These guys don't have much to offer me, I'm strictly Dark Age, but they do have some cool resin bases to offer.
First are these 30mm, 40mm and 50mm sci-fi bases. Don't look for them on the site, they're not released yet. ;) News after Salute as to their release date.

I especially like this one because they mention that it would be good for Dark Age Brood or Dragyri:

Those are pretty cool!
Also, Jeff Wilhelm is starting up a resin base line. Check these out. He's sculpting more to come.

Yeah, I saw these the other day. Coolness. I could see the Forsaken on these.
Thanks for sharing, Wayne.

I just gotta convince Jeff to make em in Dark Age base-shoulder style!

Those new Kerr bases should look really cool painted up. I think they would fit the Dark Age Forsaken. Their current line doesnt appeal to me much. Too busy with weird skulls. Well...maybe they would fit Brood!

Easy-peasy. When I get premade resins that aren't DA style, I take a bunch of them, fill in the slot with drywall compound then set them aside for a couple of days. Then I use a spade bit and drill out the center, leaving the shoulder intact. File and scrape this 'donut' then drop it over the resin base. Works a treat.

Now, why didnt I think of that?! :wink: Great tip! Probably would work with my Forstner bits too

Epicast (http://epicast.com/) make DA style* bases. Always thought they looked good but I was only playing that french game at the time :)
Micro Art Studios (http://www.microartstudio.com/shop/catalog) make nice bases too, but not in the DA style*.
*when I say DA style i mean the rounded edges/shoulder style :)

Ah yes, the Groundforge bases. He's just come out with a new series, the Industro series.
Check them out. (http://www.groundforge.co.uk/)
I especially like this one (on the left), really breaks the mold...so to speak.

they all look great, but resin bases are so expensive for what you get.. a base that costs as much as the model.. arrghhhg

Wayne you have to show me how to do this, I got a couple of non-shoulder/lipped bases that I want to put in DA bases.
