Prot Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'm wondering what everyone thinks of this for Admech? I have a lot of the Sector Imperialis bases left over from my Ultramarines. They almost used all the 32 MM bases up and lots of 40mm. But I noticed the "Start Collecting" boxes are still shipping Skitarii with 25mm. What do you guys think if I stick my 25mm bases on my Skitarii Vanguard/Rangers? I'm not trying to leverage anything for advantage here. I think it works both good, and bad for some units, but these are tiny models, and I have sooo many of these bases left. What do you think?

DanPesci Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ive been using 25mm on my vanguard (as all mine came from the start collecting box)...looks fine. If anything it then looks better when i then have my new SW mkIII guys next to them on 32mm base as it makes them look slightly beefier in comparison Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339325-25-mm-bases-for-admech/#findComment-4885244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl of Wulfen Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Skitarri vanguard and rangers are on 25mm bases, E priests are on 32mm and sicarans are in 40mm Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339325-25-mm-bases-for-admech/#findComment-4885245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Skitarri vanguard and rangers are on 25mm bases, E priests are on 32mm and sicarans are in 40mm Yes but do you think as they move forward with the codex that we will see them on 32mm? I sure hope note, but then again at this point I don't know why anyone would complain about it. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339325-25-mm-bases-for-admech/#findComment-4885318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I hope they don't change the base sizes. That would make me fairly unhappy with mix and match bases.

Ichar Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I hope they don't change the base sizes. That would make me fairly unhappy with mix and match bases. Secret Weapon sells base add ons to make 25mm bases into 32mm bases. Looks like they would work fine with base material over them.

Shinespider Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 It's very unlikely that Skitarii will be bumped up to 32mm - they're pretty small models. There's just no reason to. Future models are more likely to be 32, since GW seems to be favoring a slightly larger scale recently, but that's a different matter entirely.

Silentz Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I think 25mm is still the proper base for light infantry like guard, kabalites, skitarii etc. I don't expect that to change at all. 32mm is the medium infantry base like marines etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339325-25-mm-bases-for-admech/#findComment-4885834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulfast Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Lol, we are the faction with the most wierd bases in the whole game. No one are close to all our diffrent bases. I actually like that :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339325-25-mm-bases-for-admech/#findComment-4885927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Yes, our army has a weird facination with oval bases. Particularly if you include Mechanicus aligned Knights. I like decorating bases so it's good fun for me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339325-25-mm-bases-for-admech/#findComment-4885937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Yeah I think you'll be safe keeping Skitarii on 25mm! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339325-25-mm-bases-for-admech/#findComment-4885954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It's a shame sector mechanicus bases don't come in 25mm size. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339325-25-mm-bases-for-admech/#findComment-4886631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I put my Shadow War Skitarii onto the Sector Mechanicus bases, but I have them specifically for that. My 40k are on a mix of Imperialis and slate rubble and mesh bases.

banis Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Human sized infantry (Guardsmen, skitarii..etc..) have not changed size i quite a while. Same goes for new stuff like poxwalkers..etc. It is other stuff that really should be bigger than guardsmen that is growing in size.
