Sorry to bother you fine folks with silly questions again but...

What base size are chaos spawn and Beasts of nurgle 40k nowadays?

**Selym**

The one they are packaged with.

**moetle**

ok well, years ago i separated bases from all my unbuilt models for easier storage, moved several times, and have not played 40k in a long time.

Now I have broken my models out, I don't remember what bases they were packaged with. So i was looking for something a little more specific, and helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Try the images on the GW site. Stay roughly in proportion and you'll be fine.

And if that doesn't work, read the product description where they tell you what size base they come with

40mm last time I checked.

Forgot to mention my chaos spawn are the OOP metal ones and I was going to use the forgeworld plague toads to count as beast of nurgle. "Counts as" is still legal right if its GW or FW products? When I used to play GW had a forum and a 1-800 number you could call for rules clarification.

Not all of the descriptions tell you what size base they come with nowadays.

Is there a GW 50mm round base? I have a buttload of 25, 40, and 60's from numerous kits over the years but no 50's.

Yet the two models you asked about do have their base size in their description.

Did you check the online store?

The beast of nurgle is a weird one because the website lists 40mm as the one they came with, but almost all images show them on 60mm bases (which they admittedly look better on).

I actually prefer 50mm for them, but 40 is the one they're suppose to come with, and 60 is the one they're usually depicted with.

Chaos Spawns have been packaged with 40mm but have been shown to be on 50mm in some new art.

@Ghaz True, I did. But I looked up a few more while I was there and some did not say. And no, I didn't even think to look on the store.

@MechaEmperor7000 Thanks. Appreciate you clarifying the different art.

For the record my metal beasts came with 40mm bases.
