Tabletop-Art have released a Starter Set compilation of their Ancestral Ruins Bases. Enough bases and scenic adornment for almost an entire force.
Does it have the problem of being too cluttered stopping easy modelling onto the bases? It's certainly something we see from many scenic bases nowadays. You can also buy the different sizes separately if you so wish.
What do you make of them?

Good for a Menoth army – the marble look means that the ruins could easily be said to be a temple of some sort. However while the slabs don’t look cluttered (they’re flattish stone blocks mostly) they could be at an angle to the horizontal of the actual base, so it may still be a problem to mount figures on them without them looking like they’re lurching drunkenly on the base.
Not that Menites drink much I bet… 😉
I could see Scyrah on them.
Ohoho – actually if you paint the stone grey with the carvings in a green glow…
Menoth, Retribution, Circle…seems like this set is more versatile than I first thought.
