Nightwing Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 So I'm planning to fancy up the base on my Chapter Master, as I feel he looks unfinished. I'm struggling to plan out anything that looks good on the standard infantry base. Whats the consensus on using Terminator sized bases for a model in Artificer Armour? Any advice, hints or tips for good HQ bases? So this is the Marshal in question: http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af284/jwhand90/HaloStarsCrusade/e24a8d3b-629b-45e5-b9e5-f42c4e28c8fc_zps48410e3e.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296733-does-size-matter-to-you-and-other-basing-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komrk Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have no problem with making a model's base bigger and my Praetor in Artificer Armor is on a 40mm base but it depends on your group.

Kaedes Nex Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 It's always okay to go bigger. I believe the 6th edition rulebook even said as much, in the case of larger, dioramic bases. Going smaller is the one that most people would frown upon.

Chaeron Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Bigger is fine - modelling for an advantage is going to be a bigger issue in other systems, but realistically - at best, it would only be to your detriment anyway. Go for great excessive bases - it'll look much better that way.

Aspecti Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I use 40mm bases on all HQ units, no matter what armor they're wearing. If anyone has a problem with that they can find someone else to play with :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296733-does-size-matter-to-you-and-other-basing-questions/#findComment-3809600 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has a problem with that they can find someone else to play with Even Logan Grimnar on sled?!

Aspecti Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If Logan Grimnar is willing to join the Ultramarines Scout Company and work his way up the ranks, then sure, even he gets a 40mm base.

Nightwing Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 So what about servitors/watchers/thralls/squires? On their own bases, or on the same base as their master?

Fury_of_Fenris Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I use renedra 25m bases for my guys, i prefer them over the raised GW bases, they look much better imo, would anyone have a problem with that?
