This came up in the News and Rumors thread so I dug around until I could find the actual list of things changed.

-"Human" miniatures (the standard ones): 25mm Base
-Basic Remotes (like Yaokong or Dronbots): 40mm Base
-Special Remotes: Changes to 55mm Base

***Obsidon Medchanoid keeps their 40mm base***
-Big "Human" miniatures (like Ayax or Tarik): 40mm Base
-TAG: keeps their 40mm Base:
Geckos
Sphinx
-TAG: Everyone (except the mentioned before) change to 55mm base.
The new 55mm bases will be included in the references that needs that size of base from May on.

So what does that mean, you ask?
In terms of TAGs, everything that is not the Gecko or Sphinx is on the new 55mm base. Jotums, Dragoes, Guijas, Raichos, Avatars...all on the new base.

Anything that is bolded in that is list has had a change.

I've been conflicted by the omission of the Su Jian. Technically it's a HI so stays on a 40mm despite being a "combat REM".

On one hand it can still use Climbing+ to get places where it shouldn't be on the other I can't disguise Yaoxie as Su Jian anymore. Always wanted to deploy 5 Su Jian on the table...

Obviously as a HI it's a 'standard human' so change to a 25mm base.

**mashguy**

How about models models with the Sapper skill? Do they stay on 40mm bases or go down to 25mm?

**-Loki-**

Considering the Nikaul just released on a 40mm, I'd say 40mm.

**chromedog**

Depends on the model.
Some sappers come with BOTH base (25/40).
So it would depend on the blister. CB have said this themselves.

Otherwise, wait until more info is out for 3rd ed (August). Unless BoW leaks before then.

Thanks. I have yet to base my Zouave hmg. He came with both 25 and 40mm bases

Thanks Kanluwen for posting this up here and saving me the trouble of digging it up on the official board each time I need to reference it
