They are lovely, when will we see any square/rectangular ones if at all?

I've a few Lizardmen that would appreciate 'em

Yeah the square ones will be released in October. The moulds are almost ready

I just noticed in the Micro Arts Studio store that you no longer have Mosaic bases in 25x25mm. Are you planning on bringing them back?

Not to be a downer, but how is one supposed to put a mini on those Jungle bases and look like they're standing IN a jungle, and not ON a bunch of jungle plants.

I would love some jungle bases for my Infinity models, but I really don't think they would work just standing on top of a bunch of plants.

It looks like you would have to drill out places for their feet to go to look like they're walking through jungle foliage.

I was just wondering the same thing.

Yeah, they're beautifully sculpted, but not really usable as bases.

I'll find a way, those are going to be the new bases for my Kroot army, that's for sure. They're excellent.

I'm not sure if I'll simply pretend they're lighter than the foliage, like water striders, chop off one foot to make it look like they're stepping out of the plants, or something else entirely (dynamic jumping poses for the entire army?).

I've been waiting for someone to make proper jungle bases that don't have mesoamerican ruins in them to cater to Lizardmen armies, thank you!

Edit: After looking at them for a bit longer, I think the only way one would be able to pull it off would be to dremel an area of plants away for the feet and then attempt to 'rebuild' around them with some loose leaves or plants. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head would be the GW Death World Basing Kit:



It may take some effort to get the proper results, but since I enjoy the modelling aspect of the hobby I won't mind.

Yeah they should be ready till end of the year. This is one of this sizes we forgot about

You're really going to need to do this for the flying stand base. :(

Any plans to do 25mm x 50mm bike size bases as well?

The sculptor will prepare all lacking sizes

Some nice previews of things to come:

I know that there were some complains about the design but I want to announce that we have painted some of the bases and released the rectangular ones











Jungle Bases

in our on-line store.

Beautiful!

Makes me want to play something jungle based!

(Oh god...a PUN!)

Alright, I think that's the first Tyranid Aegis that actually look good.

The only 'complaints' were - how do you get a miniature to look like he's actually IN the jungle, as opposed to ON the jungle?

Aside from some heavy dremmeling/modding, which would be a shame as it would also partially destroy the base, and it is beyond my modeling skills to then 'repair' the details.

Anyone have pics of what they've done wiht these bases, and other 'busy' ones like them?

Exactly. Having models stand on stone or road or whatever is expected, but standing on top of puffy leaves? And how are we supposed to stick a flight stand onto that big oval base?

And that's going to be a problem unique to the jungle theme bases. Other "busy" bases are acceptable because they're sculpted to be something hard that a person in power armor would actually stand on or a chariot would roll over. Undergrowth is something you move through.

Chop off feet, pin onto base. looks as if feet are obscured by undergrowth.

depends on model if it looks good, though.

And really, with a flight stand I wouldn't worry too much - that transparent stuff is meant to look as if it "isn't there" anyway.

TBH I prefer brass rods painted black for flight stands and that would be easier, but you could easily just cut out a cross-shaped "slot" for the flight stand with a dremel or something like that to slot it into as well.

Easily? Clearly you missed the part I quoted from Alpharius...

I think that applies to many of us. More, apparently, than you realize.

Talked to the Micro Art folks at the world's biggest games fair, the Spiel in Essen, Germany (154k visitors compared to GenCon's 50k).

A new Tau-Ceti building was on sale and I bought the last one. Give me some time to paint it decently, but it is a single story building about 5.5"/14cm diameter with some appendages. They are planning to release more Xeno buildings.

They are also planning on releasing some more Infinity markers, among them a Haris marker - that's what I was told when I mailed them some time ago.

Discworld Boardgame Pawns in our on-line store

An official supplement for "Discworld: The Witches" board game designed for its Polish editor - Phalanx.
The box includes 4 unpainted, resin miniatures:

Tiffany Aching
Dimity Hubbub
Petulia Gristle
Annagramma Hawkin

As the supplement includes only miniatures it works well with foreign versions of the game.

Oh...now that is sweet...

I have the boardgame, and almost every other DW model from Microart, so I see an order being placed in my near-future . . .

Sweet as. Disk world is one of my favourite universes so its nice to see them getting some model love.

Any chance of seeing some Nac Mac Feegles?
