Vrakas Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 What daemons do we expect to go to 32mm if any? I am finishing my khorne army and want to get a census. Should/could bloodletters be on 32mm? My marines will be 32mm, so I can go either way. I like the idea of them staying on 25mm so they look less impressive than my beserkers, but fluff/size wise should I put them on bigger? Same question for other lesser daemons.

Forté Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I doubt anyone will be hugely bothered and GW don't release any hard and fast basing rules so base away on the size you like. 32mm if you like that little extra basing space and stability or 25mm if you've already used loads that size and like the look.

Trokair Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I can see myself putting Heralds on 32mm bases, but not any of the regular demon infantry. That said all my current heralds are mounted so are on different bases anyway.

Chaeron Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 32mm, for most Daemons, is going to be too big IMHO. I'd stick with Old Faithful. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301218-daemon-base-size-32mm/#findComment-3917899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimjimmyjim Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 No, use the base that the model is supplied with as a default. This rule has been in the book since 3rd edition, no reason to think this will ever change. So my mate whom plays RT nids that were are supplied with square bases is as relevant now as it was when he first bought them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301218-daemon-base-size-32mm/#findComment-3919627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 32mm with 2 inch cohesion spacing reduces casualties from templates by alot. I suppose it might make it harder to fit a whole unit in cover though.

Xenith Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Flamers would probably benefit from the larger base, both in looks and stablity. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301218-daemon-base-size-32mm/#findComment-3941459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Having seen smaller-than-astartes minis on the new 32mm bases, I'm definitely thinking of getting some for my daemons. I've always liked to put display minis on 40mm bases with a load of scenic Stuff, and that's basically the effect you get when you put anything smaller than a space marine on the new bases. It's fantastic. Flamers would probably benefit from the larger base, both in looks and stablity. Haha yeah. Mine are metal, and they Do Not Stay Upright Well. Pinning them to 32mm bases should fix that, hopefully. I don't have any of the plastic ones, but they seem pretty sizeable, so they'd also probably do well on these.

gwarsh41 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 32mm for daemons will drastically increase the deep strike foot print. I would not do it. 32mm on my SW looks freaking sweet though, and leave plenty of room for trophies.
