Don't you hate it when you base your army for one season and end up wanting to battle in another? The Austrian winter you had planned for at the next con turned into a German spring? Ever base for sci-fi and somehow end up playing fantasy with the same figure? It happens more often than not.

A simple solution is to use transparent bases.

One big advantage to using transparent bases is you don't have to flock them. You're relying on the great terrain your GM has so thoughtfully supplied to accent your figure. One note when using clear bases is to avoid the dreaded "haze" when adhering your figure. Use thick CA glue to avoid this problem.
