Making the bases is easy. I bought one sheet of plasticard form MicroMark.com and just cut the right dimensions from it. the height is just a hair smaller than the ones from HQ but its hardly noticeable.
heres the link... just order one sheet. I have based dozens with mine, and I have not even used half of it. Plasticard is good for other scenery or tile projects too.

Thank you very much! I actually haven't started on my own set yet. All those pictrures there, are from miniatures I painted for others. It seems I won't start my own set till after the summer.
I've seen your bases and they are great. I really like the marks you've done and the small stones. They decorate the base pretty subtle and it's not overwhelming. I personally like the flat single colour painted bases but yours are awesome. When it comes to rebasing all of the extra figures, I will probably use bases out of milliput, created using instant mold of a heroquest base. I've tried it a couple of times and it works great. Might be a problem for a large number of figures but I'm not in a hurry right now!
