So after searching high and low for 28.5mm washers for my tyranids (eff off games workshop!) bases, and coming up with only a 27 that is too thick, a friend came up with this idea. Buy 6-32 cheap steel nuts. My local hardware store had them 100 for $3.39. Glue them under the base. 4 or 5 per base to add heft to the mini and stick to my magnet lined storage boxes. Genius.

Seriously, GW, 28.5mm?

Damn, you figured out GWs master plan, now they have to make 28.75mm bases.

And here I thought they just charged $90 for $7 worth of plastic and packaging.....

No. That's just a red herring. The truth was more subversive. You just can't tell anyone, or else...
