This is the collection of unit bases I made for my tabletop gaming miniatures. There are bases for units from the size of a two man team, up through a 21 man hoard, and includes multiple configurations where appropriate to try and keep space optimized best for your shelves. Configurations have various classifications:

  • Line: One single line of figures
  • Double Row: Two staggered lines of figures
  • Triangle: Triangular shaped arrangement
  • Diamond: Diamond shaped arrangement
  • Fishtail: Pointed on one end and indented on the other
  • Off-Base: Non-symmetrical ends
  • Barbell: Not optimized for space, but looks nice for units of 12
  • Hex: Six flattened sides

Bases can be used as is, but include spaces for magnetizing with a 10x1mm insert, either a magnet, or else a blank metal strike plate.

The design accommodates 25mm round bases, and includes the files I use for my own figure bases. Two versions are included, one simply rounded, and the second with notches on the edges, which I use to denote NCOs and other special figures. Figure bases are 2.5mm high, and include space for a 10x2mm magnet.

In addition is included the ‘bulged’ pill base that I designed to use for Bolt Action, as even figures on pill bases are supposed to be treated like they are on 25mm round bases, the bulge allows for easily checking where the 25mm round base's perimeter would be.
