Titan forge do an stl set of cobble bases too I think. If that’s in your wheelhouse.

I've been using Renedra Paved effect bases. They are 1mm thick and can be stuck on a base

30mm fits perfectly on a 32mm base. 40mm overhangs slightly. I find the best thing to do is cut them up and mix them half and half with regular basing texture. You can cut out individual stones if necessary.

EDIT: added example

Cheers DaveC, these have a use for a multitude of game systems. They look great for Cursed City.

These are lovely! Might be the way I go, thank you. One of the things that kept me from getting started on my BSF set was assembling all the models and then realizing I didn't have a good plan for the bases. Want to set something up from the start for CC.

They could have made them easy to split up in the rules so they'd actually be useful in AoS tho.

I dunno, I kind of like it. This way if you want to use some as unit champions or generic characters, there isn't anyone with a nitpick that 'well, actually, that's Special character XYZ.'

Aren't they probably going to get individual rules though for AOS? Like Blackstone Fortress let you use the Kroot in a Tau army.

Yeah, they are- that's what the link is summarizing. I just prefer generic characters and unit champions, and using the not-a-varghulf-honest as a varghulf.

Yes, it comes with a Warscroll book for using it all in AoS.

You can even look at them now for free on the New Zealand GW website.

So, AUD$290. Lower than I was expecting. Nice of this new place to give me 25% off.

They sold out in 2 minutes.

Ah yes, the ol’ “whoops, you seem to have accidentally stumbled into Bloodthirster Fight Club and they’re not happy” random monster roll at level 1…

It wasn't even that. Some of the most dangerous moments in OG Quest were the trips back to town. Bad stuff happens in the space between places.

Oh? Is this a general 25% off, or specific to Cursed City?

And more importantly, where?

Yeah, Cough up!

Who's giving you the good oil?

For AUS customers -
Maybe not the place the other guy meant but there's a site, gapgames.com.au that does 21% off GW. They had cursed city $290 down to $229.10 but it has sold out.

You can also check Green Stuff World's rolling pins. There is quite a variety of them and are easy to use. You can even find something for your BSF minis there.

From the outset, they've been making it abundantly clear that the Order heroes are 'plug and play' while the Death stuff was basically a small army in one go.

Not sure why this concept is so alienating but whatevs. On to the next manufactured drama for a release!

Not sure why you struggle so much to understand that useful things are better than useless things but whatevs, on to the next willfully oblivious white knighting...?

Yeah, how dare things be useful.

Wargamers Hub. It's a mob in Queensland that does 25% off pre-orders.

Don't go running now. As I said, they sold out of their allotment in 2 minutes.

Bagged mine from Element. They only did a 10% discount which is annoying, but still better than none. Knocked another £10 off using store credit.

Looks like GW website went down as soon as it should have been up for pre-order in UK and Northern Europe.

Ordered direct from GW site crashed multiple times but it went through in the end. Element isn't an option for me as they aren't doing DDP for EU countries.

I got one at Goblin Gaming. GW webstore down when I tried there.

Still cheaper than what I paid for with a 25% discount.

Let that sink in.

Same discount for me at Firestorm, understandable given that ebay chancers often use these retailers to make even more profit.

The Games Workshop site is having the maintenance issues we saw for the Indomitus release, if you were quick you *could* have got in as orders went live at 9.56 am. Seems like a quick initial printing sell out is due once the website is sorted.

Had the same issue with Element. Genuinely had to check only one payment came out. But all in securely.]

Both Element and Darksphere now sold out of their allocations. But nice to see Element restricting it to One Per Customer.

It's not down, it's just loading too slowly. Just refresh it - had to do it two times during my purchase.

I know dude, I know. There’s nothing I can say because there’s no justification for the markup.

Mine is just crashing repeatedly; perhaps it depends on connection speed or something?

EDIT: Got there in the end....

Keep refreshing it will go through eventually my biggest worry is when it crashed on the way back from Paypal but it went through on a refresh and I got emailed receipts.

Scored one at my local GW shop. Poor guys are fighting against the servers to ge all preorders trough.

Wanted to order the book. Website went down from 11:55 to around 12:10. I got my order processed just for it to show it's no longer available. feth that fething gak, fething feths.

It was up at about 09:55 on GW UK, so I got mine then. The order confirmation page showed me the maintenance page which was a bit scary but I've got receipts, it's definitely kosher

Got one from Ontabletop at 19% off, been finding them really good for Ireland since ordering from mainland Britain isn't really an option any more.
