Was browsing around online, and noticed that Wizkids produces standard bases in different colors, I was wondering if the bases between the two games were the same (since I am pretty sure the system is). They're inexpensive enough that I wouldn't be losing out much by just ordering a set, but I figured I'd ask here first.

The bases for Attack Wing and X-Wing are not compatible. The Attack Wing bases are longer than the ones for X-Wing. Too bad because the bases are one thing that WizKids did better than FFG.

That is too bad. I was mostly interested because the pegs actually match the color of the base whereas the others I have found in differing colors generally have clear pegs. Oh well, the search continues.

Here's a cheap way of getting coloured bases:

Just make sure to make long strokes rather than quick back and forths to make the colours look uniform.
