Anyone that has painted Orks know that all Nobz's feet usually hang outside the base. To avoid this issue I've been thinking about putting all my nNobz on 32mm bases. I know it isn't very legal, but how did you guys do your Nob bases?

I wouldn't have any problems with it. I actually want to replace all of my 25mm bases with 32mm. I think the only ones I want to keep on 25mm would be spore mines and gretchin.

Replacing regular ork bases with 32mm doesnt seem like a great idea, and it would definitely be a bit of a hindrance as you will be able to get less orks in a given combat.

Aren't gretchin on even smaller bases?


For nobz it seems legit though

Gretchin are on 25mm.

It would be a good idea.
When I got my lootaz (and this was before I knew about 32mm bases), two of them (and maybe the mek-don't have them with me right now) had part of their feet hanging off the base.
I thought about putting them on 40mm bases, but I just kept them on 25mm in the end.
GW should just move everything on a 25mm base to a 32mm base and ditch the 25mm bases.

Except for small creatures that fit well on 25mm bases.

Yes, please. And if anything, there should be a smaller base size for grots and like sized units.

Funny how the 32mm base gets all the attention, meanwhile the 50mm and small monster bases that came out n the same set did not.

I wish I had put my orks on 32mm bases, I was thinking about putting my Space Marines on them, but I felt like the base was too big.

That said, I put my Nobs on 40mm bases a few weeks before I knew about 32mm, which would have been much nicer.

I also talked with GW and they told me I could put my nobs on any size base I wanted.

I agree. I got two carnifexes on the old base and two on the new one. I would like to have them all on the new base.
