Making a daemon pri ce out of an ogre tyrant, and since he does not come with a round base I need to know what size round base to put him on. I'm hoping it's the termi ator sized base since I have a ton of those, while the bigger size I'd have to make or but one.

60mm base as they are a LOT bigger than a terminator.

Yeah, 60mm is considered the standard.

Demon Princes come with the terminator (40mm) sized base.

That surpises a lot of people because they barely fit on them, and most people mount them on a 60mm base.

I think the standard demon prince model comes with a 40mm base, but the nurgle demon prince comes with the larger 60mm base.

Wow, and I thought this was gona be a quick easy one.

The "Daemon Prince" model used to come with 40mm. I think the newer castings come with a 60mm.

I've used the Unbound Daemonhost and Deceiver models for mine, which came with 40mm. If 40mm is big enough for a behemoth like Deceiver, I'm perfectly happy using it for my weakling daemon prince.

I just received one directly from GW, it still comes with a 40mm base.

Gwar is right. ARGHH!!!! (edit the ones I've seen came with the larger base)

Which ever one it comes in.
^that is the general answer.

You only have your scouts honor to honor that rule. So at the end of the day it's which ever you feel is 'best'...whether that be for aesthetics or gaming reasons.

Well there's also the issue of people using conversions. I used a Belakor, so wantying to know what the base is is more of a factor.
EDIT I've been informed they currently use 40mm bases. I don't see how they freeking fit...

It's definitely 40mm.

Daemon Princes really arnt that big. Theyre tiny when standing next to a carnifex.

Good point. Of course everything but my Shaggoths are tiny when standing next to a Carnifex...

You'll keep your shaggoths in your pants, please, sir.

Ah I see your mother's been talking about me again
(always sounds better with a fake Scottish accent)

Shaggoth, GW's answer for when you run out of bullets in the middle fo the Zombiepocalypse 2012 games and just need something to bash your way to the finish line.

I think I'll go ahead and use a 40mm. I've got a bunch of extras of those and no 60mm, plus it looks the right size for an ogre and keeps him smaller than my GUO.

I inherited two of the DP on 40mm, with huge wings on them. Not much smaller at all than a bloodthirster when side by side. I rebased them on 60mm, as they just looked silly.

Unless it's Nurgle it should be 40 mm. If it's Nurgle both 40 mm and 60 mm would be ok.

Unless it's Nurgle it should be 40 mm. If it's Nurgle both 40 mm and 60 mm would be ok.

But they're still both demon princes. The idea that just because one is nurglish you should get to choose seems unfair. I don't know... My thought is they look much better on a 60mm base.

it comes with a 60mm base, I see no reason why it wouldn't be used that way...

Judging from the GW product page the base size it's supplied with is 40mm



(ah, and a friend who plays Chaos has a DP on a 40mm base )

The Nurgle Prince has a 60mm, by the looks of it (I've never actually seen one IRL myself)


wouldn't it be nice if GW was consistent on their website and listed what base sizes the models come with? Some do, some do not
