Cool. It would be cool if they work out.

Here's his response:
"Looks like just about 23mm on the top of the base. What does the top of the Impact base measure?"


With the slight bevel on the side, I'm guessing it's 28mm or 29mm on top. I'm at work. Can anyone online measure an Impact base and post the top dimension? If not, I'll measure when I get home tonight.

I measured the one base I have left and it was right around 28mm.

Yeah, I just got home and measured one, and you are correct, they are 28mm on top. The stickers from Impact are 1", or 25.4mm, which leaves just over 1mm of "border" around the sticker. The Mats by Mars stickers would leave about twice that much. Not terrible, but not ideal. I'm passing this info along to them. Who knows, maybe they would be able to make some stickers that would work better.

Just got a response from Alex:

"What does your timeline look like? We're going to be at adepticon next week and can actually get some impact stuff to make some perfectly sized ones. They wouldn't be ready for 2 weeks or so from now; as we get back that monday."

Sounds promising!

That's cool to hear @mac122 . For anyone here that would want to rebase their units, these stickers give some cool options. I would have liked these back when I was rebasing Heroclix figures for Superheroscape, though I don't need them now because I use texture basing for stuff I do.

I just threw it out here because I remembered that some people liked to rebase Clix figures or other figures and figured these might be an option.

I had seen the ad for Mats by Mars on facebook because they are going to be at Adepticon and I had "liked" that page. A buddy and I are going to Adepticon on Saturday, the 25th. It will be the first time either of us has been there. We aren't entered in any games, but wanted to check it out since we are into miniatures. While I've gotten big into painting miniatures over the past 9 months, from 28mm Mercs Recon, and recently to repainting some DnD Scape stuff for Frostgrave (as well as ordering a Frostgrave Soldiers kit of 20 soldiers with parts to make many varieties), to 1/100th (slightly larger than 15mm) stuff for Halo Ground Command. My buddy also has done Halo Ground Command figures and Frostgrave figures, but also Guildball and Infinity as well, and he is an amazing painter. So we just want to go and see a bunch of cool minis and get inspired by some great paint jobs and also observe some games going on.

Hey everyone, my nephew loves TMNT and I psyched that C3G has cards for them! Me being me though, I kinda want a rounded out "Master Set" if you will. (Partly cause I want to have more than four cards from that universe so there can be cool themed battles, but also because this may or may not end up being a gift for him) The problem is, I have no idea who else the turtles fight besides Shedder, Bebop, Rocksteady, and a buncha ninjas lol Who else would you guys recommend I make cards for? I'd ideally like to get to like 10 cards a side, but I've got no idea where to start

The obvious answer is to read/watch what your nephews do. Each version of TMNT has different adversaries.

I'd check out the threads started by @mcmeeple . He's got a listed creators of Ninja turtles thread and one of his own that look pretty good.

Sorry @quozl , I thought I had replied to you lol I've taken your words to heart and started watching Nickelodeon's TMNT and haunting their wikia, to great affect. Thanks for pointing out the best place to start! @TREX I will certainly do that... Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, could I have some help with something? I've been trying to pick up some figures for the Killer Bees, on and off, for several years now, and it's kind of become a high priority fairly recently on account of the Ant-Man figure I'm designing. The only problem is, I live in Britain, and, while I've been able to find some from Amazon, when I tried to put those in my basket, it may have said Free Shipping, but it lied - it was a few weeks ago now, so I can't remember exactly, but I think it was something like £20, which seems just a little ridiculous. If anyone has any idea how I can get some Killer Bees that won't cost an arm and a leg to get to Britain, or, failing that, decent proxies, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks.
