Hey guys, I finally started getting bases for all my scales sorted however 50mmX50mm for the Warmachines are far too slim. My cannon do not fit long ways and only just fits in width ways but then I also cannot fit any crew.

I need a considerably larger base to have a decent amount of crew for a cannon and to actually fit the cannon.

Is there something I am missing?

You can have a larger base so long as you mark the 50mm on the front to measure and take the fire arc from.

You can put the crew to either side of it as window dressing I guess. Or you can have the front base be 50mm wide and have the rest up to 100MM long

Sweet, might do that actually. I cut myself a 50mm and a larger base just in case but marking it sounds like the best idea.

I think I might actually have the 50mm Base at the front with the bigger base on the back for scenic purposes. Maybe have them detachable?

As long as it's clear to your opponent whether it's ignored and decorative in-game or not then that's fine Great idea actually!

I actually just found the rule about making warmachine bases larger, didn't see it the first few times.

The rules already had the answer haha.

I ended up doing this:



Will mark it when it dries off fully.
