Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I have the regular metal daemon prince. He came on a terminator sized base. I was recently informed by somone who's word i don't really trust that all MCs must be on the larger (dreadnought) sized bases. Does the override the rule of being on the base they come with, or do i need to put my DP on a new base? Just wanted to double check.

ComradeRed Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It comes on a terminator sized base, so keep using that base. I haven't seen anywhere a Daemon Prince needing a bigger base. The only issue I have really seen with bases is people who have the old terminators that just came on regular marine bases.

Rain Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm pretty sure the old terminators and their bases are still legit since they are official GW products and as such should remain legal even if a newer version is available. Much like how the small rhinos are still usable even though they are smaller and therefore easier to hide than the larger current models.

the jeske Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 nope . there was a tournament ruling about the termis . all models save the terminators and =old dreads that didnt have bases , use the bases they are sold with . the old termis have to use the bigger bases and the dreads the dread base.

Awesome! So my Eldar Avatar, War Walker and Wraithlord can be based on 40mm square bases. Considering I bought them 12 years ago... ;) Tournament rulings have no power outside of the tournament itself, though they can sometimes be used as a good guide.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 The rules where (going by 4th Ed not sure what happen with 5th Ed) you base your model on the base supply or you could go bigger. But you could not down size the base. So a Daemon Prince for exsample is supply with a 40mm base (Termy size) but you could put him onto a Dreadnought base... it to you. However he can not be put on a 25mm base (normal size for Chaos Marines). Not sure if there been any changeies with the 5th Ed release. All I rememeber was 4th Ed when I was doing my Biker Marine force due to wanting bigger base than the WFB horse base :lol: Hope this helps IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145158-dp-base-size/#findComment-1688626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
