Do you use bingo chips for basing figures?

Buff Orpington03 Jun 2017 2:00 a.m. PST

Don't think I've ever seen them. My usual choices are:
1p coins for large skirmish games, I use sabots from Warbases when I need to rank them up.
25mm or 30mm repair washers for warbands for Frostgrave etc.
Poker chips for bigger stuff, bought loads on clearance after the craze for poker sets faded.

Use them for my "true 25mm" wild west figures. Got a ton of them after my Mother in law passed away.

I bought a second hand collection from a guy who used bingo chips. I think the chips he used are way too large for the figure and, eventually, I will rebase but, if the chips were of a more reasonable size, I would leave them as is.

No!

UK 1p coins, occasionally 2p coins or straight onto lasercut MDF.

Zeelow03 Jun 2017 4:59 a.m. PST

No, but I've used tiddlywinks for 15mm.

No.

For objectives on occasion.

Well, they're sold in bulk at the teacher's store as "counting chips", but bingo chips, tiddly winks, counters … whatever. I get two different sizes:

1 inch for 28mm figures

3/4 inch for 15mm figures

Fried Flintstone03 Jun 2017 6:43 a.m. PST

2p bases for 28mm (a bit large but I like the look)

Now I am using 1 euro cent coins for 15mm.

Crazy but it is cheaper to use coins rather than buy washers

Bingo chips I use for casualty markers with appropriate
figures for 28mm Nap/ACW

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP04 Jun 2017 1:21 p.m. PST

Never thought about them

Could but I tend to use coins instead
