How do people make these kinds of bases: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WARHAMMER-40K-ELDAR-LOT-PROPAINT-FORGEWORLD-FW-/290839319303?pt=Games_US&hash=item43b75fd307 -I'm not looking on how to do the ice, etc, but how to people make/ where do they buy the bock bases? Thanks!

They are resin bases. There are a good few companies that make them and lots of people cast their own.

I have switched over to using them for my armies now, I find them easy to paint, much better stability (cuz of the added weight). You can usually find 10 for $10 of most 25-30mm bases. 5 for $10 on 40mm and so on....

Can you give me a link on where I can buy some, I'm soing snow eldar (like these) and I would love some to bring out the environment that my army is set in

I use the Secret Weapons Miniatures stuff, but I buy it from

www.miniaturemarket.com because they are cheaper for the product and the shipping.

www.secretweaponsminiatures.com Here you can see all of the bases they make.


War Store has a ton of them from a ton of manufacturers as well, Shipping is higher so buy in bulk to make it worth while.

BIGGEST thing with resin bases is, wash them in warm soapy water before trying to prime or paint them. I have found that for some reason they have a ton of mold release still on them. Also Plan out where you are going to put your models on which bases before painting them. It sucks to have a painted model and a painted base and then your sitting there trying to fit a round peg into a square hole.....
