I've got a MILLION slotta bases, mostly circles but some fantasy 25mm too, and I have no idea what to do with them! Can someone help me out? Any ideas?

Make cool looking objective markers.

Make fill ins as in stuff so that you dont need as many models.

Um ya thats all that comes to mind.

I've already made objective markers. I could make another set, I suppose, but that only takes care of 6 of the like 50+ I have.

hmmmm.....minefield terrain pieces? Perhaps?

Ammo stocks um campaign markers like some sweet weapons.

Movable trees.

Street light bases so you can move them.

If you have enoug bits you can make skinks that are diving all you need is a bit of watter effect maybe some grass and a few skink parts or similar things with other armies.

Mobile broken pillars.

Um ya

Eat them and gain great powers.

Attempt to make a square base for yourself.

Life size square base anyone?

I dunno I use them as mini frisbess sometimes. though you can also use them to make arrow slits in castles or viewports on buildings or structures like bunkers and the like.

Mail them to me...I can always use extra round slotta bases.

6 square bases + a bit of super glue + some toothpicks for interior support...

Hot damn custom dice

Ebay?
Or you could make things like gun platforms and other power ups for fun games. Like if you stand next to the force field generator you get a 4+ invulnerable save. Or healing stations. Teleportation arrays...
The list goes on and on. Just think of cool things that video games like Halo have.

Damage markers, for weapon destroyed, or smoke, etc.

Glue the square ones onto a piece of plasticard, put some flock in the gaps between, instant (but not terribly exciting) scenery piece.

Damn, someone beat me to it!

Barring charity, you can make snazzy status markers/tokens with freehand/printouts and/or bits. Detail them to serve as hatches and manhole covers. Use them to cap lengths of pipe for simple columns. Link square bases for small dioramas to serve as infantry block fillers. Stack them under things, one layer per day, and see if the subtle changes in room topography get noticed. Use them as display plinths for the miniature trophies you (could, hypothetically) make to give victorious and sporting opponents (if you want to make their day).

Square ones are pretty easy to glue to plasticard to make 'embossed'-looking walls/roofs. It can be done with round ones too, but takes more care and planning to end up with something sensible-looking.

Make a terrain board using only bases as terrain pieces, kind of like a tire yard.

very simple: take whatever basing material you have, apply to them, and then paint it uniform color (white, black, grey, etc). Go on feebay, sell them by the twenty.

Send them to me because I need bases xD

You could give them to me.
