Has anyone tried to put the current Deathrattle Skeletons on square bases? What about the Crimson Court Vampires from Warhammer Underworld?

I'd like to use those models for Warhammer 6th edition, so not only they need to fit nicely on square bases, but they need to be on the 20mm. That might be a problem since looking at the models proportions it appears they can fit the 25mm square bases very well, but I have doubts for the 20mm ones. I have no idea about how tall/large are the Crimson Court vampires and on what round bases they currently come with, GW site doesn't specifies that. I'd like to put the Deadwalker Zombies on 20mm but those I'm pretty sure they can fit perfectly.

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance .

The new Soulblight skeletons all have poses that put their feet on or very near the edge of a 25mm base. You probably could fit them on 20mm squares diagonally, but they're not designed for cramped rank and file. I doubt they would look good because they'd end up facing in different directions, and not in chaotic horde way but just completely randomly. More importantly I reckon their weapons and clothes extend so far outward that they simply won't rank up at all if you put them on tiny bases that barely fit them.

I don't have the Crimson Court but I do have last year's Warhammer Day vampire, and people aren't wrong when they say the new Soulblight vampires are freakishly tall*. At a guess I'd say the Crimson Court is on 32mm bases and there is no way you're going to fit the male vampires on a 20mm base. The female one might just about fit since her feet aren't that far apart, but she has very bulky hair and I can't see another model fitting in the rank behind her.


*And not just in the usual, embiggened AoS way. The vampires are tall even for AoS models. I don't have one of my Empire soldiers to hand, but I'd expect them to be two heads shorter than than vampire. So I'm not sure they'd even look particularly good if you put them on the same table as 6th ed models.

A vampire looking taller than skeletons and zombies isn't a problem IMHO, the pose of their feet is a huge one instead. And about skeletons I already feared that they wouldn't fit a regiment on 20mm bases, sadly.

Thanks for the response .
