So I wanted to rebase all my models (some 25 space marines) but in my local hobby store (and only one that sells GW stuff) they don't have any. I had no idea where to get any and I'm afraid ot order anything from internet - still waiting for my 10 sternguards and the non-updating tracking number is pissing me off. So I decide to create my own bases. I made 34 mm circles from the place where my mom works. They cut foam on an old machine that cuts the foam with a heated wire. When I went home I covered them with glue, because they are kind of soft and can break, but it seems that glue didnt help much. So I painted them anyway and glued some rocks with a glue that can glue resin models. I have no Idea how playble this can be and Im afriad they can break off durring transportation and playing, but I hope it will endure.

Here are the attempts:

We have only 1 game shop. Roughtly 50 people play miniwargames in my country.
However if the foam bases does not stand the test of time I will have to rebase again, but this time be patient and order from internet.

If your game shop normally stocks and sells GW items, they should be able to order the 32mm base packs in for you. Just ask the owner or manager if they could special order them for you.

I've got a solution for you. From your profile location, you're from Bulgaria, right? Why not 3d print them locally? You can find a collection of 3d models of bases, including 32mm bases for free here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:850796
Then you can find someone to print it for you on 3dhubs, which works as a kind of craigslist for 3d printer owners, where they can rent their services.
Here are a few in Bulgaria

https://www.3dhubs.com/3dprint#/?place=Sofia&latitude=42.6978&longitude=23.3217
https://www.3dhubs.com/3dprint#/?place=Varna&latitude=43.2047&longitude=27.9105

That's the best alternative that I can remember, hope it hepls

Hi guys. Sorry for posting a thread and not answering. Thank you very much for the help. And thanks jdteixeira and everyone that helped me. 3D printing is something that I will do soon.
For now my homemade bases are stable. I can post more pics if anyone is interested.
