Darkseer Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm about to make some Fenrisian Wolves, but I'm worried about which bases to use, especially if I'm taking them to tournaments. I have: Fantasy Cavalry bases 40K Monster bases 40K Infantry bases It's my understanding that to be 'tournament legal' a model cannot be mounted on anything smaller than the base it's supplied with. That would rule out the 40K Infantry bases (although I've seen people get Chaos Hound conversions on them!). That leaves the Fantasy Cavalry bases and 40K Monster bases. I take it that both of these are technically legal, although the Fantasy bases are rectangular. So really that leaves me with the 40K monster bases, which are pretty damn big. What do you use and is it deemed tournament legal?

Bloodmange Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Im about to put mine on 40mm bases, they just seem to fit better on that. It will be a bit of a grey area till GW comes out with an actual model for it.

Wispy Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 terminator bases seems to work. dunno if they're legal, but they're round and just the right size.

Lumdin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I use the space marine bike bases. They are oblong and a bit longer than the fantasy calvary base. It usually gives me an extra inch when I deploy out of a LRC and using wolves as wargear.

Wolf Lord Karulfr Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I also intend to use bike bases if I find wolf miniatures I like before GW produces a kit.

Valhalla Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I used bike bases for my wolves, a round base just doesn't look right for most models. I use the Privateer Press models from the Hordes Line (Circle of Orbos), I use the Laris and War Wolfs as they are pretty bulky, have armor plating and look like something my Wolf Lord would be with. Another big bonus is you get about another inch over the cavalry bases from Fantasy which has saved me more than once when charging out of a land raider.

Spacefrisian Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 The originals came with cavalry/biker bases so just stick with that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200595-base-size-for-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2389749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkseer Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 I think you guys have won me with the whole 'charging out of a land raider' ploy ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200595-base-size-for-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2389815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durfast Spiritwolf Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yep, bike bases for me too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200595-base-size-for-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2390525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coverfire Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 What about Thunderwolves? I have them on 60mm Bases as Canis, but for the entire squad it is very hard too manoeuvre them. I have noticed that they will fit on biker bases, but wanted to hear what the general consensus was about it.

Token Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Would it be strange to use naked crazed wepaonless berserker marines as wolves? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200595-base-size-for-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2392390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 many, many, many threads about the base sizes. search 60mm or 40mm on the forum and you should get a few results. basically it comes down to te model, i don't think they need to be on 60mm bases but if it doesn't fit on anything else properly then thats what you mount it on. alot of the ones popping up seem to need to be put on 60mm because of their size.
