Hi - Has anyone fitted a plastic base to their SM ATV if so what size and shape? not sure how if at all would affect rules measuring to the vehicle - just completed my first model - TIA

Here's my converted one on base. I can't remember what size it is exactly, but its the fairly large oval one that I think came with a Tyranid Trygon.

Adding a base to it shouldn't have any effect rules-wise concerning shooting or being in/out of effects ranges.

It WILL affect melee/engagement/charge range.

It will, depending upon terrain, affect how you can position/move the model on the table.

I put mine on a hundred millimeter base. It only extendeds a little on the front and back but has a good amount on both sides

Thanks everyone - yes terrain could be difficult - thats why i was thinking of an oval base to reduce the width - need to check what sizes are available.

Go for it, its pretty easy! Main thing sticking the wheels together on the front, but I also snipped off and angled downwards the rear wheel mounts to give it a bit of ground clearance

OK thanks for the tips looks really good love real life trikes

Anyone playing these beauties at the competitive level?
I'm asking because this unit is not core, while attack bikes are.
