Hi,

Does anyone have a source for square GW-style beveled bases? Just looking for simple blank (possibly plastic) bases in a variety of sizes?

Hoping to avoid scrounging around on ebay.

Yeah they do - but in Canada at least, most of the sizes are sold out, and presumably they won't be restocking them because they're not doing square bases anymore. I was also hoping to find some oddball sizes like 60mm square.

In my searches after posting this I did find that em4 Miniatures sells some - but only the standard sizes.

Try Proxie Models. They have a large selection of bases.

Looks like they have a lip rather than a bevel.

I've never seen 60mm square bevelled edge bases. Certainly GW never sold them, and the largest other size square bevelled edge bases I've seen are 50mmsx50mm and they are still available from places like eM-4.

Otherwise, there's a few places doing lasercut plastic 60mmx60mm square edge bases.
Like: http://www.minairons.eu/en/rectangular-bases/560-60mm-square-bases.html or
http://www.magistermilitum.com/60-mm-x-60-mm-black-plastic-bases-x12.html

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

I'd rethink ebay, there's a few sellers out of china with free shipping that I've been getting bases off of. They aren't GW branded, but they're new bases and similar or better quality. Shipping isn't terribly fast, but the price is right
