My issue with this is the Ravenwing darkshroud. It has an aura effect of 6" but the model is far bigger than it's base, so this really comes down to about a 4-5" aura. I'm going to use an oval large base that matches the model more as it just doesn't seem right on the tiny clear circular base. The aura really should measure from the hull.

IOW, textbook MFA. Why do you think that this is an acceptable thing to do?

If Bullyboy hadn't told the aura story and most people saw it they wouldn't think twice about it.

But he did tell the story, and that's all there is to it. He's explicitly increasing the size of the model's base because he wants a larger area for the AoE buff, which is textbook MFA and cheating. And even if it was done for purely aesthetic reasons I would expect to measure range from the original base dimensions and not take advantage of the larger base size.
