Hi, I am trying to make a chess set for my younger brother. I used to paint warhammer doods, just for the painting, and was thinking of making the pieces out of warhammer doods. I have a nice marble chessboard, but some pieces have been lost/damaged over the years.

Anyhow the chess squares are 1.5'' x 1.5'' Are all figurine bases small enough to fit inside this ? Can certain figurines not stand shoulder to shoulder like this ? I'm probably going to purchase the figurines on the website and I'm thinking of orcs vs elves, or maybe orcs vs empire.

If anyone has a reference that shows base dimensions, or some suggestions or useful information that would be great !

Thanks

cool idea

Most figures should be able to fit inside that. Your standard 25mm base is equal to 0.984251969 inches, so it should fit inside.

25mm square and round bases BOTH fit inside that spacing.

The next size up, 40mm, are just out (by less than 1/16 ").

You CAN also get (from other sources) 30mm round bases.
