What the table shows

  • Where you buy matters as much as who makes it. The same Gamers Grass Forest Mushrooms pack was A$22.64 direct from the maker, A$30.35 at Gap Games and A$39.00 at Warhaus on the same day. The direct price is before international shipping, which Gamers Grass only shows at checkout.
  • Imported single packs are the cheapest item prices. Epic Basing's packs were A$9.13 for 22 or 25 pieces on its Australian storefront, and Green Stuff World's Piles of Skulls was A$7.71 direct. Both ship from overseas, so add postage before you compare.
  • Per piece, we're not the cheapest for every theme. For skulls, the AK Interactive pack of 72 (A$0.21 a piece, sold out at Gap Games that day) and Green Stuff World direct (A$0.26) work out lower than our A$0.63. For rocks, our Rock Clump (A$0.56) and Small Rock (A$0.43) packs work out lower per piece than AK Interactive's Rocks & Tors (A$1.42–1.66). Pieces differ a lot in size, so per piece is a rough guide, not a verdict.
  • Some makers don't say how many pieces you get. Gamers Grass describes its Rocks pack as an assorted mix; of the Gamers Grass pages we read, only Forest Mushrooms gives a count ("more than 100 mushrooms").
  • Material isn't always the same. Gamers Grass says its Rocks pack is thermoplastic, and its Forest Mushrooms, Skulls & Bones and Chaos Shards pages say hard resin; AK Interactive and Epic Basing say resin. Ours are grey resin. For what that means on the table, see resin vs plastic miniatures.

What does shipping to Australia cost?

Postage can change the answer, especially on one small pack. These are the rates each seller publishes, read on 8 November 2026. Where a seller only shows the rate at checkout, we say so rather than guess.

So a single pack from an Australian shop lands at roughly its price plus A$10–12. For the overseas sellers we can't give a delivered price without placing an order, so check the checkout total before you decide.

Why the per-piece price varies so much: a Broken Tile piece can be a whole slab of floor, while a Small Rock piece is a 4 to 11 mm chip. A pack with fewer, bigger pieces often covers as many bases as one with lots of small ones.

How to compare basing bits prices fairly

  • Count bases, not pieces. Work out how many bases you need to cover and how many pieces go on each. A small base usually takes only a few pieces, while a big one has room for a centrepiece and some small bits. Our guide to how to base miniatures walks through it.
  • Add postage to one pack. A pack at A$9 from overseas and one at A$22 from Perth can end up close once shipping is on, or far apart if you're ordering enough to reach a free-shipping threshold.
  • Check the stock. Several Australian shop listings we read were sold out. A price you can't buy at isn't a price.
  • Look at the pictures for size. A piece count tells you nothing about how big each piece is. Check the sizes or a picture next to a base.
  • Budget for the rest. Bits are one part of a base. Glue, sand, paint and tufts are in our basing starter kit for Australia.

How we did this

  • Date. Every price and shipping rate was read on the seller's live page on 8 November 2026. Prices change, sales end and stock comes and goes, so check the seller's page before you buy.
  • Sources. Each row links to the exact page we read. We started from our own price research of October 2026 and re-checked every row. Some pages couldn't be read automatically (Etsy listings from small Australian and overseas sellers we'd looked at in October), so we left them out rather than show old prices.
  • Currency. Euro prices were converted at €1 = A$1.6230 and US dollar amounts at US$1 = A$1.4540, the ExchangeRate-API rates published at 00:02 UTC on 8 November 2026. Epic Basing's prices are the Australian-dollar prices on its own Australian storefront, not converted by us. Prices from Australian shops are as shown, including GST.
  • Per piece. The price divided by the number of pieces the seller states for that pack, rounded to the cent. Where the seller doesn't state a count, we show a dash. Where it says "more than 100", we divided by 100 and wrote "or less". Pieces vary in size from maker to maker, so per piece is a rough guide.
  • Material. Only shown where the seller states it on the page we read.
  • Our packs. Prices and piece counts are read from our own store on the same day. We're a seller in this table, so we've kept to numbers you can check and left the judging to you.

Questions and answers

How much do basing bits cost in Australia?
On 8 November 2026 a pack of basing bits cost about A$8 to A$42 before postage. Single packs bought direct from overseas makers started under A$10, AK Interactive packs were about A$15 to A$23 in Australian shops, Gamers Grass packs were A$29 to A$39 in Australian shops, and Scale Command packs were A$16 to A$30.
Is it cheaper to buy basing bits from overseas?
The item price often is. Gamers Grass Forest Mushrooms was A$22.64 direct against A$30.35 to A$39.00 in Australian shops on 8 November 2026. Overseas makers add international shipping, which Gamers Grass, Epic Basing and Green Stuff World only show at checkout, so compare the checkout total, not the pack price.
What does shipping cost for basing bits within Australia?
The Australian sellers we checked on 8 November 2026 charged about A$10 to A$12 for standard postage. Gap Games charges A$10, Gameology A$12 to WA, Frontline Hobbies A$9.95 to metro areas and Scale Command A$11, free on orders of A$50 or more. Several shops offer free postage over A$150.
Are Gamers Grass basing bits resin or plastic?
Both, depending on the pack. On 8 November 2026 Gamers Grass described its Rocks basing bits as thermoplastic, while its Forest Mushrooms, Skulls and Bones and Chaos Shards pages said hard resin. Check the product page for the pack you want, because the material changes how the pieces cut, glue and hold detail.
How do you work out the price per basing bit?
Divide the pack price by the number of pieces the seller states. A pack of 32 for A$18 works out at about A$0.56 a piece. Treat the figure as a rough guide, because one maker's piece can be a tiny chip and another's a whole slab of floor that covers a base on its own.
Where are Scale Command basing bits made?
Scale Command basing bits are printed to order in grey resin in Perth, Western Australia, and sold direct from our website. There are 27 packs on sale, from A$16 to A$30 for 15 to 59 pieces. Standard postage in Australia is A$11, and free on orders of A$50 or more.

What you need to start basing miniatures, and where to buy it in Australia

To start basing miniatures you need bases, PVA glue and superglue, fine sand or a texture paint, a few cheap brushes, paint for a basecoat, a wash and a drybrush, matt varnish, and some tufts or static grass. In Australia most of that comes from a hardware store, a model railway shop or your local hobby store; we sell the resin bases, basing bits, movement plates and trays and texture rollers, and nothing else on the list.

Resin vs plastic miniatures (and basing bits): detail, durability, cost

Resin holds finer detail than plastic and makes whole ranges possible that would never get a plastic kit, while hard plastic is tougher, more forgiving to drop and usually cheaper per figure for popular subjects. For basing bits the same holds: resin gives sharper rock faces, crisper textures and far more variety, and plastic gives cheap, tough sprues that glue with plastic cement.
