Commander_Moustache Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So my heavy Mortars just arrived and I am wondering what sized base I need to put them on. I know the aircraft base is good for an earthshaker gun, but its too large for somethign half the size and an heavy weapons crew base is too small (but just the right size for a rapier destroyer battery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 really, the heavy weapons crew/walker base is too small? I don't think they make another size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I hear ya, but I don't think they need bases. Thunderfires don't have any. Just make sure the crew do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander_Moustache Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I only ask because the thudd gun (which I imagen is the same size) is mounted on a base in some pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarov Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 And... bases look cool - they allow you to add an environment around the artillery piece more akin to a diorama, such as spent shells, ammunition boxes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Technically doesn't it only need a base if it comes with on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Er....sort of. My metal cadian autocannons didn't come with one, but I'm pretty sure I'd be cheating if I didn't mount them on one... Anyway, I think artillery, as opposed to heavy weapons teams, doesn't need a base. Isn't it true that the gun itself cannot be targeted? That it's only real role on the tabletop is the drawing of LOS, it's just removed if the crew are killed? If that's right, then no base needed...bases mainly just matter when the based model is being targeted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander_Moustache Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nope it is a seperate model. Hence why I want a base, so its easier to tell if its hit or not AND it give me somewhere to glue the shells. I think somethign the size of a dvd will do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Well, in that case, the flyer base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Or, since there is no official base, a dvd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarov Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 OR *gasp* a non GW base that is to your liking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I used flyer size bases for my thudd and heavy mortars... 5 crew for just fine in there:) The 60mm fit the rapiers just fine as well. Looking forward to seeing you dudes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
