I recently watched a 30k battle report on YouTube where one of the forces was entirely based on clear plastic bases. At first I though "man that's pretty lazy" but as the game went on I was struck by how cool they looked from a gaming standpoint where it was more like the models were standing on the actual ruins or playmat as it were. What are everyone's thoughts on this style of basing? Lazy? Cool? No room in 30k?

I personally like them but they need to be a bit on the thin side or they make the model look like they're floating. Also some models don't work as well because they have part of a base included like someone standing on a rock.

I would cheer for clear bases over unpainted bases any day. They do look pretty cool when played on gaming mats or nicely painted terrain. For me personally, I like the cinematic of designing your own bases, but all in all, clear bases are legit. If you guys are interested, you can purchase them from Litko games. Just be careful when super gluing your guys, don't use too much or the base will frost. 32mm Bases

Extra mats & terrain will be on our first voting ballots after the Zone Mortalis board is purchased. |

With clear bases you are guaranteed to lose any and all painting competions.
