Package just arrived from Pendraken....around 400 bases, some nice basing materials, and a pack of medieval command figures. Once I get them painted up I can start the marathon basing of all my crusader infantry! And a nice new shiny metal ruler that doesn't have half the numbers worn off.

The Pendraken bulk deals are too good to pass up. I won't be using them all for my crusaders! Just wanted to stock up for future so got a bunch of 40x40 and 40x20. Though now thinking I may need to bulk buy 40x30 too... Next time.

The trouble i find ordering loads of bases is that you get so used to having them "in stock" that you re surprised whe you run out.

True but when I have lots of little bags I always think I've got another one in the box somewhere so am a bit miffed when I realise I don't!
