What's the best recommendation for cheap bases?

I need a whole bunch in 20x20 mm.

Am open to any suggested material, whether metal or wood.

Ideally a US retailer.

I use Litko: laser cut wood – easy to prime, paint and apply groundwork to.

All my 20mm scale single figures are based on this size from Litko.

Well, Joerg, I'll give you a shot :)

Joe – I've used Litko in the past but wanted to branch out a touch :)

That was quick!
Thank you!

Well, I noticed on your website that you are a German gentleman in the US by way of marriage.
I'm Danish and in the US by way of marriage, so I figure us expats have to stick together :-)

My wife is German, too! We're in the US because of her working here ;-)

But I agree: expats should stick together!

Wargames Accessories makes bases in just about any size you might want. Jeff will even make custom sizes if required.

Surdu – Will note them for next time, thanks!

I have a ton of old 20mm square GW slotta bases, if you'd be interested in those.

I suggest Shogun. He does custom and he has magnetic undersides available and metal movement trays. Prices seem reasonable

Joerg got me sorted out for now (and the package just arrived in the mail today :) ) but I'll bear the suggestions in mind gentlemen.

Beast – Appreciate the offer but I'm good for now.
