They dont look goofy on the medium base at all. They look goofy with a plastic rod up their ass. The current models make modeling them on the ground really difficult since they have perfectly straight legs for some dumb reason and fixated L arms. The arms are the easiest to fix but ive never been able to fix the legs without making it worse lol. Fortunately when i ordered my Buffmander model from FW (R'myr) he comes with a normal crisis suit model, and he has his own legs so i had replacement legs for the poor suit i butchered rofl.

I have tons of placement problems with large bases. Going around stubs of terrain is a nightmare and of course bigger base = more models in b2b with melee. I dont think theyre Large bases upon closer inspection (since the commander guy is clearly on a bigger one) but its still much bigger than Mediums. Ughh..

I think I have figured out what the coldstar will be, I cant belive i never thought of it before.
***PURELY SPECULATIVE*** Coldstar will have a simliar close range weapon like the breachers, probably very good at penerating armour. If i had to fathom a guess, I'd imagine almost like a plasma torch on its hands or shoulders, that it can also use for thrust in space, They will rotate if they are his shoudlers so they can then be used to burst into an enemy ship along with a breacher team
***END SPECULATION***
If im right someone owes me a kit =D

That's literally it just standing straight. It would look just as "goofy" on a larger base.

Spoiler:

Sure, it's a deliberately awkward pose for humor value, but yours is almost as bad. A model's feet shouldn't hang off the edge of the base like that.

I don't know, it's worked for years. I have no problem with it.

I'm personally not too fussed by the base change, I just think it's unnecessary, and sort of annoying as I'm going to have to buy small bases or my army won't match.

I have 200 ork models that all have toes off the base. I have 40 or so marines where the edge of the boot is skirting the edge. Feet half hanging off bases is a GW staple. Just like broken clear skimmer stands.

Seriously, feth skimmer stands. They are so wobbly and I keep getting ones where I have to shave down the peg to get it into the base.

It's a staple they are trying to remove with each release, they are already releasing space marines on larger bases.

It's hard to be a ninja on a 40mm medium base and not look goofy. You can have a great pose but them toes hang like crazy.

Only way this one manages to stay on it's base is that it's pinned through the very edge of the foot. 50mm bases are most welcome, plus there's no requirement that you have to upgrade bases on old models. Keep your planned deepstrikers on old bases and use the nice new fat bases for everything else

Just got my Stormsurge, very cool model! I hope they make a Farsight Enclaves version of decals. The current ones in the box are only for Vior'la

But then my army won't match. That will drive me crazy more than anything else.
I'm even still using the old metal head-commanders so that my force looks unified.

somebody has to tinkle

i hate overhanging feet, which is why i put my Space Marine characters on 40mm bases for years before the 32's came out...
i always prefer to go with the next size up for bases...
i welcome the move to 50's for Crisis Suits...

thanks for the good news!!!

cheers

What do you mean they won't match? They're still on round bases. Unless literally everything in your army is mounted on 40mm bases this makes no sense. It's not like sticking a square base model in there.

Well, Farsight is from Vior'la and the color red is pretty prominent in the Farsight Enclaves so it wouldn't really be that odd. If you have units painted in traditional camo you can use the red markings for them and it would still work. Not so much if everything is painted with red armor, though.

All my crisis suits are. And I'd like all my crisis suits to match. Maybe I'm weird, but that's just what I want.

Only model ive ever seen that has a major off the edge problem is the Ta'unar. Quite frankly, im giving him a bigger base when i get one because that one is so bad hes almost not even ON the base lol

Ya don't have use any camo, just the Farsight Enclaves theme that's shown in the supplement and painting guide, so Vior'la red markings wouldn't show =[

If you're that serious about them matching then you should be willing to rebase the ones you have to match the new ones you'll be getting. Rebasing isn't too bad!

Ehh, that's way to much work as apposed to just ordering some small bases. Maybe if these suits aren't too expensive, I'll start a new cadre.

Rebasing really isnt that big a deal =_= or ya know you could just leave it as is... it really doesnt matter

We had 25-to-32mm base adapters within a couple months after the 32s were introduced, and they seem to be extremely well-received. It's not that farfetched to think that we'll see 40-to-50s soon enough

I put my Crisis suits on 50mm bases as soon as they came out with 50mms, and I could find them on eBay for not insane prices.

The correct solution is the snap the tip off and drill the model to have a larger hole. Presto, no problem.

Ok, reading through the two Breacher pages…

Guardian Drones - what, they're just weaker Shield Drones?

For the whole squad. Standard shield drones just have the save themselves and you have to position it in front of the squad to eat the shots. If its dead, the save is gone. The new drone stands in the back and every guy in the squad gets the save. (At least in my understanding^^)

Yeah it's essentially a less-strong shield drone that is more than just a survivable meat shield.

Honestly it's probably better than a shield drone *if the unit has the field-thingies that make the projected save a 5++*

I'm glad you guys like those crisis suits, myself I hoped for a rework I never liked the initial design so these are not appealing to me either. It's a pity FW is so expensive, they have some great designs.

Have we seen anything to indicate that Shield Drones still exist in the new Codex?

Careful now, you're bound to end up as a source on BoLS or another click-bait site soon.

Might be nothing but has anyone else noticed a reference to the Orca Dropship in the White Dwarf Breacher rules. I thought they only had a reference to models they want to produce or are in production due to Chapterhouse.
