I'm desperate for the 20x80mm WHFB regiment bases and Australian GW is out until March (luckily I rang today and found out after putting in an order 12 days ago).
Battlewagon bits is out.
GWUS doesn't list their remaining stock volumes and it would be a close run thing if I can get them here in time for the tourney.


So I've stumbled upon the GF9 magnetic bases and can have them at my door in a week, however I need to know if the edges are beveled as all GW WHFB and 40k bases are, or if they are straight up and down.

I can't tell from the pics on their website...

Beveled! Though not as cleanly as the GW ones, but yeah they are beveled.

Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war!

Please define "not as cleanly" I am interested in these as well, but 10 bucks is a bit steep for some bases...especially if they are not good quality....

Well, they don't go from base top to bottom with a single angle bevel. There is a (<1mm) perpendicular rim on the base.

Instead of like this /.......\ it is more like this ... /.....\

It's to make it slightly easier to get them off their steel movement tray/case.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
