Another Kickstarter on the List - Basius 2

I try not to get involved into to many Kickstarters, but good ones keep popping up. This one really has peaked my interest, mostly because of all the bases I need for my WWI Marines and the Amazons that will becoming from Crocodile Games sometimes soon. Now this is their second kickstarter for this product and I passed the first time, the shipping put it out of reach last time and I have regretted having to pass on it. This version is considerably improved so its high on my list of ones I want to jump in on.

 Essentially these allow you to apply green stuff or milliput or a similar substance to a base and then press it into the "plate" and instantly create base texture. The "plates" are big so you could get a lot of original bases for a unit that are still similar enough to keep the unit looking like a unit.

 I haven't committed yet but I think this one is worth looking at: Basius 2

This plate is double sided and measures 7"x7" with 6"x6" of usable surface area.

      You're right about that! A lot of companies doing their 2nd & 3rd Kickstarters and really understanding what they can do.

      Nice work! Is she painting again or would these be for your armies?

    She's occasionally painting again. Just when she's got a new roleplaying character she wants a miniature for. I wish she would paint more. Quilting has taken most of her time for the last year or so. With the benefit of having some sweet quilts around the house now. :)

    I've been down and out for a nearly a week now, with a broken and abscessed tooth. Some serious suckage. I've been holding off my own painting to get some of these tiles. Can't wait for them !

      Quilting takes up a bunch of time that's for sure. My mom certainly cranks them out.
      Abscessed and broken, that has to be some serious pain! I figured out that I would more than break even just using them to finish off my Marines.
