Tullbeard Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi all, just wanted to get people's thoughts on whether it is appropriate to put artillery on a proper base. Now, questions about basing mainly apply from a Tournament perspective (I.e. Round vs square), so I'm coming at it from that same angle. When I say artillery, im mainly considering the older artillery models with separate crew (e.g. The Ironweld Arsenal warscrolls, or the Elf Bolt Throwers). A lot of people (myself included) I know use the artillery without any bases (the crew would obviously have bases). Would this be accepted in a tournament setting? The warscrolls for the Ironweld Arsenal show pictures where the artillery isn't based; so I'm assuming that means games workshop are fine with it from their perspective. So, do you guys base your artillery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jabber Tzeentch Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Personally I've always hated that they don't come with based. It makes them look odd. I always base mine, it makes it easier to play base-to-base and allows cool basing. If you go to a tournament then it's probably worth basing it to avoid confusion In Game.

Davariel Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I've always preferred my artillery pieces without a base so I can place them on top of castle towers and such and have it look natural, I don't think the lack of base has ever been a problem. If anyone complained I'd be happy to give them an extra inch or two of leeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Misfire Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I put mine on scenic bases. They look sad and a little strange without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsraiR Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Mine have been placed on 60mm round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tomlin Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 On a related note, is a 40mm base acceptable for a Grot Spear Chukka? (separate bases for the crew of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(separate bases for the crew of course) Seeing as they don't have bases at all, I would say any size base that fits the model would be fine tbh. Having said that, 40mm sounds like it would be too small to fit the spear chukka on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I may have an ulterior motive for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a couple of spear chukkas at home being stripped at the moment, I'll see what size base they would fit on when for ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottle Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have a Duardin Cannon dubbed "baby cannon" from Battle For Skull Pass that fits neatly onto a 40mm! For the topic at hand, yes, always stick them on bases as it looks nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
