Was curious if anyone has used them before and if they are trimmable. Thanks!

Don't know if you've gotten the basing kits that GW puts out for 40k and WFB, but they have brass etchings in them for basing, and yes, as long as you have some snips, you can trim them pretty easily. If you want to test out some before you buy some from Forgeworld, Kendall has some of the basing kits... well, he did the last time I went in.

not for basing. It's the wolf etchings. I ordered 2 to put on my stuff. Some of it has som non needed sections and want to trim around them.

Oh, I know what you meant CJ I was just saying if you wanted some practice trying to trim them, there are brass etchings in the basing kits that you could use to figure out the best way of trimming them is all. I've done some trimming on mine, but I used a small pair of scissors to cut them. They are thick enough to be sturdy, but thin enough to not be very tough to cut, at least for the ones in the basing kit, that is, and I think they use the same process to make both.
