Well after deciding which way to go with basing SW I have settled on Cork Board from Greenfield News and Hobby. At 4 bucks a strip ( 4" x 36") here is what I ended up with. The painted one is my base for Logan Grimnar, it has clear scenic water in the middle with rocks and sand at the bottom that you can see down into, really cool. The rest of the bases are a layer or two of cork board and GW modeling sand. I have a ton made but just wanted to show an example.
Sorry the pic quality isn't the greatest but I am happy with the results. A undercoat of black and then drybrush using ceramacoat paints (1.40 at michaels) first using Charcoal Grey then Quaker Grey. Scenic water I bought from a site online that sells scenic supplies for modeling. You can't really get the full effect of the water from that picture but you'll see it in person soon enough

Biggs,
Nice Work.
Rob,
Bark chips work good for bases, they can look like slate if broken into chunks.
I did some pieces to fill in a display board that matched my resin deathwing bases for Games Day one year.
Cheap and easy to do.

Very nice, although I wonder how the effect of playing will beat up the cork and chip off the paint job. But that happens to every base job. Nice work!

I thought about that. If anything I will just have to handle these with care.
