So i was wonder where does it say a model has to be attached on a base in a specific way? i know you have to put them on the base provided but no where can i find where it needs to be X wide in the front.

Here is my example.
I have a cauldron of blood (the old style) and am putting it on the new base 60x100
can i put it so the 100 side is on the front and the 60 is its flank?

same could be said for the demigryphs or skullcrushers.

dont get me wrong, i dont think it should be allowed but there are people who's philosophy is "it doesnt say i can't so.....". i just would like a clear cut ruling somewhere. if not i need to add it to the NOVA Primer]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592284/6771031.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592284/6771031.page GMT Models on bases proper facing http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592284/6771731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592284/6771731.page GMT Models on bases proper facing

This was actually FAQ'd, to say that it was indeed allowed. Just a damn shame the FAQs aren't up on the website anymore.

I think this question however actualy has legs, there is not specified mounting of individual models on the bases that are provided, most are on equal sized bases so it wouldn't matter, others can only fit on those bases in one way (cavalry and chariots) but the bigger based stuff, like the hell canon can fit in either direction.

I can't believe I have to say this, but page five of the brb tells you about arcs and which way a model faces on a base. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592284/6807041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592284/6807041.page GMT Models on bases proper facing

then I suspect you missed my point.

p5 says nothing about how you construct a model only about how a unit's faces are taken into account during the course of a game.

there is nothing in the BRB that tells you how you should mount your models on their bases, I'll stick with my hell canon example:



OR




which one is illegal as far as the BRB is concerned?

neither, both are valid, one has a much wider frontage than the other but both are considered acceptable.

But then there is the further issue after construction: determining which side of the physical model is the 'front'. The 'front' of the model is an artificial term and not dictated by the physical construction. Whilst the 'front' of the model is explained as a term with consequences, it is never stated how you determine which side of the physical model is the front.

That's just an issue with GW rules, they don't really expect you to look into this so much as discuss it with your opponent beforehand, making the player do the legwork instead of the writers.

Some may say that players don't need hand-holding rules to play, but this can have serious consequences game-to-game in different environments if all of your opponents do not come to the same agreement.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592284/7007158.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592284/7007158.page GMT
