Skirmish trays for SAGA/Dux Brit

[Timbor]

Hi folks,

I am looking to expand my historical skirmish forces, and will likely need some more skirmish trays.  I have some of the warbases trays - http://www.warbases.co.uk/?view=true#/dux-brittaniarum/4566290181 which, while nice, have hideous shipping fees for international orders.  Does anyone know of any suitable alternatives for 8-man 25mm round skirmish trays?

Fenris does 20mm trays, so it would be a custom order to do 25mm trays. 

4Ground has 25mm trays in square formation rather than skirmish: http://www.4ground.co.uk/Default.aspx?page=268&pid=242  Their prices are real nice, and shipping is very reasonable, so I may just go with their trays.  But it would be nice to have some decent trays in skirmish formation.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I have made several purchases from Warbases and have only found their shipping (to Oz) expensive if my actual order has been small.

10 of their 8-man trays would cost me $24 (£15.50) plus $14.40 (£9.29) in shipping charges.  That's 60% of the order value in shipping charges.

If I were to order 50 of them (out of curiosity sake to make a big order...) it would cost $120 plus $60 in shipping according to their cart - 50% of order value for shipping.  Somewhat excessive, I would think...

That is the same for any order to the rest of the world.

EDIT:

To compare, when ordering from 4Ground, it starts out with a somewhat pricey flat rate of  10GBP for shipping, but once your order hits 50GBP it drops to 5.5 GBP.

So if I were to order 50 of their 8-man trays (actually only 17 of their base packs, as each one comes with 3 movement trays) it would cost 25.5GBP (~$40) plus 10GBP shipping ($15.50), which is about 40% of the order value for shipping at that rate.  However, with such value for their product, I would likely order another 25GBP of product to get the discounted shipping.

Too bad their 8-man trays aren't skirmish trays... perhaps I will send them an email about custom orders.  It would probably still work out cheaper, and I bet they would sell really well for the price point if they made them widely available.

Wasn't someone doing something with clear plastic rings and lasers? I recall Capt. Blood's WOTR types on them...

I think JimBibbly does those (Oshiro).

PM me what you're after and I'm sure we can sort something out.

The litko skirmish trays look nice, but there is no bulk set for the 8-man tray, meaning it would cost $7 apiece before shipping 

Yup, that's me

Made the mistake of clicking on Cap'n Blood's link. 

All movement trays should look like this.  There should be a law.

Correspondence with James initiated.

My Dux Westerosum project just got more involved.  But it's all about making it look good.

I'm loving the inspiration that comes from this forum.
