MetaphoricDragn Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'll see about getting a picture when I'm done with the minis, but I got the blue ones to go under my starting Cult of December, they work really well under Dark Age's clear resin base inserts.

Stonedog-7 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I got some in my Gencon order and i'm really happy with them Didn;t have chance to grab more than a quick snap with the phone so i apologize for the awful photo but it does get the effect across nicely Models are only assembled and attached to inserts at this point, that's my one and only annoyance with the product, have to leave the bases off until i'm done painting to avoid possible paint marks on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifonetto Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Since you mention it, I'll repost my Mei Feng and Emberling -- just wish I had bought some Medium and Large clear bases so I could do the whole crew on them: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clousseau Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Have to say they all look much better than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausplosions Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yeah, I'm still glad I didn't get any. At least for basing models. Counter/markers etc maybe but don't like the way models look on them. But each to their own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassarus Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 No, dosen't do it for me. I think I'll stick with the regular bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDL1113 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 This model has a 30MM on top of a 50MM on bottom. its just a play Model to look cool when i am doing Demo's for new players.. I use the 30mm on top for all game purposes. I built it like this so that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Now that is a pretty neat use for the transparent bases (brilliant execution by the way). I was thinking about using them for basing other miniatures that require facing markings such as Mercs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 That is pretty awesome! Very nicely done. That would be fun to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtleclub13 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I will admit it does look a little better than I thought it would. I might just have to pick some up myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 The best I've seen are their use on the Rasputina crew. BUT (and this is nothing against the examples shown here) I am just not seeing it. IMHO, they just look like cheap plastic and actually detract from the models. I can see some cool uses with LED lighting effects, but other than that, MEH. Overall, they just offend my aesthetic sensibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDL1113 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Cadilon I agree with you but I also think when used right they can look really really nice... For me,,, Ramos is my main crew when I am playing for fun and not in competition. In my Ramos Crew I have a few of the master.. This you can see in my Just Off The Table Thread.. http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?36147-Just-Off-My-Table-Model-Update-Take-A-Look!!! I Use this Clear base Ramos just to show off what is possible and what people can do to personalize models... It is just a fun peace to have in a crew is really my point... But I do agree when done wrong a clear base can look worse then a black one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I would probably like the clear bases better if they didn't have the slots already in them. They just don't look right with having to cover the slot on so many models, or having the model on its slot blocking part of the whole translucent effect.
