What base size is correct for your average Marine? Does it change for Praetors etc?

Sorry if this thread seems lazy, I have follow up questions but I gotta ask this first.

32 mm. You can give your Praetor a bigger base if you really want to, especially if it's really scenic.

Also, no one is going to care as long as you're being realistic with the size. 30k is all about narrative play.

Standard power armour looks better on 32mm bases (and the Assault Marines don't fall over so much) but a lot of the resin models are old enough that they fit fine on 25mm bases if you really want to. The 40mm-based power-armour officers are a Primaris thing, Forge World still designs their power-armoured characters for 32mm bases.

I was definitely hoping to use 32mm army wide for infantry, so sounds like that will be fine. Terminators are on 40's though right?

I'm using 32mm for infantry, 40mm terminators and 40mm for characters and Praetors
