I have pre ordered the Infinity starter box Operation Icestorm and I was looking around for ideas for the bases, I found Custom Meeple and they make the "basing material" that is used in the photos for the starter set.
They look good so I ordered the Infinity Operation Icestorm Bases by Giraldez, which includes
14 pieces , seven for each faction and I also ordered more Nomad bases, five regular bases and a 55mm base, with both of these products you can choose between plasticard (0,8mm) and high density cardboard (0,32mm), I went with the plasticard version.
The plasticard has a bit of rough edges but after you smooth them out it will fit the base nicley, the small bits in holes on the nomad bases are removed easly, just poke them out. I smoothed the edges with the backside of my hobby knife and it didn't take long at all to get a smooth result, just take it easy and don't use the edge of your knife, you might ruin the shape.
When it comes to glueing the plasticard to the bases you could use PVA glue, but watered down so it wont go in to the holes (regarding the Nomad bases) and cover them up, personally I used plastic glue and it worked fine.
My opinion of this product is that its great, the thickness of them is the best thing with them. The quality of them are really nice, it isn't the most advanced or most decorated bases you can get but the will make your bases look good and fits nicely in with the sleek futuristic style of Infinity.
I have used resin bases for my Eldar, I have used Imperialis Sector basing for my Dark Eldar and both these types of bases I have used has its problem. The full resin bases looks great but have some problems with placing a model on them, the Imperialis Sector basing set have the problem with them that they don't fit the bases that good, they are a bit smaller then base top so you will get a small area that the basing wont cower. That might not be a big issue but it annoys me.
These two issues have described above I didn't have them with the Infinity bases (or rather basing material), so that's a plus. My verdict of this product is that I'm really pleased with it and I will use them on all future Infinity miniatures.
