i was looking at the GW site and saw they have a new basing kit interested in peoples opinions

Mine: apart from the leaves and resin base deatails a complete waste of money and certainly not worth £12
 
Actually I just bought a kit and I have to say that I'm positively surprised. In comparison to the 40K basing kit this a really good buy. The pieces of slate are much bigger and can actually be used to something. The resin pieces also look great and they are definitely much better casts than what you get in the other box. It depends on wther you want to buy it or not, but it is going to last for some time, so I'd say it's worth the money.

And here's a link, DoN.
 
you got one???

well as you say it looks good i will take that under advisemnet

i just expected a bunch of resin campfires...
 
Just to describe the contents of the kit:

You get two each of the following 22 parts:

1 - A half buried Chaos star. Three of the spikes and the center skull is showing.
2 - A skull laying on some pretty rough ground (muddy perhaps?).
3 - A half buried horse skull. Same style as the current skeletal steed.
4 - Same as #2.
5 - A broken shield without any sculpted details.
6 - A broken empire griffon statuette with a sword (impossible to see from the picture, especially as it's upside down...).
7 - A small crater with cracks. It looks really good.
8 - A bone and a skull with a spider coming out of it.
9 - Another broken shield. Same style as the round ones from the skeleton kit.
10 - A skull with an arrow going through it.
11 - Pavement. Really good looking.
12 - A flat rock with a bunch of skulls laying around. Should look good for characters or champions.
13 - A buried chaos shield. The same as you get in the chaos knight set.
14 - Sheathed dagger, skull and rock.
15 - A pile of bones including a whole skeleton. One of the best in the box I think.
16 - A wheel from some kind of cart or chariot.
17 - Broken pavement with dirt in the cracks.
18 - Skull and broken arrow.
19 - Cracked ground/pavement with skull.
20 - Pile of skulls.
21 - Smaller pile of skulls (including a large beast skull).
22 - Sheathed sword on the ground.

Of these there are only three that I think could need improvement. Other than that it all looks great and unless I decide I'll save them for "worthy" model I'll definitely use them a lot.
 
It looks okay to me. But of course there are cooler bases around.
Who needs that much leaves tho? (apart from woodies of course)

Everyone really. Remember unlike our world, the warhammer world is still full of forests etc, so everywhere could feasibly have leaves.
 
Im getting one on monday simply from what i have seen in these pics it has changed my opinion the power of a well worded piece of text...
