Title: Need 25mm Round Bases
Post by: Benjamin on April 25, 2011, 02:43:15 AM: I've been working on building my MegaBattle force. Between 1 box of Bloodletters and 2 boxes of Daemonettes, GW only packed 10 round bases.

I need twenty 25mm bases, not slotted. I have plenty of 25mm square bases (slotted and not) to trade, a bunch of 40 square bases and even a bag of 20mm square bases.

Cheers,
Alan

Appreciate the offer, Serring, but Abington is a 45 minute drive one-way for me. Gas at $3.81 / gal yesterday. :| Don't suppose you ever get up to Plainville? (No special trips, please! :) )

I could call GW, but how is their response time?

If you go this route, there's a chance they'll send you entire new kits.

I'd imagine they would send the bases out quickly. Several of the guys have done stuff like this before, I'm sure they can comment.

If I had to guess, I'd say it would be the normal, 1-10 business day ship.

There's been talk about why it's better for them to do it that way. Things about how it would be cheaper for them to simply send out new boxes than pay people to keep bits organized.

Post by: Benjamin on April 26, 2011, 06:48:06 PM: In theory, there would have to be some initial organization, so they're already paying people for that... But in my case, it looks like trained monkeys picked out bases at random.
