I know that regular SM bikes come with a base, but do Attack Bikes come with a base?

I have seen the attacked with and with ought bases and have been told that it is the modellors voice that you don't need to have the attack bikes on a base. Is this true?

Attack bikes do not have a base. I've seen people just use them without a base, use a dreadnought base, or use a custom hybrid base made by cutting a 40mm base in half and joining it to a bike base. Or, you could go to a custom base maker and see if they have something that would work for attack bikes.

I've also seen bikes that haven't had bases, given that the SM bikes are fairly wide, so they stand well on their own. I'm not sure if this still is the case, but I remember ultramarine bikers had the 40k round bases, whereas the DA bikers came with rectangular planks...

To glimpse the future, you must look to the past and understand it. Names may change, but human behavior repeats itself. Prophetic insight is nothing more than profound hindsight.

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from.
