Hi all

Hi all

As I understand now even GW thinks what Tervigons must have oval base (like Trigon) but what about Tyrannofex?

**Steelmage99**

What makes you think GW means for Tervigons to have an oval base?

Notice I don't disagree with Tervigons having an oval base. Just asking what makes you think so.

**Melchiour**

As there is no model for this unit. I would say use the base that comes with whatever you are using for the conversion. If you model it off of a carnafex, use its base.

Same you can say about Tervigons - but they now shown as having oval bases
As for base for Tervigon - here is one from author of previous Tyranid codex

**Gwar!**

As there is no model, RaW you can never use one.

That being said, most people would accept it on the 120mm oval base.

How large of a base do you think is reasonable? The thing can plop out 18 models in one turn and has more wounds than a Carnofex. The 60 MM hardly seems big enough.

A 28 mm Base, and make the model 1/2" tall!

It's magik you see, and generates all those gribbly baby-nids through hammer-space.

In all seriousness the scale in the drawing(not much, nor the best thing to go on, but all we have) it should be the height of a Carnifex standing up-right, and about twice as long: so the oval base would best represent it.

Of course the first option is just as legal being as we have no model, nor base-size given to play with it.
