Well, there's your problem. Try a 25mm and you'll be golden

Let's see a pic of this mini that cannot be stabilised by weighting.

wait. whatever the Space marine TAC base is.

That mouse'll be illegal in australia.

25mm is a standard infantry base. Let's see this model.

For what it's worth, I found 30mm bases to be a great solution. Props to warboss for linking to my thread!

Another thought is if you need more weight, go to a hobby shop and get some (lead?) weights that they sell for pinewood derby cars. They are more dense than pennies so you can fit more weight into the underside of the base. You could also put some weights on top of the base and disguise them as rocks/debris/wreckage.

But I second scott, let's see the model!

If pennies didn't work you could try Uranium or if you want to go on the cheaper side Platinum. Both are heavier than lead

Or you could go for tungsten which is actually available to buy (for a fraction of the price of platinum) and is nearly as dense as plutonium.

yeah. and while I'm at it, I'll pour your models int sodium chloride, and hope theres some hydrochlorines in it.

furthermore, I'll cover your big toy bases in hydrogen dioxide.

really not into the idea of getting either uranium or tungsten for that model.

Oh, and S6, the model is currently under filler to solve the problem the glossy way. ;3

Tungsten washer'd only cost you about $10....

your pour salt onto their model, and cover their bases in HO2? (The word you were looking for is dihydrogen monoxide, BTW, which means H2O)

Use two or three coins then if you are worried about it, or bulk up the base with lead free pewter or similar metal/heavystuff you have laying around. or even make an outrigger off the oposite edge(the one that lifts up while setting the model down) and get the dog from the monopoly set and make it look like he is chasing your banner marine!
