Stonedog-7 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 So i'm finally going to tackle basing & painting my Dead Justice set and the extras i've been building up (2 Witchlings, 3 Guild Guard Autopsies & Ryle so far... Guardian & Drill Sergeant to follow) and i've hit something of a brick wall so i figured it's time to ask the community I've already decided to get a pack of Wyrd coffins so the "overkill" Death Marshall can have one and might have Dead J herself stood on one just to make her a little bigger but i just can't decide what bases to go for... my main choices are Micro Art Old Factory - properly wrecked landscape, works well with the "building fell on me" fluff http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=mas_hob_bbs_ofc_301_000 Micro Art Temple - solid, simple http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=mas_hob_bbs_tpl_301_000 Micro Art Skulls - not had a chance to use skull bases, they fit the look but don't blend in http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=mas_hob_bbs_skl_301_000 Fenris Cthulu Graveyard - nice graveyard bases and cheaper than microart http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30mm-round-DS-Mythos-Necropolis-cthulhu-graveyard-bases-/150588987864?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item230fcd99d8 What do people reckon? Any other choices to be recommended for someone in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I like the Fenris Games graveyard bases. May have to pick a pack of those up myself. Not so keen on Micro Art stuff. I picked up these for Zoraida and friends D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Damn you Daemonkin, now i'm eyeing up the Kerr & King dock bases, hadn't come across them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Don't Damn me, I was turned onto them by someone else on here. Damn them! They are very nice but they are not inserts, they are the entire base. I picked up 30mm, 40mm and 50mm versions for Zee. I've bookmarked the Fenris ones for some of my other models, Damn you! ;-) D.

aka_hazard Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I use fenris bases for most of my basing, good value and good design. They show the figure off without overpowering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I was going to use the Wyrd Graveyard bases but decided I really want to use those for my Lilith crew (and Neverborn stuff.) So I decided to go with the Wyrd's Victorian Streets (second favorite after the Graveyard ones.) I'm also working on some Guild additions to the Dead Lady J, but I decided the project was going to be Totally Wyrd (using only Wyrd models and parts [ and GS] for all the conversions.) Hopefully I can finish the last few details tonight and get them primered this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Shaper Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I used the Fenris Post Apocolyptic bases for my Dead Justice Crew. You can see them linked in my Sig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I thought they were the Fenris Post Apocalypse ones i saw Lord Shaper... they do look fantastic on your crew, just want something a little different Diehard, the wyrd bases are nice, but i find them a bit too expensive and after seeing a normal J crew on the graveyards they seemed a little cluttered Aka Hazard, yep, have used the egyptian ruins on my Skorne, do like Fenris' bases and the price is excellent and as you say, they don't overshadow the minis Daemonkin, oddly enough someone at the local club has a set of the dock bases from Kerr & King now that i didn't realise before, they seem even better up close so going to go and have another look at those and their other styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I almost always use Micro Arts now. I'd use the ruined factory for Dead J and crew (I used them for some of Levi's crew, my Freikorps, Miss Demeanor, and my Gunsmiths). I put my Lady J crew (well, J, the Judge, and her totem, at any rate) on Wyrd Graveyard bases, and you're right they are cluttered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistercactus Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 The Kerr and King stuff looked really nice, but there is an announcement on the front page that any orders received after 25th November won't ship until JANUARY 3RD! :thumpdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattyted Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I have used fenris bases for all my crews except my guild (who are on Wyrd sewer bases). Used the graveyard and woodland path ones. My only mild comment is that they do 30 and 40 mm graveyard bases but not a 50mm one. And with the woodland ones they only do 30mm. That said they sell a pack of little individual gravestones which helps keep bigger based models consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattyted Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Oh, and they are unbelievably fast at sending them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Shaper Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 You could try the Malcontent stuff: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/the_dark_templar/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562 His stuff can be seen on http://the-dark-templar.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Nice, those Malcontent sewer bases are excellent... shame he hasn't got to 40mm ones yet, though as i've only got to fit Ryle & a Guardian on mediums i can always mount the 30mm bases like raised inserts TattyTed, yeah i have noticed that with Fenris, some of the ranges are missing some sizes... luckily i'm not planning on a Peacekeeper and only need 2 40mm's as i'm not taking the crew to particularly large numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
