Guiltysparc Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Anyone know if the FW infantry kits come with the new 32mm bases? Its not something i thought about until i starting working on Khârn and noticed his little scenic base was the old size. I've got a bag of despoilers coming in the mail and now i'm curious if i'll need to buy a couple 32s from somewhere. All the BaC models had the 32s so i didn't think about it unitl now.

Balthamal Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Last I had were still 25mm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4348395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I just got a MK V Kit with my last order (last month) for the next while; had 32mm in it. Sigismund and Polux are both on 32mm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4348398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Tharand Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 My orders have had 32mm bases. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4348436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduddy Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I recently got a pack of Legion heavy support squad, and it came with 25mm bases. I got it about 3 weeks ago.

powwow Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Any 'new' kits have 32mm and the older ones have 25mm. I got a big order a month ago and got a mix of bases. Kind of annoying really as I dont have the excess of 32mms lying around like I do with 25mm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4348591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It's purely dependent on the age of the kit in question. I believe the Despoilers fall in to the "old" category and will come with 25mm bases.

The boater Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Can confirm, just got a mix of "older" and newer kits. The Older ones still come with 25mm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4348920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 UPS says the box is being delievered today so i'll post up what i get. I need to order a 32 for Khârn anyway, so no big deal if they come with 25s.

WolvesinSpace Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I put my Khârn on the 25mm base so that it could go back on the larger scenic one easier. I did however glue the third "locking" rock outcrop in place on the gaming base, it over hangs the 25mm base and makes it pretty comprable to a 32mm base when playing a game.

Guiltysparc Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 i was thinking i'd magnetize his foot so i could use the scenic base and a 32 for playing.

Nova_chron Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'm magnetizing the little Rock Khârn stands on to pop him to 32 for games and 25 for pictures it's fairly easy should take 7 magnets total as I'm using magnets on the "locking" portion of his scenic base Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4349020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 that would have been a good idea...but i already glued the rock to the little base having not thought about this beforehand. Although i could probably exacto it off. I'm not sure how well the little rock would look with the rest of my cork/pavement slabs basing. I'll noodle around with it a bit.

Nova_chron Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Try to make an opening in your usual basing to slot him in and paint it up like destroyed masonry maybe?

Guiltysparc Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 oh, thats not a bad idea at all...use the 25mm on top of a 32 with some cork slab to obscure the 25's edges and magnatize the base itself...that would set him out a bit from the rest of the infantry on 32s also.

Blindhamster Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Both the breachers and Destroyers I had 2 weeks ago had 25mm bases. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4349336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Varies wildly. When I bought some mkv armor to make a tactical support squad out of, they had 32s. The breachers I bought at the same time had 25s. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4349343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The new kits (when the armour kits got re released) have 32mm bases, believe just about everything else is on 25mm it's actually incredibly annoying to have to buy extra 32mm bases after spending so much on the models in the first place haha. Character series are a bigger issue as their scenic bases are 25mm mostly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320869-base-size-in-fw-kits/#findComment-4349348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
