Back 2 Base-ix Give Away! Free Resin Bases!

Posted by on

Hey, time for another Original Santa Cruz Warhammer Give Away! This time we are giving away 2 prizes, two sets of bases from the Australian Company Back 2 Base-ix.

Here is a picture of the two prizes
I darked the shadows a little to show better detail, after all they are made of white resin.
The 40mm bases in both sets are from the Ruins type, the 25 mm are different as mentioned on the picture.

Here are some painted examples of stuff we used. John says: a while back I painted Terminator Librarian, that I remounted on a Back 2 Base-ix 40mm Ruins base.

Mike used some of these bases in a couple older posts. Swamp base:
Urban Rubble

So, here's the deal:
1. become a follower
2. leave a comment (maybe say something the manufacturer can use for further development)

No anonynmous comments!

Remember, Back 2 Base-ix and the other creative and independent companies are giving us this for free, so next time you need some bases, support them and get something great for yourself.

Just to let you know, all the bases Mike used he bought incognito, the base John used was sent to us in the batch we are giving away, but there was an uneven number so we used one to make two even batches. It's important to us: we don't get paid for this and don't secretly keep stuff the companies send us. When we like products we ask them for a Give Away and that is all going to you!

Here is a link to a previous winners blog, where he reviews the bits that he won from our give away.

You could be the next Winner(s)! We will draw two winners in a few days!

John and Mike

    Personally, I love back to base-ix. The only constructive comment I could give them is to offer more variety for the 60mm city stuff. I'm currently waiting on some of the 60mm industrial and checkerplate bases for my exodites! :D

    and hey thanks for the link guys.

    Love their bases. Maybe some odds and ends of things to add to their bases to give them even more character (skulls, or small broken walls to add to very large bases).

    Really, not sure what you add to them because the bases are so great.

    I love the way the bases look painted,
    my comment would be the they should try to make bases fot the Space hulks terminators. that dont need to remove the SH base.

    They are very cool bases, even though I have not bought any of these items they are great. The bases look very good. The bases on their site also look great.

    I am looking @ these bases, and I am quite impressed, I have only used GW Bases before, I have always had to tinker with my own terrain, I have not used many resin pieces before and I love the detail in these.

    I would love to see some woodland not swamp ones :)

    I now "officially" follow this blog! I think both those base-sets would be perfect for the Nurgle army I'm building.

    Always enjoy your posts.

    Wow. Nice bases! I've been looking for something to spruce up my Canoness, and maybe Saint Celestine. Maybe those are what the doctor ordered!

    This is the first time I have been on this blog and I am very excited to see many competitions. I will definitely contribute in the future but currently I can only say keep up the good work and maybe make some bigger bases.

    I love back to base-ix. Lovely bases and one thing I really must commend them on is getting them out to customers. Especially when I consider where they're based in comparison to me!
    Would really love some for free! Hehe :D

    Was going to put that they should do some woodland theme bases but after a look through their page i see they already do. I personally like the wooden plank set and may order some of these for my eldar pirates that im building.
    As a suggestion why not make alien/beetle carapace bases with Gieger artwork as the theme. Then it would look like the troops were walking through an alien hive....

    Keep up the great work

  21. AoMSeptember 25, 2009 at 5:53 AM

    The swamp bases are a great idea, but with a 25mm base, there's a lot of "swamp" taking up the prime "model" real estate. Still wouldn't mind winning a set, though. ;-)

  22. UnknownSeptember 25, 2009 at 5:54 AM

    These are really great bases guys. I like the level of variety in these bases. I think the problem with resin bases is that you have a limited variety and I hate repeating the same base. But these look sufficiently different so that a simple change in the way the model is facing will make a difference in how it looks. Great job! I really like the ruins bases.

  23. Big DSeptember 25, 2009 at 6:06 AM

    Really interested in the ruins bases. I've been toying around with basing some models on marble bases and those look like they would fit the bill.

  24. KronSeptember 25, 2009 at 6:28 AM

    Basing is something I really should spend more time at, with these pieces I definitely would! The ruins in particular would look great with snow too... The swamps would be great for my Skaven..

    I like the bases. Will like more variety please, especially chaos-related. What about making bases related to Malifaux?

  26. AlanSeptember 25, 2009 at 7:05 AM

    I have seen these but couldnt remember who produced them. My son's Dark Eldar forces would look good on them.

    Thanks to both Back2Basix and Santa Cruz for running this give away.

    I haven't used pre-made bases before but would love the chance to try. Toss my name in the hat!

  28. GewaltatronSeptember 25, 2009 at 7:27 AM

    well nice bases. additionally to these nice resin bases I sometimes would like to have some base-bitz. so that the manufactures also produce some bitz in the base-theme to do some minor changes yourself.

  29. Dj BatmanSeptember 25, 2009 at 8:05 AM

    Hey guys, I really like the stuff you guys make but I would like to see more bases made to replace built up slate as slates pretty hard to come by. (for heroic Space Wolves in snow poses)

    Or waves crashing upon slate rocks for a Iron Snakes themed army.

    and maybe a few varied things like swamps and marshes (especially for fantasy to represent such things as the battle for hel fenn and such)

    also fantasy bases for middenheim with chunks of meteor or destroyed cobble stones and timber.

    Great base site. It would be neat to have twisted, organic bases (daemonic maws, etc.)

    I've been wanting to get some of their forest themed bases for my dryads. The base would almost be an extension of the mini.

  36. KuffehSeptember 25, 2009 at 1:08 PM

    I've never used the bases range, but looking at the minis I have seen on them and people use them I am pretty damn sure I could make good use of a set like that!

  37. Colin HagreenSeptember 25, 2009 at 1:39 PM

    Nice bases. Keeping them clean and generic is very important... I have a couple of packs from 'another manufacturer' that looked very nice in the packet, but left me with so little space to mount a figure that they were almost useless.

    There needs to be a complete range for each style - 25mm, 40mm, 60mm and also bike bases for rounds, 20mm, 25mm, 40mm and chariot bases for squares.

    I am intrigued by these bases-I've never used any other than standard GW and these look nice!

    I've bought a few things from Back2Base-ix before. They're a great company with fantastic service and fast delivery times.
    Their product range is good, I'd like to see them make updates a little more often- eg scenic bike bases, more industrial stuff, etc

  41. AlexSeptember 25, 2009 at 5:55 PM

    I love the look of the bases I wish they would do a urban battle field though. That would be pleasent.

    Maybe add a few more details to the bases though. Shrubs or cracks in the ground.

    Those bases are great. I really like the detail on the ruins. That is exactly what I am looking for to use on my Imperial Fists!

    These are great bases, though I wish the details didn't stand so far off the base. Still great concepts.

    these bases are SWEEET. Only advise I got is tie them in more with the 40k universe by adding some helmets, pipes, orky things and skulls

  47. UnknownSeptember 26, 2009 at 6:55 AM

    Really like the look of those nice clean lines on them, not like the rubbish rubble on the Cadian snipers kit that thing gives me a head ache just looking at it. It's good they arn't to high up some people stack tthe rubble up and up till its far to high they however are just right. Some little extras like shell casings or pipe work would be characterful.

  48. PeterSeptember 26, 2009 at 2:02 PM

    I've been looking at back 2 base-ix for use with my eldar (which there is still no sight of... freaking lack of money) do the bases still need the 'resin treatment' or are they already pre washed?

    I like these bases, they aren't too cluttered. The bases look great as usual.
