    Huh that is weird - the models don't seem like they're too big for 25s.

    Here's how it is, though - I think it's safe to say that most people and tournaments doing matched play measure from base? There's no official agreed upon base size for units (except when they come with a specific base size) but there is a general idea that they should go on an equivalent size to their squares - 25mm rounds for 20 mm squares, 32mm rounds for 25mm squares etc. I'm fine with that. If tournaments don't have specific guidelines they usually have a "don't game the system" clause, meaning don't be a ****** and put your larger infantry on smaller bases. In the context of the rules the tournament is going by, it's cheating. I'd be annoyed to see a unit of 20 Ard Boyz on 25mm rounds. They'd be getting a shitload of attacks in.

    The new daemon bases are tricky - I believe they were on 25mm squares? Seems unfair to force players to rebase again, but if you want to play the tournament scene you've got to play by the tournament rules - TOs don't owe players anything. It's a private event, and if it's competitive they want to make sure that it's fair for all players.

    It sucks, but if I were a new Khorne player using the 32s I got in the box and went up against an older Khorne player using 25s, I'd be annoyed at least.

     

    I can understand your point about it, but until less than a month ago, bloodletters were provided in 25mm so it is nto like I'm trying to play the system. I already rebased from squared which I understood, but now again?

    The most anoying thing about rebasing is the multiple rebases in just a couple of years.

    SCGT is now enforcing 32mm on daemons. When AoS came out I rebased my over 100 basic infantry daemons into 25mm but if I know want to go to SCGT I need to rebase them in 32mm? They should be paying for them then.

    I understand about the rebasing from square to round, but forcing another rebase in less than 2 years is ridiculous.

    don't worry, I'm running a one man campaign to get FW to return the marks on the mammoth and skin wolves!

    if we're really lucky it might become a two or three man campaign one day ;)

    Happy to support you.

     

    getting back I to AoS and some more Khorne stuff would be welcome.

    I only found 25mm round slotted ones.
    So looks like I'll be buying from GW later to get all the others.
    What about you?

    I fount some nice prices ones on eBay. They are 30mm instead of 32mm but I guess no one will even notice and that will be better than going on 25mm 

     

    they also had 40mm and 50mm at nice prices.

     

    search for 30mm bases and you should find it. It was like 3 pounds for 50

    The latest release of Bloodletters (in the Start Collecting box) come with 32mm bases, so the consensus is to pop them on 32's - they're also a lot more stable!

     

    I understand that, which is why I was asking, but got like 50 of them in 25mm bases, that would mean having to spend like 20 quid on bases (not counting if I start rebasing all my Plaguebearers (40) daemonettes and horrors)

    My questions is, do tournaments usually allow for it?
