra heroclix bases that you can have.

Sundance21 Aug 2011 9:22 p.m. PST

Did you check Litko?

Some unloved heroclix figures sell for only pennies each. It might be easy to print out your own dial faces and insert them, but I haven't tried it myself.

I've taken a few Clix bases apart myself and it may well be too much of a PITA to get the job done.

I also have tons of extra Clix bases.
