I used to get wooden ones from Litko, before the USPS put their international shipping prices up. Now I get them from Sarissa. Cheap prices and cheap shipping! I actually just placed an order with them yesterday, since they have a Black Friday 10% off sale. |
Oberlindes Sol LIC | 22 Nov 2018 4:50 p.m. PST |
I don't use either type of base. |

For 15mm I use galvanized steel washers, from the local hardware store. I'm not sure how much they cost individually, because I bought them by weight, but they're pretty cheap. For 6mm I use Litko 1.5mm plywood with .020 inch magnet bottoms price varies by size. For my Infinity stuff (28-32mm) I use resin bases from Dragon Forge Design. They're about a dollar each. |

I use mostly Litko and Warbases although increasingly the latter has been surging into the lead (they turn orders around more quickly, even though they come from another continent). |
PaulCollins | 22 Nov 2018 7:05 p.m. PST |
I use metal from Wargames Accessories. Great turn around from Florida to CA. |

Most of my multiple- figure bases are cut from 3/32 basswood from Michael's or Hobby Lobby; a lot of the single figures are mounted on a variety of washers from Ace or Tru-Value hardware stores. |

I use 20mm x 20mm plastic bases cut from a 4' x 8' x 1/8" sheet of polystyrene. Cost was about $20 USD with shipping from a local plastic wholesaler about 15 years ago. |
