Baseplates for BrikWars

[Filefolders]

Although I still have yet to have an actual battle, the battlefields I have made were with bricks and plates, not actual base plates. I have a field of trenches as well as my LEGO city. Since that would seem to fall under the same category as base plates (it's a LEGO-made battlefield). Brick-built terrain beats base plates any day.

Edit: As far as customs, go: Ew. No. Cutting LEGO parts is like cutting... babies... MegaBloks, Best-Lock, Brick Arms, and the like are all in the same category of evil.

Of course they do. It is also even more expensive to build a terrain out of plates than baseplates.

I think terrains made out of bricks with the bricks on top of the baseplates is more awesome and more expensive.

[pesgores]

Yeah. So, as incredible as it may seem, baseplates are the cheapest option.

[birdman]

hmm... needs more baseplates.

[Rody]

Yeah. So, as incredible as it may seem, baseplates are the cheapest option.

not using baseplates at all is cheaper still.

Well, the poll tells me almost everyone has baseplates, or wants them. I think the poll was rather pointless in the first place anyway though...

burn the poll!
yea that sums it up.

selling your lego and using rocks instead of lego is the cheapest option.

I've only had one battle, but I think they are a nessescity and plan to have all my battles on them.

I'm starting to get used to this necroing. But I still hate it.

On topic, unfortunately I only have 2 large grey baseplates, one green Tjunction road baseplate, a 16x32 sand baseplate, a 16x32 white baseplate.

Thread necroing doesn't bother me in the slightest. If a topic's worth talking about then it's still worth talking about three months later. But people who keep fucking up the threads with all the complaining about necroing are PISSING ME OFF. Jesus Christ, shut up already.

• 6. I realize you don't like necros
  7. I don't care
  8. You can stop posting about it dozens of times a day

If you don't think a thread is worth continuing, then DON'T POST IN IT for christ's sake. Just let it go back to being dead. This isn't rocket science.

I bought some new baseplates when I made a trip to the Lego Store in Natick, Massachusetts. I now have:

Two 48x48 grey
One 48x32 raised tan
Five 32x32 green
One 32x32 blue
One 32x32 straight road
One 32x32 intersection road
One 32x16 green
One 24x16 blue
One 16x16 green
One 16x16 grey
One 16x16 tan

That's just over a square yard or a square meter.

i have:
1 32x48 dark gray raised
1 48x48 light grey
3 32x32 green
1 32x32 old light grey
1 32x32 old light gray crator
4 32x32 green road plates
1 32x32 dark gray road piece from one of the pit stops.

i still need MOAR though.

i have began to agree that baseplates are better but if you don't have them then just use a table, DON'T USE CARPET, IT'S TO DISTRACTING.

Carpet also makes your minifigs fall down, unless they have fancy stand things.
