Hey folks!

how big are bases? I don't know their mm size, just references.

1" Troop base
2" Bigger base
Dreadnought Base

Are there any other sizes? And what are the respective actual MM sizes of those? 25mm, 40mm, 60mm? Something else? Thanks.

I belive its 25mm, 40mm and 60mm

In 40k it's:

25mm
40mm
60mm
25mm by 60mm(bikes i think)
60mm by 120mm(large oval but I could be wrong)

or

1"
2"ish
3"ish
1"x3"ish
3"x6"ish

Regular troop bases are 25mm. Plus or minus a few tenths, depending on if they're slotted or not or if they're from the new or old molds.

Terminator bases are 40mm (just a hair over an inch and a half) in theory, and about 39.5 in fact.

Dreadnought bases are supposedly 60mm, but are actually about 64mm.

Small flying bases are about 32mm across.

Large Flying bases are almost exactly 60mm across.

The flat "Epic Titan" bases are also just about 60mm across.

Bike bases are 25mm across, and 72mm long.

The oval Monster/Flyer bases are 120mm long and 94mm across.


Non GW:

Privateer and several other companies use the rounded edge bases. They come in 30mm (small), 40mm (medium), and 50mm (large). The bases are inset on top (giving them a small lip).

There's some UK companies that make 20mm (slotted), 30mm, and 50mm round bases with the same flat sides as GW bases. The 50mm ones are somewhat thinner (about 2.5mm instead of 3mm), but the 30mm ones are the same depth, and they're all smoother on top than GW's somewhat sand-like texture. I've not had reason to use the 20mm ones, so I don't own any to measure.
