Bandua Take The Hassle Out Of Basing With New Pre-Painted Designs
September 8, 2017 by brennon
If basing really isn't your thing, but you like the idea of having a cohesive force on the tabletop, take a look at this new collection from Bandua which contains Pre-Coloured Bases ready to simply stick your troops onto.
The base selection ranges from 25mm all the way up to 60mm and more alternative basing styles for monsters, vehicles, cavalry and more. While they have been talked about as Pre-Painted on their website it appears more like this is a technique where the designs have been stuck to the bases instead.
We'll show off more of the designs on the infantry sets for now so you can get a feel for the different environments they cover already.
A lot of the focus has gone towards creating bases which have an industrial feel to them and this works nicely with some of the other buildings that Bandua has in its collection. However, you will also find more natural textures thrown into the mix from alien planets and beyond.
For example, above you have the surface of a Martian planet and then below we also have the snowy textures of an ice world.
These designs are then carried over into the alternative bases sizes as mentioned previously including these which would be good for bikes...
...and then these larger bases which work for your monsters, flyers and potentially tanks too if you'd prefer to base them as well.
This seems like it would be a good idea for someone new getting into the hobby as, while at a slightly increased cost, you could base an entire army with a similar theme quite quickly.
What do you think of the idea?

These are cool for the board games coming out soon! I might grab a bunch for my Siege of the Citadel when it finally arrives
Hallelujah! Time to rebase my Infinity models…
Great for board games with minis (other than the pain of pinning the figs onto the base). But these flat “sticker” pre-paint bases look so much better on a game board (rather than a traditional sculpted base).
Yep, for boardgame minis this could do it indeed, will check ’em out when they release
Wish they had more “metallic” ones something like the diamond plates without all that rust (not super clean but that’s too much)
That’s an interesting point about the rust.
I’ve seen industrial red epoxy paint used in the shipyard that’s (ironically) used for rustproofing. Over time when it gets dirty and grungy it looked a lot like the images on the bases. So I didn’t even register it as rust.
Snow bases are perfect for Frostgrave.
Plus putting these into larger lipped bases will also look good
