For Clear (or other colors for that matter) Acrylic bases you can buy them at:

He can also make custom bases and tokens. I have purchased custom  Action Point tokens from him that he assisted me in designing for a game called Pulp City.

I have bought acrylic bases from Fluxlaserstudio. Many 25 mm bases and some 40 mm ones for large creatures. Nice product.

I am really happy I have decided to switch from classic bases to clear as the miniatures will be 100 % multi-purpose. I also like the effect on the table. The minies look great whenever I put them. My first thug and some non-Frostgrave miniatures for comparison:

I'll echo your sentiment re: chainmail bikinis  ;)  but more to the point, those are some seriously awesome conversions!  Especially the crone, so little was actually changed but what you did change is utterly effective.  I have that same Undertaker (though mine may be the Bones version) and I'm not sure I noticed the skulls, I'll have to take a look now that I've seen your example.  :)

Those two are a bit nice :)

What did you use to sculpt the hair on the necromancer? Doesn't look like green stuff, some very sharp detailing on it too! Well done conversion.

There was a couple of skull ornaments on his gear. Sorry for misleading wording :)

I used to work with green-stuff but switched to epoxy putty by Tamya recently. I prefer the light colour and it doesn't bend after drying.

My starting warband for the campaign: war hound, thug, infantryman, apprentice Rupert, thief, thug, Old Sal, treasure hunter, archer, crossbowman. They did quite well in the testing games and Old Sal is determined to keep Lady Luck on her side by any means - including human sacrifices ;)



Detail pictures of the warband + additional javelineer, treasure hunter, man-at-arms, tracker, second archer & former warband member (zombie) for Raise Zombie spell.

Nicely painted figures.

I also love the clear bases. I use lead weights to weigh Plastic figures down, but if I didn't I would use clear bases for sure. Dang I really like that look.

Thanks for encouraging comments :)

My next goal is to paint creatures for level 1-12 encounters. Among them are these ghouls. Two of them are pure Mantic ghouls (just with the spikes removed). The hungry gentleman and the charming ghoul lady were converted with Mantic sci-fi zombies parts.

Those clear plastic bases do look great.  What do you use to glue the figures to the base, without fogging the clear plastic?

I did considere pinning, but in the end I just use a little bit of superglue (small drop on each foot). It works well even for the metal miniatures :)  Although I need to say I am quite careful with my figures.

If you plan to use the same style of bases, I highly recommend you to get similar tool. Razor blade is absolutly great for cutting metal miniatures from bases.  I was even able to get this Oldhammer toad from its minibase without demaging its tiny feet! Just be careful, the tool is really sharp.
