Lovin' that army VB! Loads of colour.

That's a thought Tim but I hate the idea of laboriously cutting off the metal tabs and trying to epoxy them to MDF and I'd worry how many might not stand up properly

It’s a complete ballache to be fair, and one best done when they’re unpainted.

I used a mixture of superglue gel and contact adhesive. It’s brilliant, even on Beastmen with smaller points of contact for their hooves and prone to falling over.

Yes that would be a ballache indeed. But being a lazy bugger I never used to go to those lengths. I just whipped up some Milliput and applied it to the bases and stuck those horrible metal strips into that. Worked like a charm every time, and kept the figures at a sensible level as opposed to those bloody plastic plinths. Just a thought, seeing as Jeremy's looked so much better by not being based on them.

Theo has come up with a good compromise and that looks to be using Warbases MDF Slottabases which hopefully being 3mm will reduce the ballache but also the towering height!

Well, yes, the last thing you want with a dwarf is towering height - rather defeats the object!
