What shape of base do you like? What size? Do you like a thin base or a thicker diorama style? |

Both infantry and/or vehicles. |

For something like Dirtside, I'd have a fire team on a penny. Vehicles wouldn't be based unless they needed it for some reason (e.g. motorcycles). |

1-3 infantrymen on a penny. Vehicles on a washer with a bit of tape over the hole. (This is the first time I based all my vehicles; my WWII vehicles are not usually based.) |

Usually I use ready-made bases for fireteams of infantry. I don't use many rules that require bases for vehicles, so i don't. |

The last time I based 6mm figures, I just used stiff card. The bases were, as I recall, 1 inch square. I painted the bases and put some flock on them, but they are quite thin. The bases had 4-man fireteams and some individually mounted leakers for Striker. I don't generally put ground vehicles on bases, unless a vehicle like a motorcycle needs a base. |

I'm basing for Epic 40k or something similar. I'm not chasing bases of figures around the table with my fingernails anymore, so 3mm mdf for me. 25mm edge-to-edge hexes I got from GF9 for infantry; 5 infantry to a base for standard troops. (3 for a detachment leader for Space Marine Legions) For vehicles I haven't decided yet. Hover vehicles and animals (Microworld Dino-riders) definitely will. I got 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm hexes of the same material for larger things done by Bases by George. For these guys: link can't decide between large bases or two of the 25mm hexes put together. It would look interesting with the infantry deployed on either side that way. |

Flames of War Medium size bases with 8-10 Infantry Miniatures per base or two vehicles etc… Each base represents a company size element. Command Sections go on Flames of War small size base. |

Mithmee, I do that too, but with each stand a squad at 1:1 ratio. Vehicles usually go individually on the small bases, unless they're very lightly armed & armored. |
