Thanks, David!

I'd like to see them, yes!

I did a quick check of DS2 and found that it lists figures need to be
based, but do not specify the size of the bases. That might be the way
for Jon to go, just not really push any base size scheme, but perhaps
list several suggested sizes (FOW being one of them).

I haven't purchased any (yet!) but Litkco Aerosystems is highly
regarded on The Miniatures Page for their bases. They sell laser cut
wooden bases, metal bases, and magnetic bases. Their stuff is
reasonably priced. They make pretty much any size you can think of.
