Basing gobbo spears

[Black Shuck (Ben)]

Good Afternoon, I fell off the oldhammer wagon for a bit and had a strange urge to paint modern stuff, that madness has now passed so I'm beginning a new project. My goblins have sat waiting for too long and they will be perfect for fighting my empire men. Getting these gobbos to rank up is an absolute nightmare so I have been slicing up MDF bases in an effort to make a solid unit. I considered removing the tabs but a little voice in my head said no.

Good stuff, I would drill and pin myself.
But then I would do single bases.

Are these double bases 20 x 40mm?
Will there be singles?

Yes, these are double bases (20 x 40)
I have 40 gobbos to base up and most will be on singles, I might do a 40 x 40 base as well with some sort of gobbo shenanigans going on

Awesome, can't go wrong with gobbo shenanigans.

I was fortunate to get some of those plastic regiment bases for my night gobbos, the one with the little round baselets you can turn to help stuff rank up. After all, you aren't usually removing JUST ONE gobbo are you?!

I have a bunch of those, been saving them for when I finally get round to painting my nightmare legion

Does anyone still make that style of base??

basically just a 20mm square with a say, 15mm round in the middle so you can rotate? if they don't, that sounds very easy to make.. someone show me a couple of decent images and I'll make a printable in a few miniatures if anyone wants

Shudder. Hope you enjoy that, I found them some of the least pleasant miniatures to paint.

Boy, those bases are small.. Smallest round plastics I have are 20mm but they are 17-18 mm or so.. so the tray to be 20mm by 60mm.

So as not to derail much:

Round Trays?

Coming out of Black Shuck (Ben) post on his goblin basing, it ended up talking about old Citadel base trays which were 3 small round bases which went in a 20x60mm movement tray like base to help with lining up or something. anyway.. didn't take long to sort out a design Two types. One appears...
