-Brutus- Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hey Are there any rules preventing me from putting my normal space marines on 40mm bases instead of 25mm bases? would this effect gameplay at all? I haven't played in years so I really can't remember. The reason why I'm asking is that I started making true scale minis and I've put them on 40mm bases. Since I'm not plaing with them any way iy didn't seem like a problem at the time. Now it has occurred to me that I might acutally assemble an whole army again where this might become relevant again.

Quixus Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It will affect how much space you need to deep strike the unit and how many enemy models scan pile in around yours.

Teetengee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I would put them on 32mm bases to avoid issues, since some space marines come on those now anyways, and I think it will probably be enough for them to fit on.

-Brutus- Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Nice! Thanks guys! Good points there Quixus, I had forgotten about these things. Thanks Teetengee, I didn't even know 32mm bases werea thing now. Sounds like a good compromise Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303587-40mm-base-vs-25-mm-base/#findComment-3954502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 your opponent would have to be okay with it, but i can't think of a single circumstance where the bigger base would be an advantage in any meaningful way. In most circumstances it would be a disadvantage. I'd say go for it, and if your opponent isn't okay with it, than you probably are best off not playing that person to begin with.

-Brutus- Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sweet! haha yeah you're right! It is a game after all and I doubt I'd be very serious/competitive about it myself Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303587-40mm-base-vs-25-mm-base/#findComment-3954769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
