flicking though the ork dex there arent any decent flash git pics, i want to make a small unit to go with badruk, but they will be very cluttered and top heavy.
would many people mind if i used the small 40mm monster bases for them? (same ones as termies)
the basic ork nob is on a 25mm base, but barely fits, these will be a bit bigger, and more than likely hang over thier bases, so, how much would it matter if they get a slightly larger base than normal?

also, incase anyone is unsure, flashgitz are nobz with stupidly large guns.

The rules for what size base a miniature can be mounted on can be found on page 3 of the Warhammer 40,000 5th edition rulebook.

im at camp at the mo ghaz, so dont have the book handy.

"The models must be glued to the bases they are supplied with."

'unless you have the opponent's permission'

It used to be that going with a larger base was a disadvantage. Not sure that's true anymore.

Do you plan to measure max coherency every turn to minimize the number of models that a template will touch? That's the advantage of using bigger bases - spreading out the formation more. Using a smaller base is generally more advantageous than a larger, but not always.

If you're not TFG with a bigger base, then I don't think many people will take issue.

very good steelmage
GW dont make flashgitz.

so i can just buy warbosses and convert those for larger base sizes?

or maybe square monster bases and use ogre models as a base for the model?




thanks dietrich, i think ill make them on a 25mm base, then make a 40mm base for them to go on for display / friendly games.

I didn't included that part because of all the things written in the rules-section, that is the most idiotic (right next to the Most Important Rule).

Everything (and I do mean absolutely every-frigging-thing) is allowed with opponents permission.

Not a swing at you, dietrich. Just a pet peeve of mine.

I would also see nothing wrong with gluing a 25mm bases onto a 40mm base, or painting a 25mm ring onto the 40mm base and measuring to/from the 25mm 'ring'.

I know.

But it is the one and only rule concerning base-sizes.

thanks everyone

looks like ill be using a pin system on the bases
im pretty sure ill only be able to get 1 foot on the 25mm base though as they will be bracing themselves as they fire.

A lot of people glue a penny or something to the bottom of the base to weigh it down a bit. That could help your situation some as well.

thats what i was planning to do anti
i still have the problem of the models size though lol
where they will be braced to fire thier legs will be a distance apart, so i wouldnt be able to have both feet glued to the base, one would allways be hanging off the base.

I guess that would be a bit of a pain... haha. Unless you put the weight of Ghazghkull on the end of their weapons, you should be fine

erm, from the pics and sketches ive drawn up of the weps they wont be no small gunz
weight wise, im not too sure yet, i plan on keeping to plastic to stop toppling XD
