View Full Version : Bridging the Gap with Dark Angels - 25mm to 32mm

I've had an odd modeling pet project kicking around for a while - making a 32mm base adapter for 25mm bases. I know updating isn't a requirement, but I really like having the extra space to play with (one of my Chaos Havocs is getting an Ammo Slave following him around :3).

I tried this out with a test-painted Dark Vengeance Tactical Marine I had lying around - didn't want to muss up one of Chaos' glorious Chosen on a test-drive, and it always bugged me how so many of the snap-fit Tactical's little toesy-woesies poked over the edge of their base. I'm pretty pleased with how he turned out!

I liked how I didn't have to redo the entire base, but I'm not sure if I'll use these for my Chaos guys - looking into flatter bases, the "pedestal" look is starting to bug me.

If you're interested in picking up some of these for yourself, check out my post in the Bazaar. (http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?54356-25mm-32mm-Base-Boosters&p=484811#post484811)

GW brings out a new base size to grief the 3rd Party Suppliers... the 3rd Party Suppliers turn it in to a new product. ;)

Feels weird to be called a supplier - technically accurate, made sure I could produce many copies w/ consistent quality before offering anything for sale - but still, I haven't sold anything and it's barely been 2 days since they went up on eBay :P
