I think round may look better for them. Thoughts? I'm probably wrong about this, but I'm putting stuff like hounds, fast cav, weapon teams etc on the bike ovals. They don't look right to me on anything bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsharitt Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The Nighthaunt Cairnwraith and Tomb Banshee are both listed at 32mm, but the pictures on the warscrolls look much more like 25mm(I have mine based at 25mm and it looks spot on) and it looks like the Tormented Spirits Allies box is coming with a 25mm for the Cairn Wraith(not to mention they're both pretty svelte models that would look ridiculous on 32mm). So if @The Stronghold or anyone else with write access would update it, that'd be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On GW website they say they supply the box with a 105mm oval base ( I assume 105x90mm). Maybe one of the admin would like to change it .

Memnoch Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 My wife just bought a Lord of Slaanesh on a Demonic Mount and it comes with a 50mm square base. I checked the list and the round size is missing for that model, and we're not quite sure what to put him on. What round size are people using for that one?

I checked the list and the round size is missing for that model, and we're not quite sure what to put him on. What round size are people using for that one? Typically, you go up one size when going to round. For example, many models that came with 20mm Squares were moved to 25mm Rounds, while 25mm Squares got bumped up to 32mm Rounds. There are some exceptions (some 40mm Squares went to 40mm Rounds), but that's a good rule of thumb. I would try a 50 or 60mm Round and go from there. The 60mm will probably look better, but I'm not familiar with the model (never seen one of those in person). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verengard Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Question about the Bretonnian Bases. Why do you suggest using 32mm for Damsel & Foot Paladin? The original models are on 20x20, shouldn't it be 25mm? And for Pegasus knights and Fay enchantess. Pegasus come with 40x40bases. Why use 75x46 not 50mm as with Terradon Riders which also came on 40x40 originaly. Especialy that these models are wider than longer. The Fay Enchantress come with 50x50 base. Shouldn't she get something more round than 75x46 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Dude, right where im at at,. found a nice blog had hellcannon on 130 round, to account for the chains holding the thing back, and still not 100% on Dragon Ogors but GW email told me 75x46... I disagree with that. Though with cold one bottom halves they might be tad smaller than real dragon ogres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Walton Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hi. The base sizes for flesh hounds of khorne is listed as 60x35 (with a yellow background - not sure what this means) However, the models come shipped with rectangular cavalry bases or 50mm round bases. Why is the size listed differently in the spreadsheet? Thanks, Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Morathi's model will be big enough to be comparable with all these dragons meaning 130mm is way too big for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphage Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Guys I have to make sure because I am ordering it ! Dread Saurian is on the 170x105 right ? Anyone seen him play at GT to give me a final answer just to be on the safe side ? Thanks a lot and sorry for the trouble ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Daughters of Khaine thoughts... the current Cauldron of Blood/Bloodwrack Shrine kit says it comes with a 40mm round base, that seems too small for both the Bloodwrack Medusa (I have mine on a 50mm since before and it's perfect) and the Avatar of Khaine. The Avatar in particular is puzzling, the only photo of one on foot in the book has the base obscured by mists (p. 34) and the 360-degree view of one on the GW online store suggests it is on a 50mm base (I did some measuring on the screen and in real life to find comparison points). The Medusa I could maybe see on a 40mm though she does splay out a bit then (and heroes tend to be on larger bases than their infantry counterparts, the new Melusai are on 40mm), but certainly never the 25mm the document currently suggests. Actually I just looked in the book and the Bloodwrack Medusa there is clearly on a 50mm base. I think they should both be listed as 50mm due to their model sizes, relative impacts on the game and GW precedents - thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduboy Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Which base you recommend for the Frostheart Phoenix? Stardrake size doesnt seem too bad because its just the length of phoenix. But is that still too big? Would basic flyer base still be better? Edited April 12, 2018 by eduboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robguyday Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I disagree with Settra's 120x120 base size. (Also worth noting that all TK characters have lost their unique names) The Slaanesh Exalted chariot comes on a 120x92, so why wouldn't a Tomb King on Exalted Chariot be on the same size base?

Laurecu Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The Chart says a Skink Priest is in a 32mm but mine is in a 25mm, it also says the Saurus heroes should be in a 40mm base but that's a size higher than the 32mm of the rest of the Saurus. Is the chart right? Should I put Skink Heroes in 32mm and Saurus Heroes in 40mm instead of the 25mm and 40mm the normal units are in?

TheOtherJosh Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 @Ben The Flesh-hound of Khorne from the Shadespire Set (Magore's Fiends) comes with a 50mm base. I'm voting that we update the 60x35mm to a 50mm round.

The recommended 60x35 is (likely) based (ha!) on a 'one up size oval' from the Cavalry bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" if you have all the extra goodies (chains and piles), you want a 170mm oval. All the smaller bases mess up the chains I have seen bare bones hellcannons on much smaller bases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
