As the title says, I've settled on my new Tyranid list, and I want to invest in some nice Resin bases for them to sit on, so here are some links to the ones I like, and if you lovely wibbly peoples could tell me which you prefer it'd be much appreciated ^_^

Opinions please ^_^

Either alien invasion or blasted wetlands. I voted alien invasion though, because they seem more unique and fitting for a nid horde.

Thanks for the vote, and those two were in my top three lols. I'm so indecisive when it comes to this stuff :/

Blasted wetlands, simply because if you use the alien bases your army will look too busy and everyone's eyes will get drawn to the bases rather than the models. You can use a mix of both if you use the alien bases on special models to help denote how dead they will make your enemies.

My main issue with the alien invasion bases is they should be painted the same colours as your model. Which makes it hard to tell where the model ends and the base begins.

Which is why I included the Steel Invasion & Urban Invasion options. But also, If I were to choose the Alien Invasion Bases, I would paint them flesh-like and semi slimey to represent the internal features of the Hive ships.

I'm slightly tempted to do the army on a mixture of Alien Invasion & Urban invasion bases, with the majority being the Urban ones, to play on the seeding of a planet by the Tyranids

Thoughts?
