Resin bases and me didn't get off to a very good start as I mentioned earlier today, years and years ago before gravity had been discovered I brought some resin bases to mount some nicely converted knights onto. Things didn't start well, doing my usual washing trick with the resin and even though the water could be fairly described as tepid they started to dissolve a little bit like an Alka-Seltzer, things went from bad to worse when the first one I managed to save had more air bubbles in it than an Jacuzzi!!! In the end I binned them, muttered something about never again and cursed the gaming gods!!! However it turns out though things have moved on a fair chunk.
As I'm sure I may have mentioned at least once or twice now, I have turned into a pretty damn lazy hobbyist. Whereas before I'd gladly whip out the green stuff, slate, sand and plasticard now I just want an already done base and for me to just pin my minis to their already wonderfully sculpted bases. In my Games Workshop days I have to be honest and say the thought of plumping for resin bases for an entire Warhammer Fantasy Battle army brought me out in hives and gave me panic attacks... but since I'm now playing skirmish games its not so bad.
Its one of the many reasons I'm starting to love the smaller game systems because you can afford to go to town on things like resin bases to make your entire force look super awesome. So imagine my delight when my lazy eyes saw the Omega Prime bases from Dragon Forge Designs. It was meant to be, as I was trying to work out whether I was too lazy or not to dig out a compass cutter and some plasticard for mounting my Aleph force, and then a solution presented itself to me, so perfect it'd have been rude not to!!!
