So Im planning on making some Khorne chariots for my Daemons.
Gw doesnt make a chariot model in the Daemons range.
What I need to know is there any rule relating to correct base size for scratchbuilds?
All I could find in the rulebook was that models are to be based on the base size they come with, which doesnt help me.

Since there actually no model for these units, I would just have to tell you to use your best judgement. Look at other models that move in a similar way. I would think either 60mm or perhaps the bike base.

60mm would be a good choice, but the chariot is pulled by a juggernaught.
Juggers come standard on a 60mm base meaning a chariot wont fit.

You could just go without base on the model if it's to big. Being equivalent to tanks or the defiler. If it's pulled by juggers i think the easiest way would be to leave it w/o base OR get one of the monster bases from fantasy. (The one that comes with the mammoths and goblin spiders)

Well I wouldnt want it without a base because it counts as infantry not a vehicle.
The base I was thinking about was the stormraven sized one, not sure if that would be a bit over the top though.
Its either that or make a custom base (because Id like it to be a rounded base rather than squared fantasty one).

If you want to use a standard GW base, the large oval (Stormraven base) is your best option. 60mm will be way too small. A WHFB chariot base is almost good enough, but still too narrow. The large oval is the only standard sized base that will fit everything comfortably.

I've been having a similar issue with my Chariots of Tzeentch.
I'm probably going to use an oval base, as it has to fit two Screamers and a chariot, and screamers aren't that small.

Yeah I had the same issue when I did my Tzeentch ones too lol.
Ended up making a base for them both from Screaming bell bases and a 60mm base chopped in half for each end.
Looks like a giant biker base.
Thanks for replies though guys, looks like the oval base is a good choice to go with.

It does make them a bit unwieldy to deepstrike with, but it seems to be the best size for a decent looking model.

This appeals to me much more than the oval base does. Simply for aesthetics, mind you.

It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
