๐ Part of the Open Basing System (OBS)
Tired of being told what base sizes you have to use? So were we. The Open Basing System is our answer - a growing range of base sizes that gives you, the hobbyist, the freedom to base your models however you want.
Big corporations dictate base sizes to sell you their products. We think that's backwards. Your models, your army, your choice. OBS keeps expanding with sizes that hobbyists actually ask for - not what some company decides you need this edition.
๐ก 75mm squares - classic format for rank-and-flank monsters, chariots, and large war machines. Perfect for systems like The Old World, Kings of War, and historical wargaming where formations matter.
๐ฆ What You're Getting
75mm ร 75mm square bases - the traditional format for larger models in rank-and-flank games. Clean edges for tight formation ranks, plenty of surface area for scenic basing.
Why square? Squares rank up cleanly in regiments and movement trays. Essential for games where unit formation and frontage matter - The Old World, Warhammer Fantasy legacy armies, Kings of War, historical ancients, and more.
Pack sizes: Single (1), Small set (3), Standard (5), Project pack (10)
โ ๏ธ About FDM Printing & Layer Lines
What are seams? Every FDM print has a visible line where each layer starts and ends - this is called a "seam" or "Z-seam." It's a thin vertical line running from top to bottom of the base edge. This is not a defect - it's a natural characteristic of the printing process.
Layer lines: FDM printing builds objects layer by layer, so you may see subtle horizontal lines on the surface. These are completely normal and largely disappear once you apply primer and paint.
๐ก Tip: Most hobbyists find these details invisible after priming. If you're doing display-quality work and want glass-smooth surfaces, resin bases might suit you better - but for gaming armies, these work brilliantly.

๐จ Creative Uses for 75mm Squares
The classic large monster/chariot footprint for rank-and-flank gaming:
๐ฌ Square bases are making a comeback with The Old World. If you're building or rebasing a classic fantasy army, these are what you need.
๐ ๏ธ Quick Prep Tips
- Wash before priming - A quick soap & water rinse removes any residue and helps primer stick better.
- Use a good primer - Spray primers like Vallejo, Army Painter, or Citadel work great. One light coat is usually enough.
- Sand if needed - For ultra-smooth finish, 400-600 grit sandpaper before priming. Usually not necessary for tabletop standard.
- Basing materials - Texture paste, sand, static grass, tufts all adhere well. PVA and super glue both work.
๐ Which Pack Size?
| Pack | Best For | ๐ฐ |

| 1 pc | Single monster, chariot, display piece | Try first |
| 3 pcs | Chariot squadron, monster trio | Good starter |
| 5 pcs | Army monsters, war machine battery | Most popular |
| 10 pcs | Full army rebasing, club supply | Best value |
โ Common Questions
Q: Will these fit standard movement trays?
A: They'll fit any movement tray designed for 75mm square bases. Check your tray dimensions - if it's built for 75mm monsters/chariots, these will slot right in.
Q: Are these compatible with The Old World?
A: Yes! 75mm squares are used in The Old World for various monsters, chariots, and war machines. Check your army's basing guidelines to confirm which units use this size.
Q: Do I need to prime them?
A: Highly recommended. Primer gives paint something to grip. Acrylic paint on unprimed PETG can scratch off more easily.
Q: Can I drill pin holes for heavy models?
A: Yes, PETG drills cleanly. Use a pin vice and go slowly - essential for heavier metal or resin monsters on larger bases.
Q: Do you make other square sizes?
A: Yes! Check our shop for the full OBS range - we have squares from 20mm infantry up to large monster bases, plus rectangles for cavalry.
