slottabases

[Virtual Falcon]

i recently bought a set of stealers from GW, and I've just noticed that the bases(slottabases) just have an imprint of a slot on. Do you need to cut the slots out or is it a fault?

I have often assumed its a missmold - unless GW have changed things.
I find CAREFULLY pushing into the gap with a pointed file to break the plastic and then filing out the innerds works well enough. I also works on the flying bases where you have several holes on the underside of the base for various different positions for the peg on the model (I think the tyrant comes like this)

I think it is a mismold, due to the fact there is no support bar type things underneath.

you mean completly flat?
must be a product mistake - they put the wrong bases in the box then

You know that GW makes bases without slots. All their 25mm bases have a spot that looks like there should be a slot there.

If the base is flush at the top and bottom then it is just a non slotted base.

It seems like you got a miss pack. You could call GW and try and get them to give you the right bases. Or you could just cut the bar off the bottom of your stealers and glue their feet to the base.

yoritomo-what do you mean by a flush?
I do know that they make non slotted bases, just I didn't know that the bar imprint would still be there. I'll try to return them, and if that doesn't work I'll probably stick the leg on no bar.
Can you buy packs of bases with slottabases in?I don't think, via preious attempts, that one legged stealers stick well.

Flush, even, level, straight. Is there a noticeable amount of plastic missing from the base?

I think it's just the wrong bases. they look like my brother's eldar bases, just I've never noticed the line before.
