Resin Bases - Foundation of War - Review
I was doing a trawl through eBay.co.uk for any deals on resin bases, when I came upon the Foundation of War shop. They also have their own webshop here:

They have a large range of square, rectangular and circular bases in various themes. What astonished me was the price, eg. £2 for ten 25mm or three square 50mm or one round 60mm base.
I purchased a few of their lava bases and was so impressed that I bought their ruined temple bases for my Slaaneshi forces.
They are really good and paint up well with well defined shapes that give depth to what is, actually, a flat base.
The pic shows a few bases, there are quite a range of different sculpts so things don't look too samey.
The only criticism I would make is that it is obviously a small outfit and can be a bit slow to deliver - up to eight days - but I can wait.
The price-quality ratio is excellent - they don't overcharge on postage either.

Nice find. I really dig the laval bases. It seems there is a new company every week putting out resin bases and so far they have all had some really nice product.
ReplyDeleteI just bought some Rocky Outcrop bases for my Skaven Warpfire throwers... they're great products, and sooo cheap!
ReplyDeleteI love those bases. They actually look like they're made from real ceramic. I'll check out the foundations of war site.
