Nico Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Quote However, I don't understand why battleline daemons units (plaguebearers, bloodletters, daemonettes, horrors) should go on 32mm bases. GW supply them with 25mm bases, they are on 25mm bases on all pictures and they fit really well on these. I've put a few of my plaguebearers on 32mm bases and it just doesn't work: they look small and it visually doesn't make sense. Completely agree with this one. I played against Plaguebearers yesterday and they look tiny and lost on 32mm bases. They are a unit to be fielded in blocks of 30 (or even 40) so 32mm bases seem excessive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sombremine Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi, First of all, Super helpful Excel sheet. I have a question regarding Aelves, while I understand completely the Duardin on 25mm, I put my Lion Rangers on 32mm and would think it looks ok. Won't 25mm be too small for tall Aelves ? Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrAiKo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 All 4 factions of daemons are going on 32mms for me. I'm liking the general rule of old 20mm squares --> 25mm rounds, and old 25mm squares --> 32mm rounds. By this logic chaos mortals and daemons should go onto 32mms. So far I have based the bloodbound infantry, tzeentch mortals from Silver Tower and a unit of pink horrors. All look great on 32mm. Bloodletters next. The Chaos heroes will usually go on 40mm unless they are no bigger than their corresponding infantry (ie Tzeentch Sorceror lord went onto a 32mm).

Blackheart1223 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Plaguebearers and Bloodletters come with 32mm in the start collecting boxes. I like how they look so I am re-basing all of my other daemons accordingly (except daemonettes, hey look too small). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wundlesprut Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) I recently finished one of my first units for my Hosts of Slaanesh, but was curious about opinions on the bases. I've initially just gone with the 40k biker bases they came with, but I'm wondering if they wouldn't look better on the oval ones (60x35?). Excuse my sloppy painting, I'm working on improving my neatness. Edited August 27, 2016 by Wundlesprut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullbeard Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Also curious about Aelves. I'm about to start rebasing my dark elf army and am not sure what the best way to go is. My army is big blocks of infantry (Darkshards and Dreadspears etc), so I think 25mm would look better. A huge block of 30 spearmen on 32mm rounds would look a bit to sparse I think; they should be a bit closer packed together as their job entails. but then I also have a large block of black guard and don't want people thinking I'm modelling for advantage by putting them on 25. However I think having similar sized elves on different sized bases would start to look a bit uneven. What size bases are the elf heroes in Silver Tower supplied with? Are these a good guide or are they larger to be more impressive for this game? In the sylvaneth range, tree revenants come on 32mm rounds, would that be a good comparison?

Percivael Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 @Tullbeard I have recently rebased my dark elf army - see photo. Average size infantry such as corsairs and dark shards on 25 mm, this is what GW have done as far as I can tell from photos in Grand Alliance Order. I wanted characters such as Lokhir Fellheart and Black Ark Fleetmasters to stand out from the crowd as stand alone units, so put them on 32mm and they look great - they need that space to be honest, especially Lokhir. The Aelf heroes from silver tower are also on 32mm. Recent sculpts by GW are no longer going to have ranking up in mind so poses will be more dynamic and spread out and so suited to larger bases than what similar models used to have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splax Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 There no entry for the Arachnarok spider and Boss in huge spider.

I've put a few of my plaguebearers on 32mm bases and it just doesn't work: they look small and it visually doesn't make sense. Agreed completely. Rule 1 for basing should be: Models should be based on the (round) bases they come with. Since some models come with two different size bases (i.e. Plague bearers), you should be able to base them on one of the two appropriate sized bases. No one should be punished for basing models on the bases those models ship from GW with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulot Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hey guys, need some advice on how to base some of my models: Dreadlord on Black Dragon : 120X92mm or 105x75mm or 130mm round Hydra : 120X92mm or 105x75mm Drakespwn Chariot : 120X92mm or 105x75mm Thanks!

I've just gone to a 105 as soon as it gets to that point, keeps it fairly uniform as I think quite a few things are on the 105s now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxus Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think if you are running any models on 20mm or 25mm you are likely to see them change to 32mm in the future by GW. If you put your models on smaller bases just be aware you will likely be forced to changed them so it is best to do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point in the future yes. How long that will be who knows. It is far better to play it safe then rage quitting later on when you have to rebase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullbeard Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Do we know what base size the Aelves in Spire of Dawn were shipped with? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantajisto Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Chaos Knights should be 75x42mm Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount should be 75x42mm also. Both are sold with these on the GW site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty good question and would indeed be a good indicator. As I am just about to assemble a new Daughters of Khaine force, I'd be interested in the answer. Looking at the photos on GW's site, they really appear to be 25, not 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrAiKo Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'm expecting it to be 25mm. Unfortunately there is some inconsistency amongst the aelf foot heroes so far, with Mistweaver and Shard on 32mm and the sorceress on 25mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse my sloppy painting, I'm working on improving my neatness. I'm in the same spot. The made to order ones come with the new oval bases. If you look at the AoS base packs they only do oval for cavalary. Same for 40k. I think these old rectangle biker bases are on their way out over time.

DarkWingDuck Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'm fairly certain the Sylvaneth Treelord is on a 105x70 mm base. It says 170x105 mm on the spreadsheet (which is huge!). Someone might want to fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
