One of the requests I frequently get asked for is bases. I've explored this several times and I haven't been able to do it yet due to costs. Textured bases are possible but aren't particuarly cheap and it's very hard to come up with deisgns that look right. Resin is fairly expensive and nobody wants a blank resin base due to the signifincatly higher cost over plastic, yet every miniatures gamer I know needs blank bases from time to time. So that leads to the question "Where to buy reasonably priced bases?"

Most smaller sizes are available on ebay or through bits sellers but the larger bases that are 40-60mm can be a bit pricey, which is why I was pretty excited to see a new start up company called Proxie Models is making some affordable larger bases. I have no connection with the company at all, but they have a solid product for a great price tag and I thought I'd try and spread the word to my fellow gamers. Independant hobby companies need all the help they can get.

Here's a Link to their site: http://proxiemodels.com/

The large 60mm bases work out to be .50 cents each which is some great pricing. Proxie also has standard bases as well as Cavalry bases ranging anywhere from 10 cents a base up to about 25 cents depending on which bases size you need.
