ArsTerra Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hello there. I'm going to make an Alpharius model for mt HH Alpha Legion. As the rules state that he replaces simple Marine, I will make him as an ordinary Space Marine but with spear and decorated armour. The question is - shall I use ordinary base for his mini, or "terminator"-base, or maybe "primarch-size" base? Thank you for your opinions.

Hellath Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I have to ask, why don't wait a few(?) months for the official Forgeworld release? Just curious about that. As for base size, I would go for a Terminator-sized one.

Fire Golem Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 He'll be on whatever base the other Primarchs are on so you should use that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304686-alpharius-model-base/#findComment-3978331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raktra Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 We've got no idea when Alpharius will be released, to be fair. It could be months. Maybe forever. UNTIL CHRISTMAS.

Fenbain Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I would guess that Forgeworld will make a miniature that is almost as big as the other Primarchs they have released and therefore will be on the same size base. Though Alpharius is described as being smaller than the other Primarchs, with the very biggest of normal space marines being able to convincingly play the part of their Primarch(s) when needed, the Horus Heresy rules book also label him as Bulky like other Primarchs and state that his armour makes up for what he potentially lacks in raw physical stature. Based on that I would say base him on the size of the smaller Primarch's if you are going for his ornate Pythian Scales armour, or at the very least a hefty true scaled marine. Hope that helps :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304686-alpharius-model-base/#findComment-3979007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If you have access to Lorgar, I'd base your sizing on him, maybe 1/2 a head shorter. As for basing FW's Primarch's gaming bases are 40mm.
