Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 GW has some wolves you can buy in packs of 5, from one of their fantasy sets. They come with rectangular bases. Do people use these bases in 40k for their wolves? Or should I go with bike bases (which are just as wide, but longer than the fantasy ones)? The wolves I bought look a tiny bit too small for the bike bases....

jmurph Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Whatever you like and think looks best. they come with the standard fantasy cavalry base (and would certainly be legal) but the bike base would be okay, and GW mounted hounds on the terminator bases during the Black Crusade, so as long as they are mounted the same, shouldn't be an issue. I would lean towards the fantasy cav or bike bases. I use bike bases for my wolves since I don't like square bases for 40k.

Spacefrisian Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Those rectangualr bases are the same as the previous bike bases, so they shouldnt be a problem. In fact its even easier to put them on those base do the slots on those bases.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Those rectangualr bases are the same as the previous bike bases, Â Cool, I didn't realize there were old bike bases that were shorter. Sounds like the rectangular bases that come with the wolves are the way to go...

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I use the rectangular bases the fantasy wolves are supplied with, although I do not like the square bases in 40K either. Â I also tried the rounded bike bases, and found then a bit too long.

Wolfbrother_Donar Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I proxy them as medium bases since it says that when they are in transports they count as two units.

SeanyPrawny Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I do mine on termy bases since they take up 2 slots in transports etc. Though I use wargs so they come with those bases anyway :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208099-fenrisian-wolf-base-size/#findComment-2483195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirax Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I've got those, and I used Terminator sized bases (40mm I think) that I got from eBay. I bought two packs of wolves and ten bases. Came to less than £20, whatta bargain. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208099-fenrisian-wolf-base-size/#findComment-2485547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbob Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 All of mine are just on the long, square fantasy calvary bases since that's what they came with. Bought them cheap used and didnt feel like paying for bike bases. Not when I'd have to rebase 30 of them lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208099-fenrisian-wolf-base-size/#findComment-2485864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjaco Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 My question is who gets slammed with cleaning up after all these beasties on the ships when they are brought along with the fleet?

jmurph Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Servitors and bondsmen most likely. Maybe punishment for unruly BCs! In any case, it's probably not much worse than cleaning up after the other SWs ;-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208099-fenrisian-wolf-base-size/#findComment-2487135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarvald the Troll-faced Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I dislike the rectangular bases. They are just too... edgy for me. I would run them on the new biker bases instead or on terminator bases.

Macharim Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The new Seekers of Slaanesh are mounted on rounded bike bases so our wolves should probably be mounted on the same. Doubt anyone would complain about any other bases though.
