Guys, can anyone recommend one? It's not their work. I've ordered regular and custom stands from them for years, and always been pleased with the results. But they seem to have nothing left but the computer ordering system, and so nearly as I can see, they have extra hoops for the established customers they don't have for guests. I ordered VERY routine bases today. I took two tries, half an hour and, oddly, both an unspecified "error" and a bill. So I know I'm out the money, but I don't know whether the bases are coming.
Is there anyone else out there?

Any engraving shop with a laser cutter and thin mdf. I use a local guy who never did bases before until I asked for some.

Not wooden, but great magnets and steel trays:

I would also recommend Warbases. I have had excellent service and a quick turn around (usually 10-14 days) from placing the order to receiving it my mailbox here in the U.S.

You could also try Warsenal in Florida. Great service.

My husband is looking for the new, low profile tyle bases. Anyone know the best place to get those?

I don't like mdf. It's thicker for the same strength, heavier ( which could be an advantage to some people), and water can do ugly things, warp, crumble over time.

Just my opinion.

I would look for styrene. Can't remember off hand but a UK dealer does fine plastic laser cut at good prices

Warbases is amazing. Though they are in the UK, I've had orders reach me in California in a week. Reasonable shipping as well!

Warbases in the UK delivers quickly to the USA and for a good price. Delivers more quickly than Litko and for less.

I can highly recommend Joerg's stuff.

Super fast service and I really enjoy the texture and feel of his bases.

Warbases: very responsive and they'll make anything you want as a custom order.

Since you haven't had nearly enough answers, I'll add another: B Company Bases from Cracker Line Miniatures. These guys have become my go-to since Bill's Bases and then Renaissance Ink and now Litko have become unavailable.

Thanks YA, I make most anything square or rectangle. I show only some of the more commonly requested sizes on my site. If you don't see what you need, just send an email and I will send back pricing. All bases are magnetized.
