Does anyone know where you can buy these?

NB: GW does NOT sell loose bases of this size.

If you're after it for your un-ridden White Warg I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying a while back that if you ring GW and ask them they'll send you one out as they understand the situation. I need to do the same for mine actually.

Have you tried eBay? I was given one by a player at GW. Pretty sure he got them of eBay.

Just wanted to follow this up, did you get sorted Gothmog?

Just for info, I've finally got around to painting my unridden White Warg (Wild Warg Cheiftain) and rang GW customer services up and explained the problem. They immediately posted me out a 50mm base for free, couldn't ask for more really.

Their wider business decisions continue to baffle me but there's no doubt that when it comes to customer service they really are hard to fault :yay:

Thanks for asking (and for the advice in the first place), I do have a 50mm base and a finished White Warg.

Well, 1st I went to my local GW store and he suggested I phone, so I phoned GW customer service, and was told to go to my local store and see if I can buy one from there (even though they don't sell them), so I went to my local GW again, and he phoned customer services, and they were extremely puzzled, so he emailed someone on the GW customer service team and she sent a 50mm base in the post to my local store, which I collected 2 weeks later. At least its here now, and everyone involved was friendly and nice.

And I agree, I think GW are seriously confused about how they handle their business.

I had no such luck.

My email:

Hello Games Workshop,

My query is about 50mm round bases. Are you planning on adding them to the webstore any time soon? I am a LotR/Hobbit player/collector and have Azog on Warg which comes on a 50mm round base. The problem arises when Azog is thrown, and I need a model to represent the riderless Warg. At the moment I just use a regular Fell Warg painted white, but of course these are supplied with a 40mm base. If you sold 50mm bases separately I could get one for the warg?

Their response:

Hi Dave
Thank you for your email.

Regarding the bases, unfortunately they are not something we do separately at the moment however we are constantly reviewing our range. New products are added and sometimes products are removed. Everything that is currently in our range is available to purchase from http://www.games-workshop.com. If a product can't be found on our webstore, it isn't currently part of our range.


Yeah, so not that helpful really.

How long ago was that? Give 'em a ring, maybe they've changed their policy or something, I rang up last week and they sent one out immediately.

@ukfreddybear, don't email, phone, you can try to explain and counterpoint more easily, though it may still not work.
