Title: Interesting basing idea
Post by: Chris Abbey on April 06, 2018, 11:54:42 AM: (https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/30124243_1881007845277765_684797514183868416_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=f8aa5f8271dbbe1f006096e2da992c8f&oe=5B6EECE4)

Cross shaped Clear Bases - These are 25mm round bases, as an experiment we cut them down to a cross shape to see how they would work.

We were surprised that figure stability increased as the cross shape could sit between small rocks and other terrain detail instead of sitting on top at an angle and that figures could be placed easier in and around terrain and that figures could be placed a lot closer together than the 'open order' or round or square bases.

I'm glad to see it working in action.

Who makes those figures you're using?

Figures are Lucid Eye Simians.
