i am trying to find a base for the thunderfire cannon (i want a plain black base for the moment). Does anyone know what base might fit it comfortably? (the Dreadnought base is just too small - the rear arms hang off the back).

Does anyone know the dimensions of the bases:

Hellpit Abomination
Screaming Bell
Large Oval Base
chariot base

I built one using a Dreadnought base and extending it. Final dimension were 60mm wide by 80mm long.
I have a tutorial on how I built it in case you decide to go this route.

Good luck!

Yeah I would go with what he^ did or an oval base.

thanks!
