UPDATE 2/13/25:

It was brought to my attention that the attached scad file is incorrectly doubling the length of the oval. This file was created during my early time with OpenSCAD and it is definitely wrong. Sorry to anyone that used it.

I have uploaded version 2. This file is improved and includes a simpler set of options for creating the standard set of 40k and AOS bases.

Description:

Enhance your Warhammer 40k miniatures with our collection of standard oval bases, predominantly designed for vehicles and mounts. Inspired by alannahk's original round bases and method for magnet mounts distribution, this collection is a must-have for every Warhammer enthusiast.

Key Features:

  1. Versatile Collection: This set includes standard sizes tailored for various Warhammer 40k models, ensuring you have the right base for every miniature.
  2. OpenSCAD Compatibility: For the DIY enthusiasts and customizers out there, an SCAD file is provided, allowing for easy modifications using OpenSCAD.
  3. Flat-Sided Design: Unlike the traditional Games Workshop bases, these bases come with flat sides. This design choice offers a different aesthetic and can be easier to work with for certain customizations.

Contribution Callout:

While these bases currently feature flat sides, any community member proficient in design who can modify them to have the iconic angled sides of standard Games Workshop bases is encouraged to do so. If you can make this update, please reach out! We're open to updating the files here or, if you prefer, you can remix and notify us. We'll be sure to give you a shoutout and reference right here.

Download Includes:

  • 3D model files in STL format.
  • SCAD file for OpenSCAD users.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

The original model is for round bases only. I designed an oval shape and then implemented the same approach to labelling and magnet positioning as featured in the original design. This remix required implementing the shape and adjusting the logic for magnet positions to accommodate the constraints of the new shape.
