Hey all. Was hoping for some help. I have finally amassed 6 rogue trader avatars that I intend to use as objective markers. I got some nice wraithbone style scenic bases for them but feel the finish is a bit flat. The avatars are going to be painted bronze statue style and so I’ve decided to place them on roman statue style plinths.

So I’m hoping for some suggestions for these plinths to fit a 25mm base scale model (picture below).

I would suggest looking at the cake decorating section of your local craft store, but it might be hard to find something that says “Eldar"

The juice lids work great for 28mm but might be too wide for epic models.

IIRC the epic avatar was still about half the size of a 28mm model.

Might be worth bringing a model to the supermarket to check, or pick up a juice bottle. If it doesn't work, at least you got some vitamin C out of the deal.

This juice lid might be too big on 2nd thought. 25mm is petite.

That's not the Epic a avatar guys.
It's the 40k version, probably stands 70mm.

Glue a 25mm round base onto a 32mm base. Glue that onto a 40mm base, then a 50mm, etc, as many levels as you want.

And yes, that's the original 40k Avatar. Previewed in WD as being a huge miniature!
