So I just got the big old box of GW ruins. The one with the Bassilica Administratum, the manufactorum, and a couple of others. I noticed it does not come with any bases for anything.

Does anyone know of where I can look to find good plastic bases for these buildings or should I just make it out of wood or something?

My local GW used MDF board as the bases. It is nice and solid and not too heavy either. I'm not 100% what the pricing is for a section of the board, but I imagine it is not overly expensive at all.

Plus it makes the building like it is sitting one a nice raised area, and you can do some cool effects for the floors as well.

Otherwise i'd go with MDF, or commandersasha's suggestion, which sounds cool
