So, I am looking at this sisters of battle army.

I would like to move my gals to 30mm instead of the tiny 25mm so I can having them on a more stable base, plus I think it would look cooler.

Are there any issues with this? Either in any rules or gameplay concerns? In many non-gw games, base size is kinda locked down. So I don't want to go base my gals and then have to rebase them. On the seraphim especially, it seems like it would be a good idea to have a bigger base(topple mitigation).

In general, I don't think anyone will have an issue with this. Especially for metal Jump Infantry models. The 32mm bases seem tailor made for Elite models like Marines and top-heavy models like Jump Infanry. I'd go for it on any Jump Infantry Sisters, or even Infantry Characters to make them stand out

Personally, however, I would never EVER base T3 1W infantry on 32mm. 25mm is what those kind of models should be on. Will the exception on their armour, most T3 models are basically Guardsmen. 25mm Is the most appropriate. Can you imagine the footprint a large Astra Militia squad would have if they were all on 32mm bases? Nightmare.
If you based your T3 infantry on 32mm, it would not stop me from playing you nor would it make enough of a difference in game with the small units sizes of Sisters, but I would never base my own models like that.
So again, Characters & Jump Infantry Sister on 32mm? Yes please, they'll look great. 32mm on regular Infantry Sisters? Please don't, but that is just my personal preference

Since GW has no "hard" rule on base size, most Tourneys are fairly relaxed and will only take action in extreme cases. What you are trying to do is far from an extreme case.

Long as not new termies on 25mm or some shenanigans.

Old ones, there on suplied base I metal

32mm seems designed far better for space marines, it stick to 25mm but I doubt anyone would raise too much trouble being on a 30.

Long as nothing silly id say your fine.
Putting metal jump on 32 may save you some headaches

Sweet. I really like 32s on my horus heresy models.

My sisters look great on 32's (if I do say so myself) and allowed for a lot more freedom for scenic basing than 25's did. I'm exceptionally happy with my choice.

do you happen to have any pictures?

I think the gsc acolites are on 32 mm bases. Yep, t3 6+ dudes that cost <10 ppm.

"gsc"? I am unfamiliar with the acronym.
