I was going through my old collection of fantasy miniatures that I use for WFRP, and they're a bit of a motley lot - some old Mordheim, figures, some very old generic fantasy figures from who knows where - and I decided it was time to rebase them all for WFRP. Most of them are on small generic Games Worskhop square bases, but I've decided to put them all on round bases, as they're never going to see action in a tabletop Warhammer game.

At the moment I'm putting them all on Warhammer 40K-sized round bases. Larger round bases (Warmachine-sized) seem to be popular lately, but they seem a bit big to me for 28mm figures. It struck me that square bases are pretty much disappearing, except for tabletop Warhammer.

Rambling a bit I know! but what do the rest of you do - have you rebased your fantasy figures for use with roleplaying games on a standard base size? If so, which one?

I still play Warhammer/Warmachine so everything's based for those games.

That said, for models I don't already have I'm going with wooden 1" square (or 1.5" square, haven't decided) chits with printed out color images on them. One side will probably have a red band around it for reckless, with the other having a green band for conservative. Cheaper for the wallet, easier to find 'nicely painted' figs in all my RPG materials. Not to mention Warhammer art, WAR MMO art, WarCry CCG, Invasion CCG, etc.

My players demand miniatures! I can see I'm going to end up with a bigger and bigger box of useless 'stand-ups' as I keep buying WFRP supplements...

You know, on a related point, I don't quite see the need for those stance rings at all. Since the stance is set for NPCs and monsters, why do the players need to know what it is? And even if you do tell them for some reason, why represent it on the table, since it doesn't change?

Actually WFRP doesn't really need a huge amount of miniatures, since there's usually a pretty limited range of beasties that the players go up against, and you can get by with a small selection of generic NPS minis. I've been using the same small bunch of beastmen and orc minis for years, for example.

...for now.

Well, for the PCs it'll be nice if one wants to run something that isn't tied into a standup figure but they found a cool picture online.

Head, thank you for all your hard work on creating those rules reference sheets for boardgames. I can't tell you how many times they've come in handy!!

Thanks, glad to hear it!
