dogfender Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Since no new models have been released for any 'henchmen', could someone please tell me what bases to use? I assume 25mm, but it looks like Greyfax (only plastic Inq is on a larger base). Just trying to figure out the base creep. and no, I dont have any standard henchmen models to use the base to come with them =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBen Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 All the actual henchmen come on 25s. For the normal size of the models (usually "human" sized), and the fact that they're not space marines, I'd be inclined to stick with 25s myself. That said, depending on how you're modelling them, I don't think anyone is going to begrudge you a 32 if you wanted to use the larger ones.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 If Greyfax does, indeed, have a 32 mm base (a bit hard to tell from the pics I've seen), I'd imagine it's because she's wearing power armour. As near as I can tell, anything human-sized or smaller and not in power armour is still sold with the old 25 mm bases. Whereas GW swapped-out those bases for 32's in all the existing Space Marine kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, depending on how you're modelling them, I don't think anyone is going to begrudge you a 32 if you wanted to use the larger ones. It's been a while since I've read that section, but I think the main rulebook even says that "size doesn't matter" and you can use whatever size base you want (within reason). Personally, I think that my marines that I haven't re-based look goofy on 25 mm, but I think 32 is too big and would look "off" in a different way if there's just a regular human standing on it. Your mileage may vary, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfender Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Thank you both for the swift reply, I appreciate it. I am fond of the larger 32 mil, just gives a nicer space for things like daemonhost and monkeys lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashc Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Out of curiosity, what bases are Sisters sold with now? - Just thinking that they are in power armour too (similar to Greyfax's armour, in fact). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBen Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I think the metals all still have 25mm bases. But Celestine's 2 friends have 32mm bases, and the Saint herself is on a 40mm. I don't think they make slotta bases in 32mm though, so that could be the reason. One day, when we get plastic sisters, they may well decide to go to 32mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beams Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The Gemini needed 32mm for stability. If they were on anything smaller, they'd fall over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
