Hello there! I'm wanting to take my boys to non-gw tournaments and after delaying it for long enough I'm looking to finally make the switch to 32mm bases. I have well over 200 boys that need doing so are looking for the most economical/quick way. How have you guys coped? Cheers

Definite plug:



The small gap between the top of the base and the top of the ring is very easily filled with wood filler in a squeezy tube (blob a bit onto your palette and stuff it into the gap with an old brush). Then PVA and/or your usual basing material to blend it in.

No need to prime, especially if painting black as PLA takes paint extremely well. I would suggest a coat of varnish once painted though.

I used two-part adapters for to redo all of my space marines in a similar way. Slightly more work than these one-piece designs, so I'd just find the cheapest set I can.

For most of my boyz I just cut the rim off the 25mm Base and glued the remaining disc on top of a 32 mm base. Add basing mats and good!
