In ur base, killin ur d00dz

I don't think there's any official word on it but even if it is the new thing, there's no chance I'm swapping all of my bases to them.

Nobody knows for sure, as GW has said nothing on the matter other than "these new BA models come with 32mm bases and here's some bags of 32mm bases for sale."

oh okay, I wasn't sure if there was an official word yet, With the new necron sneak pictures they look to be on 32's as well, I have like over 100 necron models that I really dont feel like (nor want) to re-base lol

The thing with them is that some of the regular Infantry Models are a bit too large for the 25 mm bases, so GW is switching them out for 32 mm. It's something you have to do as a player, and you can indeed choose to model new models witht he 25 mm bases if you so desire - It's just the design team trying to get some new base sizes out there.

The rules only assume models will be based on the bases with which they are supplied.

New models being packaged with bigger bases need have no impact on your existing collection.

All of the Necrons from the images that have been shown so far have been on 32mm bases. I DO think it was for artistic reasons, and not to sell bases, though. Comparing my Crimson Fists (25mm) with my Blood Angels (32mm), the Blood Angels really do look better on their bases. I never cared for the fact that the old bases had a lot hanging off of them. It will have some game impact, though, especially with a Deep Strike heavy army like Blood Angels.

The following is currently just a rumour, so take it as you will.

According to my LFGS owner/operator GW is supposedly going ot announce that all PA Marines are to be rebased to 32 mm, an all models are to be based on the current base size for that model (so the old 25mm Termies will need to be rebased to 40mm).

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

They can hand out all the free 32mm bases they want. I ain't changing 1000+ models with finished bases, including resin bases.

I believe someone emailed GW and to paraphrase the response was use whatever base you want. Maybe I will email them, just to get it from the horse's mouth.

I mean, I can see how well models fit on 32's but I'm in the same boat as Talys, I just bought a dark eldar army and they are all on 25's I imagine they would look great on 32's for sure so 32's will most likely be in the mail before i inish them.

But I also have an apocalypse sized force of necrons sitting under my desk, if it becomes compulsory to have them then I'll consider it (though unlikely), but if not theres no chance I'm pulling off that many finished bases off little skelemen feet.

I ain't touching any 28mm bases on my old models, and that's that.

GW can stick those extra 4mm where the sun don't shine!

I know I'm nitpicking, but the new ones are actually 7mm bigger . Old bases are 25mm.. 1inch (or just shy of). And my wife tells me every inch counts.
