Hi guys

I've recently gotten my hands on this model and I'm planning to use it as a skarbrand. However the base it's sitting on is a 150MM base.

Just wanted to get your guys opinion on this. Do you think the base is too large? Should I just put it on a smaller 120mm base like the large 40k oval ones. I know in a tournament it would probably cause problems, but in a friendly game would you guys be bothered by the base size?

here's a pic.

Even if it was a tournament I wouldn't give a damn that is a serious case of RULE OF COOL!!

(ofc, YMMV and you'll only be sure once you ask around in your FLGS / place where you play)

Yeah, that is definitely a case of rule of cool. I would want to face that big bastard, but that is just me and others might have problems with it due to the size (and the fact that isn't "officially" skarbrand).
So talk with those in your FLGS and play with the ones most excited by it's coolness.

Isn't Scarbrand an apocalypse only unit? If so, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Actually, I wouldn't have a problem either way.

Nope, he's in the Daemons codex. He also doesn't have an official model that I know of. Chiming in to give a +1 "looks good to me".

I must be thinking of some other Khorne daemon, then.

Only one I can think of that has a model (albeit a Forgeworld one) is Daemon Primarch Angron.

Dont forget Ann'grath the unbound.

That is a sick a model. I wouldnt care, be more focussed on how how freaking cool it is!

Rule of cool is hard to ignore. Give it one hell of a paintjob and i doubt you'll find people complaining about it.

Also, far as i know people dont really care about larger than it should be base sizes, since it tends to hurt you more than help if it helps at all. Obviously for a tournament i'd ask first because they might have a house rule for custom bases (like i know a lot of people have for their Bikerboss conversions for instance)

First Rule of 40k: If it exists, someone is complaining about it. I personally think that model is awesome!
