it's in the FAQ

If I choose the All the Bases Pledge Level, am I locked into the four introductory sets, or can I choose whatever sets I want? 4 Chaos sets, for example?

YES, you may freely mix and match sets as you want. This was changed during our campaign due to player request

I'll check my email, but do you think you could find a link of that?

Yes, despite the pledge level text (which they can't change) they have said that you can pick 4 sets of bases of any style (even 4 of the same style) with the All the Bases ($80) pledge.

Edit: Ninja'ed by DaveC, see his post above. It's in the FAQ at the bottom of the main campaign page.

Ah...awesome! Back to the site to change my pledge!!

How about a stretch goal that will move up the production dates!! I want my bases!! (especially since that now have Arcane)

Still surprised that the MAS URBAN base line hasn't made an appearance here yet!

I think they noted/clarified that you can get any 4 styles even with the "All The Bases" pledge.

Yes, even duplicates. Check the FAQ or update #6.

I was thinking of starting Dark Age I guess...

Can someone list what game systems use the round lipped bases that this campaign is producing?

Warmachine
Dark Age

...?

Malifaux, Brushfire, Relic Knights

Also Darklands, Deepwars, Carnevale, Wrath of Kings, Hell Dorado, Anima Tactics, Wild West Exodus, Infamy, Pulp City, and Wolsung. Deadzone too since the exact base size doesnt actually matter.

Pretty much every 28/32mm game that's not Warhammer, Infinity or Kings of War use 30mm lipped for regular dude infantry.

Plus the 40/50mm bases work as is, and you can just use the 30mm inserts without the main base, as the bottom is 25mm.

Really glad they opened more sets. But good luck getting a mini on those wood bases. I have some and used them for flight bases for Woldstalkers, which turned out great. Also summoned forest markers for Malifaux. But they're pretty useless for anything else.

Wild West Exodus is kind of picky about what base to use though - IF you care about 'official' tournaments and all that.

Normally I wouldn't, but when it is hard enough to find a someone else to play a game with, 'Official' Tournaments might be the only time you can get a game in!

As I make this post, they're >||< close from making the next stretch goal. Don't know if they'll post tonight or not, though.

EDIT: Ding! $65,000 hit. PIPEWORKS!!!!!!

Just a reminder - here are the 14 designs currently available to choose from:

Those arcane bases. Yes.

Kingdom Death will look good on those.

Temple bases at 70K. They have officially unlocked every type of base I wanted from MAS. Hearing about this Kickstarter has really made my month!! The Pipework bases are kind of badass as well, I just don't know what I'd use them with.

Tech for my Space Marines and Pipeworks and Trash for my TGoTG. Arcane or Mystic would go great with Kingdom Death.

WTF is TGoTG?

Toughest girls of the galaxy, aka raging heroes.

Ah, yes, of course - thanks!

If you're waiting for their game, I suspect you might be waiting quite a while yet!

Are you talking about just the game or the miniature line as well? Because some of those minis I wouldn't mind buy when they release.

Annnnd they just hit their 70K Stretch goal!!!

45 Hours to go. Question. Once it's funded can I up my pledge level or do I have to decide the final amount I want to spend before then? I forgot how Kickstarters work.

Next stretch goal is Ancient Temple.



These look pretty good. Just two days left, too.

It varies by company. AFAIK, CMON lets you increase your pledge level post-funding *but* this increase does not count towards stretch goals. Also, CMON will charge you actual shipping post-funding, but you can ask for a refund if you choose not to pay it.

Now "Ancient Temple" looks like something I can really get some use out of!

Just got into infinity(well I ordered icestorm), what bases do you all think go with the different factions? Or are these the wrong sizes for infinity, or missing sizes that would be needed. I don't have a specific faction chooses yet, leaning towards nomad(Corregidor) and yu jing.

These are unfortunately the wrong size (since they are 30mm after the round lip).

I use Micro Art Studio's resin tech bases (you can see pics of that theme in this thread) for my Infinity, and they're excellent!

They look like they're 25mm without the lip thing, since they seemed to fit well on top of a 25mm base. You could just glue the base on top of a 25mm, and have a slight overhang, but that's common in many games with models/bits extending past the baseline anyways. I havent played Infinity, so don't know if a slightly taller base it would impact gameplay like GW's TLOS rules.

Especially as the next edition of Infinity will be going to a 'silhouette' system to determine LOS!

I think the edge might look bad unless you cut down how deep it is. It should be possible- but if I were going to do all that work to use Micro Art Studio PVC bases of a certain theme, I'd just get MAS resin bases of that same theme, instead.

@alpharius and RITides, thanks, I haven't looked into infinity that much, I was also considering doing the clear plastic bases as well, might be the better option.

Either way (these plastic or their resins), what is thematically better styles for the different factions? also now considering Aelph.

Their "Urban" base line is specifically designed for Infinity, and the Tech bases are also very popular for it. I'm not sure of what is / could be Aleph-specific, though.

If they come in the correct size, I'd recommend the jungle bases, as in the background, Aleph's first major campaign is on Paradiso against the CA.

Up until Arcane bases made it out, I was having an easy time deciding what my pledge breakdown looked like. Not anymore! Good problem to have.

I would love some Tau Ceti bases for my Deathwatch.
