Hey all, Lookiing to purchase a set of 100mmx50mm, 100mmx100mm, and 50mmx50mm sized bases. The larger ones seem to be pretty niche, so I figured it would be simpler to just go the custom route, but my Googling is pulling up UK and EU based guys. Any recommendations for somebody in the states?

I would start with Litko. They do custom work.

Warbases in the UK are renowned for good turnaround service for US customers.

Yup, check Litko. They have a program that allows you to design your own custom bases and order them in multiples of 10. Fantastic service, too. Even on the custom bases. Highly recommended.

Contact games-plus.com in Chicago about their George Industries MDF Bases. I got some from them that are approx. 5 by 7 inches for $5 USD a pack of four. They have Laser cut them to any size you want.

Litko is good, I have found Warbases to be faster though.

Warbases is great – very good turnaround time even for custom bases.

@Joerg – I'll email you today. Thanks everyone for the Litko and Warbases recommendations. Warbases has really been faster fulfilling orders to the States from the UK than Litko has? Wow.

I live in New York but I order all my MDF bases and a good deal of other stuff from Warbases. Litko are good but Warbases's service is invariably quicker and cheaper.

Yes, hard to believe, but I have had quicker turnaround with Warbases on some custom orders. Both are decent companies though.

Crossover Miniatures has a laser cutter, if you contact Mr Gregory he might do some custom bases for you.

6squaredstudios.ca in St Cat Canada gave me good service in the US
