Shandathe Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Since this very box, actually. I suspect it's mostly a case of the Repentia leaning a lot and the eviscerator making them top-heavy, with 28mm being a compromise between not going up to 32mm immediately yet not letting gravity have its way with the poor girls. No official reason was given. Tin-foil hat territory: Since it's the Repentia only, there's speculation that this move keeps them from fighting in quite as many ranks (because the old 25mm base is smaller than an inch there's room for shenanigans) but Arco-flagellants were kept on 25mm.

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The Howling Banshees and Incubi from that recent Blood of the Phoenix box also had 28mm bases. Think they first came out in the Warcry starter set. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360421-28mm-bases/#findComment-5443028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Lightstar Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 They introduced them with Warcry. I suspect it's with the end goal of giving different units a size rating. 25, 28, 32, 40 and 50 mm bases for infantry.

Firedrake Cordova Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 As Rik says, they came in with the Warcry warbands. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360421-28mm-bases/#findComment-5443960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
