I just noticed mantic are no longer (?) putting individual base in boxes of kow figures.

Its the one hold up for me, that they don't do figure removal.

Now it's seems you can even base them individually, out of the box.

So, TOW change the base sizes, possibly in response to mantic and others, wanting to "own" their base size.

Now mantic have done the same type of thing, likely because you can no longer use their figures for WFB, out of the box.

So now one is on larger bases and the other is on unit bases. Both being a pain in the bottom.

At least GW had a good reason, as with crowding and scale creep, if not at the end of a long hiatus, then when? During a games run?

The valid excuse for mantic aren't so easily come by. Because TOW doesn't need them? Because everyone is multi basing? They still had some ground for old hammer fans, but now it's hard to buy figures if you don't want multi bases and don't want to have to fork out again for new bases.

Interesting times.

Just buy individual bases from em4 or Warbases – they are not expensive (20x 25mm bases for £1.50 GBP?) or even make your won from card or coins. It's not a big deal.
