I need about one hundred 50mm round bases. I don't really care about the edges or lip, I just need a bulk bag of the things (long ago I became resigned to the fact that no matter what sort of base I package my figures with, I'll irritate a certain segment of the tabletop wargaming crowd). My personal inclination is to pack the figures without any bases and let the customers base them any way they see fit (since that's pretty much what I do with every miniature I buy), but I know that won't fly. Any suggestions? 100 might be too small a number for a wholesale order, but I'd be willing to set up an account (I have several more large figures planned and they'll need bases, too). Thanks! -Alex |

Here's where I get mine – UK based but shipping is fast, good service. minibits.net |

Thank you – I'm in the US, I'd prefer a source in the USA. I'll check them out, though. |

You could always order 50 from Litko Aerosystems. They manufacture round bases in packs of 50. |

If in US why metric dimensions. How about 2 inch. What material? Consider punching your own with something like this

renaissanceink.net/catalog eBay is an option

Alex, Litko also has packs of 100 in two different thicknesses. link Jim |

Ah, yeah, sorry, the metric dimensions are just my default descriptor after years of using Games Workshop bases for everything. Thanks very much for the links, folks! -Alex |

I'd be all for the no base option. I also tend to do my own basing, usually with metal washers. |

Yeah, unless they're slotta-tabbed I don't care about comes with bases 'cause I'm just going to use washers or something. |

Proxie Models Bases: link Packs of 12 for $4.50 USD. Not sure how that matches up to other prices previously recommended. |

I'd go with Litko. Very reliable supplier |

My personal inclination is to pack the figures without any bases and let the customers base them any way they see fit (since that's pretty much what I do with every miniature I buy), but I know that won't fly. It would fly with me. I'm with Space Monkey on this – I rarely use the bases that come with miniatures anyway. Doug |

Check with Doug at eM-4.
They sell bases of all sizes in bulk.
I'm assuming they are slotted? |

Renedra also has 50mm round bases link |

Likco looks like teh current cheapest for 50 ROUND 50mm bases. 9.75+ shiping Renedra unfortuantely are not currently a fantastic value, at 4-5$ for 8. |

Reaper will be a source once Bones 2 delivers… |

We could send them over to you, no bother at all. For 100 bases, it would be £11.00 GBP + £4.00 GBP shipping, so a little under $25 USD? We do custom sizes as well if you need anything else. (I hadn't realised the exchange rate had changed so much recently, it was only 1.55/£ a few months back!) |

Also GF9, or now flams of war, has the mdf bases, differnt material then litko. I use them for most of my basing now. Can pick up a buch for low cost at conventions. Also like the proxie ones since they are a plastic. Adam |
find wargaming inspiration in his DNA results? Probably!
