Beside of Litko, does anyone know where to find laser cut 30 mm round bases, preferably with magnets, and on the "old" shore of the ocean.
Litko would be great, but their postage fees for overseas parcels are just deterrent!
Thanks. |

I think Fenris games might do these as well, but what I haven't yet found this side of the pond is ready cut self-adhesive magnetic material for the various sizes of circular bases I use. If anyone knows a source of these, do shout, as it is increasingly expensive getting them sent over from Litko. |

Try Minibits. They do laser cut MDF bases, although I don't think they carry magnetic backings. link |

I've used both Warbases (for Warmaster magnetic bases) and Minibits for some 30, 40 & 50mm round bases (also a load of other square bases as well) and found both to offer a great service and at a good price, also Minibits also does custom sizes as a friend of mine got a load of 32mm hex bases for all his Cav's to be based on. |

Thanks folks!
I have got a quick and responsive answer from Minibits, unfortunatly, the true concern looks to lay with the magnets. As noted by Paul, even the raw material is more and more expensive, and you loose a big deal of it cutting rounds! And the result is (in my pityfull case at least) never perfect … Thanks to all. |

Also have a look in your local £1.00 GBP shops for magnetic photo paper you can get 2 sheets of A4 for £1.00 GBP (honestly) in the UK, I use it a lot for the bases of 6mm vehicles. And you can cut it with scissors so can be cut to any shape/size. |

Does it have to be 30mm? I occasionally go down the bank and get a quid's worth of 2p s (1 inch/25mm) |

Las … Hussar!
This is my first experience with 40mm figures and many do not fit onto a 25mm.
And, on another hand, 40mm (LOTR GW standard) is too much …
Thanks to all. |

wonders if he can use his 3Dprinter to make markers.
