I'm looking for GW style plastic bases. I want the cavalry size, 25x50mm but rounded corners or "pill shaped"

I know GW has the bike base, but it's like 25x75mm.

I also know several companies make a 25x50 pill base but out of MDF.

Thanks, Xin

Fenris makes them in resin IIRC

Check Renedra, they do a big range of plastic bases.

I think Litko will make just about any size or shape that you need.

If you can use wood, check out craft stores. They may have some of that shape in flimsy die-cut wood, or in shaped thicker hardwood.

Scroll down to the bottom here, I bought some for mounting my cavalry on. Not quite what you are after but very cheap!

We make one for Omni-stands.

It's sized for the GW bases but I can modify it for the size you need and cut them from MDF.

I know DragonForge makes bike bases in a variety of styles. They are resin, not plastic though.

Proxe Models Bases: link

25mm x75mm pill, plastic, but with a small lip (as opposed to the raiased GW type.)

Ivan DBA20 May 2014 7:00 p.m. PST

I've purchased from Proxie Models several times, and recommend them.

Skeptic21 May 2014 5:21 a.m. PST

The Proxie ones may work, but they'd need to be shortened, to become 25mm x 75mm…

Skeptic21 May 2014 6:08 p.m. PST

Sorry, I meant 25mm x 50mm.
