Bases

[Gorrath]

I'm about to start a Viktorias crews and I'm gonna pay someone to paint my crew because I suck at painting.

I'm trying to find some nice resin bases to go with my crew but I haven't read the Malifaux "fluff" yet and don't really know what kind of bases would fit with the Malifaux setting.

Any recommendations for bases for a Viks crew?

Something from Dragon Forge or Back 2 Base IX or any other online store.

Which ones did you use for your crews?

Thanks

If you want to make sure they fit the setting, Wyrd sells inserts.

As above, I'm using the tasty sewer base inserts .

I like the cobblestone bases from Dragonforge. I have used them for a lot of my Warmachine mercenary force and they look good.

I plan to use these bases for the majority of my malifaux models - other than Gremlins and other odd stuff.

I also prefer Wyrd's bases for the weight they add to the base. Making some of the figs less top heavy and less likely to get knocked over.

Having said that, the fantastic thing about Malifaux is that really ANY base fits the setting. The only ones that fall short are things like space ships and alien type bases. But, you can even explain those as deck plating used in the mining shafts and some Neverborn or Containment zone or Dreamer-warped section of the world.

I use bases from Scibor a lot. The only challenge I've had is that not all of the lines use the lipped bases. So they can be a little small. But, I picked up a table mounted belt sander and sand the bottoms off and then pin the to the Wyrd base and it works fine.
