Ok, based off of the GW models Fiends of Slaanesh's bases are medium-sized, right?

I need to know base sizes for:

Herald of Slaanesh on a chariot--I was thinking dreadnaught base but I could see the medium base.

Seekers of Slaanesh--I was thinking of using medium bases for these ones too. I guess you could use the bike bases but I hate the square bases in 40k.

Any help is much appreciated Thanks in advance!

"Use whatever base they come with" is the rule.

Its kind of hard to use what they come with when they don't exist.

Use whichever size you think fits them the best.

The rules don't define base sizes beyond the 'use what the model comes with' bit.

The vast majority of players, from my experience, will neither notice nor care what size bases you use, so long as they're not ridiculously over- or under-sized.

Thanks for the input--I guess I should've clarified a bit first to save some time

I understand I have to use the base that they come with, but Heralds on Chariots or Mounts don't have a base and neither do the Seekers.

The only problem I see is if someone expected me to use cavalry bases and I'd used the 40mm ones. I just don't want to fark this up.

Thanks again!

For what it's worth, the mounts of slaanesh used to come on cavalry bases, and the more recent figure came with both cavalry and medium round bases.

If you're taking a fantasy chariot body and putting two horses, mounts of slaanesh, or similarly shaped creatures in front of that, I think it's going to be hard to fit all of that onto even a dreadnought sized base. You basically have to make up something like the 50 x 100 chariot base, or use something huge like the LOTR oval dragon base to have enough room for everything.

Herald of Slaanesh on a chariot--I was thinking dreadnaught base but I could see the medium base.
****There is a specific chariot base in WFB.

Seekers of Slaanesh--I was thinking of using medium bases for these ones too. I guess you could use the bike bases but I hate the square bases in 40k.
****Cavalry bases again. All the WFB cavalry pretty much uses those bases.

Thanks everyone for your input
