- Always Board Never Boring has a bunch of Renedra flat 25mm miniatures bases. They're really useful for making counters and objective markers (as well as basing miniatures, obviously). What would you use them for?

The large square bases or movement tray style bases can be used as the base for the Renedra Graveyard scenery sprues, stick two on one side of the square base or more on the tray style bases, paint some fine grade texture paint on & flock the model after paint and do several of them, instant graveyard for battles, and since they have a small footprint, easy to store and being made from several such bases, very customizable when laying them out on the tabletop.
That's a near idea. Thanks for sharing.
I need a bunch of bases to rebase wrath of kings stuff. They have bases designed for base inserts. So maybe this is what I need to get. I wouldn't know these exist without your video so thanks!
Awesome. Glad you found it useful. Not sure what base size Wrath of Kings uses but you should be able to find a matching size with these.
I use them with my GreenStuff texture rolling pins, so when I put the greenstuff base on top it gives them height and end up similar to the GW bases height.
Is that the rollers from Green Stuff World? Those look really cool but I'm not sure I'd get enough use out of them to justify the price.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Yep! I got a pack of 6 of them for cheap (I mean, kind of cheap), and I used them to base my entire Kill Team Rogue Trader box, just with 2 of the rollers, some of the textures are very nice, like the wooden floor boards, and I've used them to add details to tons of terrain, not just bases, the most expensive thing is the actual Green Stuff, haha.
Nice. I've seen them used to make walls with extruded foam, and that looks pretty good.
i bought some MDF bases the same shape, with the intention of cutting out triangle shapes or 60/120 degree angles and layering up 2 or 3 to make some nice themed BSF bases. Not got far yet though. These look great!
That's a really neat idea. There are lots of neat little things you can do to bases to give them that weird, irregular, alien vibe.
Those bases are good. If you want to use your minis in say Oathmark and another skirmish game, there even is a regiment movement tray for these available
I've never played Oathmark. As I understand it, it's the same designer as Frostgrave and Rangers of Shadow Deep, right? That's a pretty impressive pedigree.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring yep, i love the old school style of the northstar plastic range
I don't personally own any, but they always look great in the photographs and videos I've seen. I was going to pick up some gnolls for Rangers, but I've decided to sub in orcs to keep my costs down.
I use them with the Frostgrave mini's. When I play Frostgrave my Warbands bases are a mess of different shapes and sizes. I have WH skeletons on square bases, the Frostgrave mini's on those flat round ones, my wizard and apprentice are from Zombicide, and my knights are Stormcast eternals. Since I use those mini's in other games, I'm not rebasing anything.
That sounds a bit like my D&D sessions, where I'm just chucking whatever fits on the table, regardless of where it's from.
These come with about 3/4s of the plastic minis made. Good bases and I have loads and loads of them for my historic stuff. Made in the UK too.
They just don't seem to come with any of the miniatures I buy (I guess, because I don't buy historic stuff, and most of the UK stuff I buy is metal). I expected them to come with Warlords Dr Who miniatures, but they have their own bases. Fortunately, they're really cheap.
Tons of the historic plastics and the Frostgrave plastics are actually made by Renedra too. I'm not sure why Warlord decided they needed to do Bolt Action, Antares, etc with the skinny lipped bases. They feel really weak until you fill them with sand or texture. They do let the figures feet sit down into the basing medium in a nice way though.
The Renedra are available in several colors too, which would help with tokens. I have grey, brown, dark green, and grass green ones. Some of the larger sizes are great for small scenic pieces too.
Frostgrave was how I first heard about Renedra. I've only got the grey bases, and I knew there were green ones, but I didn't realise there were different shades of green and brown. That's pretty useful. Thanks.
They make several building kits, fencing kits, etc too. The bases are grey, tan, green, and brown now apparently. They also do cobblestone, wood planks, stone street, etc - waaay cheaper than others do.

I have some paved effect ones that are really nice

I really want to try some of their ranked bases with round inserts at some point.
They have some plastic ruins and medieval cottages that are really great.
Oh I love flat bases. The ones that came with my Bolt Action us marines had a lip on them though which I wanted to use to make a sort of water effect. Never got around to it.
They're really useful. I think at any one time I must have 50 projects that I want to do but never actually get around to.
The lipped bases work great with base texture like GW or the Vallejo stuff. It looks much better than it does on a flat base.
My favourite bases for actually basing miniatures are the lipped ones with the curved edges. They used to come with Anima Tactics, and they also come with the Oathsworn Burrows and Badgers metal miniatures. It's really nice to be able to drop a little custom insert inside them, or as you say, use some texture paint with an edge to work up to.
@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring I think I know the type of base your talking about, I use generic ones for flat metal based figures and then add texture paint in the gaps between the lip and the base to disguise the fact the model had an integrated base.
I do the same for plastic Reaper Bones & Wizkid miniatures as well.
I'm slowly doing all my RPG stuff on 30mm ones over time, as that seems to be the best size for the flat bases many companies tend to use if they don't go the Slotta base route.
@@darrenrichardson6146 Yeah that works really nicely.
Are these the same as the Victrix based they sale on their website? Great video
I just checked the Victrix site, and while they aren't the same brand they look very similar. They are both 25mm, low profile, with that slightly textured bumpy surface on the top. I can't say for certain from the images, but it does look like they are incredibly similar, if not the same.
please talk about green square bases
Just be aware that bases with a hollow bottom are more stable on uneven terrain, especially with a miniature attached.
Very good point. I find it's less of a concern when basing stuff like plastic Reaper miniatures, or when working with stuff for D&D where clambering over terrain elements isn't quite so common. Thanks for watching.
i hate these bases. Flat, no concave bottoms means you can't magnetize them very well. They just suck. Not sure why they decided to use these for all frostgave kits.
It really depends on what you want the bases for - every tool has its uses. I find these bases are good for making things like tokens, or for basing stuff like the cheap Reaper miniatures for D&D. You can put them on top of other bases to create extra height, or to add some kind of detailing. I recently stuck a couple of AvP sentry guns on them because all the AvP resin miniatures have thin, scenic bases and sticking the guns on thick bases would have made them look odd next to everything else. My favourite type of bases are the ones with the curved edges and the lip.
As I understand it, Renedra make (at least some of) the Frostgrave miniatures, so that's why you get the Renedra round bases in those kits.
