Jeff of Dragon Forge Design has just started his third Kickstarter, this time to expand his range of Tech-Deck bases. Lots of different shapes and sizes available and, importantly, the existing range (25mm, 32mm, 40mm etc etc) can also be had as add-ons at a discount. I backed his first KS (Ancient Ruins) and was very happy, and I've been supremely pleased with all the purchases I've made from his webshop over the last few years. Very, very nice bases.

I'm not sure about this one for myself as I don't do so much sci-fi stuff, but they would certainly make splendid bases for 40K, Space Hulk or the like.

A few pictures of the bases, check out the KS page for much, much more.

Kinda bummed they're not more like this:

Jeff added some more 60mm base options to the kickstarter. Some seriously sweet bases!

those bases are looking good, they have also added a sci-fi column to the range

Yup, Jeff has added some terrain stuff which seem quite popular as this is now closing in on getting funded. I actually just painted up the pillars I got from the Ancient Ruins KS, and I really like them; this one looks pretty sweet too.

The kickstarter was funded a few days ago successfully, but still has a few days left if you want to get the 25-30% off the bases.

This post was funny in general, but wins extra points for perfect timing, being the first responce.

Exalted.

As for the kickstarter itself, there is nothing worng with those bases, They are attractive enough, but not particularly original.

The pillar and stretch goals show much more creativity.

This campaign is now counting down in hours, and is very close to unlocking the second stretch goal. Check it out!

Huh, yeah, I guess it's a matter of taste. Dragon Forge is my favorite supplier of bases, and what I love about them is that they are kind of subtle, not crazy over-the-top, and always sculpted with the idea that a mini is supposed to be placed upon them (i.e. they have a flat surface!). They keep it simple, which for me is perfect for bases. I really like the resin they're cast in too; it feels solid and durable.

I think Dragon Forge is also the most consistent when it comes to base quality.
