Subject: Dumb Questions
I've got a couple of dumb questions for ya: What size stands do most of you base your DS2 infantry on? Do you base your DS2 vehicles? If so, on what size stands? Those of you using Micro Minis for FT, do you use the provided stands, use GZG ones, or?? Thanks,

> I've got a couple of dumb questions for ya: I use GW minis as I have a PILE of them. I use the Eldar Guardian infantry for regular troops, Space Marine troops for Powered Armour and Squat heavy troops for GMS/L troopers all on the old Epic bases (20mm x 20mm squares). I think they all look O.K. > Do you base your DS2 vehicles? If so, on what size stands? Depends on how big they are. But on the whole, I don't as I think most tanks look silly when based up. > Those of you using Micro Minis for FT, do you use the provided stands, I use the supplied ones as they look O.K. unless the mini keeps falling over when I switch to other types of flying stands. I especially like the Silent Death ones as they are black with silver flecks! Perfect!

> I've got a couple of dumb questions for ya: Well...my limited supply of infantry at this point is a batch of Epic marines my bro gave me...so I use the supplied bases. They work okay by me. > Do you base your DS2 vehicles? If so, on what size stands? Nope. Well, okay, some of my VTOL/Aerospace vehicles, yeah, but not the armor or other ground units. > Those of you using Micro Minis for FT, do you use the provided stands, MicroMachines? I use the supplied stand, or no stand at all (depending). Mk

If so, on what size stands? Only VTOL/fighters so far. I've thought about basing my grav tanks, making them "hover" 2-3 mm above the ground, but I haven't done it yet. > Those of you using Micro Minis for FT, do you use the provided stands, If you mean MicroMachines, I use GZG/Silent Death/old GW flying stands - ie, those with hexagonal bases for these. Since I usually use my Leviathan/Silent Death/Starfire/other star-spangled hexmaps for playing surface, using a hex-shaped base makes alignment with the 12 facings much easier. Regards,

I use the old GW epic-scale infantry, with 5 guys mounted on a 20mm square plastic base in an "X". I've mounted my grav and GEV vehicles on "flying" 20mm square bases -- I use a piece of wire stuck into a slotted base to hold the vehicle figure up, and make it look like it's floating.
