I've got an oval one that's 170ish by 105ish mm, is that the largest?

Thanks

The largest plastic bases GW sells are 170mm x 105mm oval and 160mm round bases.

Thank you

Hmmm, 160mm round eh, if I could remember my basic geometry I'd know which had a bigger footprint

I'd help, but, you know, I'm not versed in the black arts.

But yeah, that's why I brought up the round alternative. Might be better suited depending on what you have in mind.

I like to drill 26mm holes into large bases to make movement trays for minis, like this-



I want to make one large enough for a unit of 20, the 170mm oval can fit approx 17 minis in this way and was hoping the 160 round might do 20.

I can figure it with a compass and some paper because rounds are easy.

14,153sq.mm for the oval, if my calculatorising went all proper.

20,106sq.mm for the circle.

Brilliant! Thank you.
