Hi there!

I have several older metal miniatures (WH40k), where the base sizes have changed with newer editions.

As the base size of e.g. my Grey Knight Troops have now increased, I wonder if there are any easy click-on bases to purchase, where the original base is increased by a ring (or so) to match the current base size.

If there is anything like that out there, I cannot find it due to my lack of words in English. ):

Does anybody know where to look for and how it is correctely called in English?

Thank you!

Cheers,
Amaurosis

Here’s one option: https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk/product-category/base-adapter-rings

Haven’t tried them yet but I do intend to. There are various options out there, I just searched slightly different phrases around ‘28mm slotta base adapters’.

If you know someone with a 3D printer, then there are freely available stls for this as well. Possibly even better as you get split versions they are able to get a more flush finish.

Can vouch for these, they clip on snugly and a bit of glue to secure them works well. I've converted the bases on my Eldar with them.
