I'm using the hand-made ULTRA-INVISO™ 20MM BASES that Wolf Girl, aka Mila Phipps, creates for the Phipps Cartel, aka
Pulp Alley, game, store, lifestyle, cult, or obsession, whichever you prefer.
http://store.pulpalley.com/product-p/1320.htm Or I'm rolling mine own with the handy dandy rusty trusty punch stolen from the leather shop, or a mech one I purchased from Michael's.
Mind you these are purely for individual figures in Pulp Alley skirmish games using multifarious environments.
The very thin-ness of Mila's ULTRA-INVISO™ bases is what sold me, over other offerings out there.
To me they look & "feel" better with un-based vehicles, aircraft, buildings & scenery, whether next to or ON 'em.
I quite like the way the thin discrete ULTRA-INVISO™ bases make my figures look standing on ANYTHING.
The thicker Litko ones I've got may see use for critters or plot points, or or weapons, or simple scenery pieces. They come in several different heights.
Chris Abbey at Sally 4th does nice variety of clear bases too, though being cross pond I've not yet tried them:
