brother_contagion Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I've been in the process of making a Lord on a Palanquin, but have been wondering whether or not I should/need to put him on a 25mm or 40mm base. I've been thinking it should be a 40mm base partly because Nurgling models and Epidemis (which I don't have) are on a 40mm bases, and because it seems that most (if not every) model with the Bulky rule are on 40mm bases. However, there doesn't seem to be any rule to state he must go on a 40mm base since there's no Chaos Lord on a Palanquin of Nurgle to purchase, but would putting my Lord on a 25mm base be frowned upon and/or would I be disallowed from using him in tournaments with him being on a 25mm base?

Noctus Cornix Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Not only do we have reference that a Palanquin of Nurgle belongs on a 40mm base, but he also has the Very Bulky rule which we have seen is only on models that have a 40mm base at its smallest, like you said. So yes, I do believe that it would be rather frowned upon if you showed up with a model on a base smaller than what it should be. Just my thoughts, hope it helps.

brother_contagion Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Part of my rambling is because I don't have any extra 40mm bases, but I do have lots of spare cardboard I've used to make terrain with, so I could cut-out a 40mm circle and call it a day, haha. But thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Scrymgeour Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Do you have a bike base? I find my opponents dont mind as long as they can assault my larger minis with many many may xenos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 At worst, make one as you suggest - better to have it on the right sized one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kythnos Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The safe route would be the 40mm base (mine uses the same size) - and you'd also have more space to make a really cool conversion for your palanquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I've been thinking about converting spacemarine thunderwolf cavalry into chaos lords/sorcs on palanquins myself. Also tempted to use the fantasy nurgle sorcerer on steed model. People generally don't mind if you go bigger but if you go smaller they may object.
