thymidine Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hey all, I am starting a Custodes army and want to be sure the base theme goes well with the amazing models. Does anyone know of any resin bases or scratch built techniques that compliment the Custodes look? I was thinking of marble temple kind of look, but I'm open to suggestions! Thanks for the help.

Kizzdougs Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 30k or 40k? I usually go for urban rubble or desert bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Have a look through Dragon Forge Design's site - lots of great styles there, and several are paved/cobbled/temples/ruins. Also, the high quality of the DF stuff is simply without compare IMO. :) thymidine, Brother Desultor, Nicodemus Doloroso and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thymidine Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Those Dragon Forge bases are perfect!! Thanks so much for the help. I'll post pics when I get them painted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aothaine Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I'm building mine with custom built bases and painting them up as marble with a golden Aquila in the center of the base. When I get one finished in 2020 I'll link a picture. ^_^ It is going to be black marble with the golden Aquila in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Sheol Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Scibor bases or Microarts bases are really good too In particolar Scibor Ruins range and Microarts Temple range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Sheol Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) yup dragon forge makes by far the best bases on the market.. its well worth the mild waitDragon Forge makes Good bases but Scibor or Microart ones are really more detailed and have more bling suitable for Custodes Scibor Ruins 40mm http://sciborminiatures.com/i/podstawki_round/big/Ruins40mmround01.jpg Microart Temple 40mm Edited January 6, 2018 by Master Sheol Stoic Raptor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just be aware that if you buy the Mircoart bases that that are all smaller than they're supposed to be. So 25mm is actually 22-23mm, 32mm is actually 29mm, etc. Otherwise, the Microart bases have very nice crisp details. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsky25 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The bases I'm seriously considering using are from Tabletop Art, called Ruins of Sanctuary. First found them demo'd by a different user here. Not sure if anyone has experience ordering from them before, but they look like a good setting for Custodes and interesting variety in design.

Those bases look Amazing!Never tried them though They look good but in their site they lack the bike bases 75x46mm oval This is the bigger problem with resin bases nowadays that you don't usually find all the sizes needed in the pattern you want for your army Lately GW introduced the new ovals for cavalry (60x32mm) and bikes (75x46mm) and not all the guys Who make resin bases have bases in this sizes and when they do they are really costy For example scibor makes 75x46mm bases with the round pattern but they cost about 7€ each and the release is only One variation while the old bike bases in the same pattern are in packs of three with 3/4 variation in design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantine Valdor Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I've just found the Imperial Palace bases from Dark Art Miniatures as of today, and I had to grab at least 5. I'm outside the UK, so shipping was a bit rough, but these look worth it. Hopefully they add another version of this for the bike bases, which look a bit smaller from the flyer that they offer. https://www.darkartminiatures.com/40mm_Imperial_Palace_bases/p1768314_17386083.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Valrak Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Great, I think they're 60mm btw, just checked. I will message him and ask if he can speed an order if I order a huge batch :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The dragon forge bases are fantastic. The set above I used for my Grey Knights and they’re in my thread. He does great work and they’re very consistent, but just be forewarned he can take quite some time to finish orders (I’ve made very large orders with him, and small ones). He’s always delivered though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sheol Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Dragonforge bases is the only one that have all the ranges in all the sizes available from GW and this makes building any force easier Pity cause there are guys like scibor or microarts that make bases with better details and designs However compared to the first sets that were quite simple the new ones are getting closer in quality of design to the european ones I like how dragonforge improved their designs ;) Edited January 22, 2018 by Master Sheol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the emperor is scottish Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I cant seem to get the link to work but scibor miniatures have some fantastic looking basing kits.Just Google Scibor miniature basing kits. Some pretty cool looking stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
