shanehurley Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hi all, Just went to build my gore gruntas and all my bases got mixed up. I checked on the gw website and it says they come with 75x46 bases the only problem is I can't find any this size, so I either didn't get any or misplaced them or got the wrong size. Before I order some new ones I wanted to check with anybody who has any could they let me know what size they got with theirs? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N_Watson Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Just measured mine and they seem longer than 75. I was getting between 86 and 90 depending on measuring get from the underside or the top and the width being a little wider than 46 as well.

shanehurley Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 90x52 would make sense I have some of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stronghold Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The GW website is incorrect, the models definitely come with 90x52mm ovals I've got an almost complete Destruction Grand Alliance base size guide over here BTW: http://www.the-stronghold.com/index.php?/topic/28956-destruction-grand-alliance-base-size-guide/ Just a handful yet to figure out!

Chris Tomlin Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yeh @The Stronghold is 100% correct on this one. The Gore-gruntas come with the 90x52, similar to the Dracothian guard. It is an error on their website I noted as well. 75x46 is Varanguard size I believe. Basing is such a minefield. I know "bases don't matter" and all that, but lets be honest - they do! The majority of people want their models on the right base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense and judgement can apply for most things, but it's the one thing I would like to see more direction on from GW, as it's a matter that affects all games. They could still issue guidance in the spirit of AoS with "suggested sizes appropriate for Matched Play" with the caveat that it, naturally, doesn't matter and you can do what you like.

"Spirit of AoS" - woolly, wishy washy answers with all the onus on the players? Sounds about right!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A permissive ruleset that allows players to approach the game in their own way, using what elements they enjoy and adapting others to suit their games" sounds more optimistic!

No, I just channelled my boundless hobby enthusiasm into something vaguely resembling a soundbite. GW would be welcome to use it, as long as an extensive royalties agreement was in place! #Fanboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
