I'm starting up some Death and Order armies and I have Mortis Engine and some Steam Tanks that were packaged well before AoS and still have their four-edge bases.
Are there any official base sizes for Mortis Engines and Steam Tanks? I'm aware that you are supposed to measure from the model (a tad silly IMO in the case of the Engine) but I would still like their bases to properly represent them.

GW is only switching the bases from square/rectangular to round/oval when they release a battletome featuring that kit. So far, neither the Steam Tank or Mortis Engine have been reboxed yet.

Seems to be a 40K flying base according to the above from the Malignants starter set.
I had an extra laying around and while it feels a bit wide (the Mortis Engine is remarkably narrow) it does the trick.

there are no rules to what type of base to use or size to use. you dont even need to use GW bases.
use what you belive looks best whitin reasonalbe size.
(aka using a 60mm base on a small hero fig not only looks silly but allows more enemy models to be in b2b contant in assult then needed)
