the newer ones are now

So are the older ones. I have bases all the way back to Rogue Trader that are all the same size. There's an RTB01 Beakie Marine sitting right in front of me now with a 25mm base.

and shrinking is a thing hence why original 25mm Bases were only 23mm, making a difference if you placed a horde but people start complaining because more models than calculated fit under a 5" template (base = 1" and 2" appart is different than 23mm 2" between for 20 models)

Did it though? 1" is not 25mm anyway so 5" touches 7 bases for both in b2b.

touch, 2" gap, 25mm base., 2", 25mm base, 5" is covered.

touch, 2" gap, 23mm base, 2", 23mm base, 2", 23mm base. Same amount.

B2b it's 7 bases touchedeither way.

Speaking of bases, is anyone else annoyed that GW continues to supply us with 20 year old 40mm round bases which are piss poor quality compared to newer base molds? They even have a new high quality mold for 40mm and 50mm bases but those are supplied only with items made in China such as Endless Spells or new Objectives.
