I am in the process of making a ton of bikers, and I need to get bases for them. I've looked at my options, from Litko Aerosystems carved bases to premade resin ones, and I think my best bet is probably making my own out of 40mm square and round bases, as I'll have the most control over their finished appearance. Trouble is, I don't actually have enough of those bases to make enough for my bikers!

I need a grand total of 22 square and round 40mm bases each, and I'm hoping you fellas wouldn't mind helping me out on my endeavors. I am in the U.S., and shipping on a handful of bases should not cost more than a dollar or so, which I am happy to reimburse to the sender. If need be, I can scrounge stuff up for trade, but since these are bases I thought I might try my luck and see if anyone had piles of extras laying around I could mooch off of.

Edit: Yes, I realize they sell bags of bases, but I am up to my eyeballs in 28mm bases and I don't need any more! Plus, each bag only has 2-3 of the ones I need.

The new way that GW sells bases can make these projects a real pain in the ass.

I recently needed three 40mm bases for some Kannons I built. I couldn't stomach buying a bag of bases I don't need for the three that I do need so I had to beg/borrow them.

So I sympathize. Sadly, my anecdote indicates that I have no such bases left.
