Hey i was looking at forge world at the tau battle suits and i was wondering does that large base pose and advantages or disadvantages to my playing

Small base:

-Easier to hide.
-If bunched together, more things under template.
-Smaller footprint.
-Slightly safer Deepstrikes.

Large base:

-Harder to hide.
-Less guys hit by templates.
-Larger footprint, can block more space than normal.
-Less Safer Deepstrikes.

I prefer larger bases...but generally you base on what you get with the box.
If you get 2 from Forge World...then it's your choice between Easier Hiding and Blocking more space.

In aesthetic purposes, the larger bases allow you to add more personalisation to the model. The large suface area also prevents the models tipping over, which reduces the risk of your models breaking.
