So, I have a stupid sounding question..

Does the Chaos Space Marine Daemon Prince come on the Terminator sized bases, or the larger ones used for wraithlords and dreadnoughts?

**Commissar Typhus**

The large ones for wraithlords and dreads

**JoeyHeadwounds**

The plastic Daemon Prince comes on the 60mm base like the Dreadnoughts. The last time I bought one (2004), the metal Daemon Prince came with a 40mm base same as the Terminators.

**Chowderhead**

60mm.

Did the old one come on a 40mm? Interesting. Looking it up as we speak...

**InquisitorVaron**

Lots of Old models have smaller basses so I would believe that to be true.

**Amanax**

Hmm. So if I were to make my own for my Fiance, should I get the 60MM, or the 40MM, if both are available? Or just do both and magnetize? Lol.

**SagesStone**

The 60mm as the 40mm isn't the current base size.

The standard 40K Prince came on a 40mm. The Nurgle Prince came on a 60mm.

**Amanax**

So... really either of them would work then?

Go 60mm in a friendly game it probably wouldn't matter but in a tornament you might hit some problems.

Usually said older models were smaller; not in this case! That model didn't like to stand up much.

The rule is that a model can't go on a base smaller than what it came with. If you're scratchbuilding your own, I'd probably go with a dreadnought-sized base since they're the standard now.

Luckily, we don't really do anything but fun games so that's all good.

Fair enough. I'll have to see if I can pick up a spare 60MM base.

Actually, the rule is that if you use anything other than what the model is supplied with, you need your opponents permission to field the model.

Otherwise, I would agree, the 60mm base is probably the best way to go.

60mm. Just bought a couple packs of those for my demon princes and some old greater demons that didn't come with the right bases.
