Ok, so I got my first box of WHFB critters today, a zombie regiment, and upon opening the box I imagine i made one of the funnier faces in my life. Surprise surprise, no bases. 20 zombies with nothing to stand on...either it's a cruel jab at their effectiveness (why bother standing up speedbumps) or GW has found yet one more way to nickel and dime an already pricey niche of the hobby world (an extra $5 for a bag only containing 20 appropriate bases out of 60).

Is this really how they run WHFB box sets, or was this just some random packaging mistake? I'm hoping it's the latter, since even in the financial black hole that is 40K they were merciful enough to include bases. And if it's the former, well...%(*&#!

Winning is good, explosions are better!

Totally a packing mistake. Get in touch with the store you bought it from (or GW directly) and they'll get your bases to you

I'm sure there will be a 15 disc super duper blu-wiener-ray edition that will have every little thing included. - Necros, on Watchmen

I once ordered 12 round bases from GeeDub and they sent me 12 sprues of bases ... Think I've finally burned out those 36 extras from all the fantasy -- 40k conversions, but thanks GeeDub!

Just make a fashion statement.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

Trust me, no matter what damage they have the potential to do, single-shot weapons always flatter to deceive in 40k.                                                                                                       Rule #1

I hope you Americans are aware of the special aspect of the tradition of wearing the kilt.

Something about that image... how the lead guys kilt is blowing backwards as if the wind had caught it. But the guy behind hims kilt is remaining still. Yet the guy behind him is turning his face away with a look of disgust on his face...

Yes. They pinched that idea from the film "Carry On Up The Khyber."

Im surprised you posted about this, especially in the news and rumours section, but Im with you on the hate surprises part at least.......

Go complain to the shop you bought it from or steal some bases from your bitz box/mate/games store or try all 3.

Yes, I am quite aware. But this has gotten far enough OT. My fault too, I know.
