I'm restarting my Blood Angels again very soon and am currently stuck on how to base them.

I want to go the resin base route to stand out from the rest of the armies at the tourney scene without having to expend too much effort in modelling bases (I got to 2 bases using DAS and the 40k buildings and have given up).

I like the idea of rubble as it gets a real city fight and can do weathering and battle damage. Will also add height to the models making them more prominent.
Cobblestones and dungeon stone are great for a, I guess mor classical or even plain look, adding texture without detracting from the miniatures.

The pics are from an Australian company but I may go elsewhere (primarily as he needs to do 60mm cobblestone and dungeon stone)- the pics are purely to show what style I am after.

Those are all the options, in case the pics dont work. I voted Dungeon Stone, as I think it looks the most natural. I also think that it might be hard to base on the rubble, because of the large chunks.

theres an excellent company called foundations of war.

I used their lava bases to do my entire chaos dwarf army, really good quality and price.
