knife&fork Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yes that looks like 40mm bases for whatever reason. I wouldn't count flipping the extra content for easy money. The only thing that a nid player is likely to want from this box is the brood lord.

TheHarrower Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hmm. They definitely look bigger especially compared to the gene stealers on the right. There was a rumor that new 32mm bases are being released next week. Are they on those bases?

Quixus Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 What do we need a new base size for anyways? Is that some ploy so that people can't use existing 3rd party bases?

TheHarrower Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 What do we need a new base size for anyways? We don't. Maybe they're changing the rules and putting jump pack minis on larger bases so we can't magnetize the jump packs anymore.

TheHarrower Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I am not replacing 7000pts worth of bases thats for sure. Ugh. I wouldn't want to do that either. Wasn't there a rule that you are supposed to put models on the base they were bought with? So get lots of ASM now. I don't know if this is why they are doing it. I just always tend to think of the worst possible scenario in any given situation when GW is involved. I'm jaded like that I guess.

So get lots of ASM now. Doesn't exactly work like that. My brother for example owns a 10000 dark angels army. 3000 pts of it is deathwing terminators and %70 of them are from third edition. Imagine his face when the fifth edition hit and terminators had to be put on larger bases. Correct me if I am wrong. And I do want to be wrong in this instance.

ElectricPaladin Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The official GW tournament rules used to be that the model needs to be on the base it came with, which means practically, that a model could be placed on any base it has ever come with. But... official GW tournaments no longer exist. So, now, the answers are... At a tournament you can put a model on any base the tournament organizer allows. At a friendly game, you can put a model on any base that your buddy will let you get away with. So I'm afraid it's not so simple anymore, if it ever really was.

Leonaides Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Ormaybe they've realised that some of their models are too topheavy or unbalanced...?

TheHarrower Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 We're getting close brothers! via Stickmonkey on Faeit 212 from what I understand all the existing BA specific boxes are also getting updated to the new style: (SG, DC, Baal, Dread). Though, I do believe sources saying BAs are getting a new Terminator box. I believe BA have 1 vehicle and another "marine" box in this release. but its a very small release, 3 kits total...4 if you count the "campaign" box with the captain. And they are saying no Mephiston LOW, that that's just internet wish-listing run rampant. (Which, I had fallen victim to myself...too many voices) Take it for what its worth, though, cause none of my sources had the tyranid release. I'm fine with 3 kits. Just make one of them a tank cheaper than a Land Raider with assault ramps!

thebymster Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 If we get Tactical Grav...would this mean we get Centurians? I'd like to think not. Whilst there is cross-over in the Marine books, Centurions for me just don't feel IX Legion. I actually don't mind the models and I've seen some painted up as Blood Angels (and I've also seen them tear through my Marines at times), but if we were to get "generic" stuff I'd prefer to see general Grav and the Talon. Everything else should be off-limits. I agree wholeheartedly! I hate Centurions so much that I could never have them! But I used to be the same about flyers! They're not so hard to crack and once you do there ain't a lot left to your opponent (in a 1500 - 1850 anyway) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285142-what-2014-will-bring/page/58/#findComment-3870575 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 You don't have to. The rules state you use the base the model comes with which is why my bikes on cavalry bases are entirely legitimate.

I welcome the option as some models like assault marines and genestealers are difficult to use on standard 25 mm bases.

It depends really. For example, I have my old Terminators on their 25mm base and I've put them on top of 40mm bases. What this does is means I can field them with the new Terminators as it makes uniform bases and makes the terminators the same height as each other (the old terminators were smaller than the current ones).
