haksaw Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Dear gang, I p;ay with a guy who uses two storm raves. I know that bases can be no smaller than what the model comes with, but he wants to cut the clear part of the base so that the model will sit lower than before. My question is, since the foot print is the same, this legal? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227306-bases/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
old git Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 There is some GW mutterings about the base of a model can't be smaller than the one provided, but can be bigger if you want. Most people take this to mean the overall area (or footprint as you say). Depends on your definition of 'smaller'. I've seen people make the stem of flying stands shorter on all sorts of things to give a lower profile for gaining cover. On the other hand the height of the stem on the 'raven (and Valkyrie/Vendetta) does make it difficult for opposing models to hide.

Grey Mage Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Theres nothing horribly illegal about him modifying the base a bit. Seriously. If he puts the stormraven at ground level, its still a huge vehicle. Dont sweat the small stuff. Besides, the base is the black plastic part. The clear part? Thats a flying stem... not to be to technical about it but the whole setup is supposed to be ignored accoring to the rules, as its a skimmer- and bases make no nevermind to skimmers.

Max_Dammit Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 If he lowers it so you cant shoot it, he can't shoot you back, but its so big i dont see it happening you cant shoot it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227306-bases/#findComment-2723125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
