Apologies if this has already been discussed, i did a quick search and couldn't see anything about it.

Earlier i was able to get a look at my local GW's SW codex, and after reading about Canis Wolfborn's, (the guy riding the thunderwolf), rule about his attacks being equal to the number of enemies in base contact with him, unless his base 5 is higher, but at the end of the rule, there is a quick note saying something along the lines of for those thinking of mounting him on a large base to take advantage of this-don't even thik about it. Well that got me thinking about the part of the BRB, that says that you may mount your men on larger bases if preferred. When i first saw Canis i thought a largish scenic base would suit him quite well, but would i be able to?

It does not say that in the main rules anymore.
That was 4e.

Yes, now it says that in order to field a model with a base other than that which it came with you need opponent's permission.

Or your TO's Permission. But yes, kirsanth has it right. You are thinking of the wrong game.

Even if the "Mount on a larger base if you wish" rule was s till in force, it would be over-ruled by Canis's more specific rule of "Don't!"
