I reacently bought some Ushabti off of some friends and some of  'em still have
rocks on their base that are stuck on there pretty good.  I want to get them off to flock them with sand so please tell me an easy way(preferably)to get them of.  Thanks.

What did he use as the adhesive?

Simple PVA glue is the most common glue for basing, and is water based, so try a bit of hot water and see what happens.
Of course PVA isn't the strongest stuff either, and usually will break apart with a little force.

In the end, if nothing seems like it is working, just go buy a bag of new bases and cut the old ones off.

Tie a piece of string between the rock and the doorknob and then slam the door really quickly.

Sometimes it's easier to take the figure off the base and rebase it.

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.
