MaveriK Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 What i'am serious about is the use of Horses, anyone could state they wouldn't be able to lift a marine due to weight but they should try to true scale a horse for a change. I can say it doesn't look that bad and i might show them this week. no worries, I've done the same.. I use 'em as a counts-as swift claws from time to time. Inspiration came from http://coolminiornot.com/148835 a few years back.

commander alexander Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I actually got the "official" answer from GW HQ when I was managing one of their stores. I had asked as I had a lot of hobbyists that were asking me. The answer I was given was that Canis set the standard regardless of the fact that Fengir is the "largest of hiskind" and the base size for ALL Thunderwolves is 60mm. Who knows if G-dub will change their mind in time, but as of when I asked in October, that was their official answer Did anyone read this post? And people, use some common sense, is khan, or any other named character thats supposed to be bigger or have bigger wargear mounted on larger bases than any other model of the same type? No. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189609-what-size-bases-for-thunderwolf-cavalry/page/2/#findComment-2251429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldenhaller Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Citing a precident of what other minatures do is not really a good arguement. The minature which you're basing this idea on has a rule which works in tandem with the size of it's base meaning it will have more attacks the bigger it's base size. If there's one minature in the range which ought not be used for a comparrison of rules on base size then surely it's the one which needs a bigger base for it's rules to work? Currently there's nothing one way or the other to state what they should be mounted upon. With your 'common sense' approach could you tell me what I should be using for fenrisian wolf models and why? There's no precident here as the models don't exist and there's no special character for one to base one's 'common sense' upon. Finally, not to disparage WolfScout's information but it can hardly be said to be a primary source of information, it advises as to the experiences of one person but until there is something official released either on paper or by the studio then we're able to use what we like. If anyone is looking for an official stance then agree something locally, if you're going to a tourney ask what thier roling is as in the meantime for pickup and play games there's no real difference this will make.

No. Oh yes, the wolf brothers have read it, but we've all been told the 'official' response from HQ GW before. Indeed sometimes you can get three or more conflicting 'official' responses on the same day from Nottingham, depending on whom you are talking to. Do these characters have their number of attacks determined by the number of figures they are in base-to-base contact with? We can all ask leading questions little brother, it doesn't help to discussion to assume that anyone that disagrees with you is ignoring 'common sense'. 'Common sense' could mean that as cavalry they should be on cavalry bases and we can see that the 40mm argument is also as valid. It is frustrating that such a small matter was not sorted out in the codex - and FAQs...

Spacefrisian Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I just laugh at such posts about "i called gw hq" and such. Seeing as we play the "models are put on minimum size bases they are provided with" over here. Old metal terminators anyone?

Oldenhaller Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The base size being a minimum was from the last edition of the rulebook wasn't it...most see it as sensible, however if I was to now mount cannis on a trygon base... ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189609-what-size-bases-for-thunderwolf-cavalry/page/2/#findComment-2251661 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinkenheim Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 looks like 60mm would fit that model best imo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189609-what-size-bases-for-thunderwolf-cavalry/page/2/#findComment-2251953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
