Incidentally, I cover basing suggestions in detail in the website. I`ll be publishing the website publically within the next few weeks.

thanks ssd. so, would the euro cent coins be rouphy analogous in size to the coins we have in america? (remeamber I am a yank, its the reason I am waiting 4 weeks to get my first batch of minies) the coins do sound like a good Idea, but I am not quite sure how well their round shape would do with the massed sqaure blocks of men in WHFB. now, I am no GW rule nazi, and I plan to use any and all rulesets with my minies that I can get my hands on, but the problem is that with sqaure bases I would be able to do both GW and others, while round, I think I would only be able to do others. PS: looking forward to see your website!

Oh jeee, um... I have no idea I`m afraid. I only know Euro I`m afraid. ÃŒ lived in Canada for a while, but I can`t remember the coins at all 

there must be some good equivalent ones there. When you see them in the site you`ll get a better idea of the sizes I use and can work it out yourself from there. I like the coins too because they add a bit of weight to the minis, and definitely helps them stand up better on difficult or tilted (hills) terrain. However, like all things, it’s down to personal choice at the end of the day.

Hmmmm, round over square bases    With Warhammer (much more so in the early days) it was always a choice between round and square. Square tended often to be Warhammer, while Warhammer 40K used rounds. But there was much personal choice involved at the time, and you`d often see both being used for either game.

Personally I like rounds, but that’s just personal choice...  even when 10mm playing mass combat (individually based) games. I always liked the way the round bases looked on GW`s LOTR table top battle game; my DWC Mass Combat rules work well for me using roundels too, but again, it’s just down to personal preference really.

However, if you used 20mm bases for your games, you`d never fit the bases onto the Pendraken resin Dungeon Tiles should you ever wish to go that route â€" which I`d strongly advise you do try at some stage. There`s somethin gabout a dungeon crawl in 10mm which just inspires love at first sight.

....... a lot of people seem to prefer using little metal or rubber washers for bases. You know, the kind youd find in most hardware store. But you`d have to make sure when you found the right ones that the store can get more in. Either that or buy all you think you`ll ever need in one go.

Basing. If you go single figure then you need metal bases to give some stability. I used 12mm washers for my single based figures.

If you are wanting to play war hammer in 10mm then I would like at multi-figure basing, I would do some 20x20mm bases with 3 or 4 figures per base, I would also do a few larger bases to make movement easier, larger bases also give the chance to do mini dioramas.
