Today I saw the new Necron Lord model and it's base, can anyone confirm what size his base is, I attempted to size his base by using a bag of different sized bases, I assumed it was a new 32mm but it may be a 40mm base, because 40mm and 25 mm were the only round bases in that bag.

I would prefer the 32mm so they don't tip over so easy.

Indeed. And, with Warriors, you will notice that it's not just an "old model" issue, either. The brand new Harlequins are 25mm bases. Frankly, I think the rule GW is using is, what base looks best for the model. I think some discretion is appropriate too. For instance, I recently rebased my Dante onto 32mm, even though he doesn't sell that way, because all other jump units (like Death Company) are 32mm, and Dante looks stupid with a small base mixed in with guys with bigger bases.

I was a bit resistant when they announced, but I kind of like it now, as the bulky models don't tip over on 32mm, and they just plain look a lot better. Plasma templates be damned!

BTW Necron Warriors, DE Kabalites, and Eldar Guardians would likewise look bad on 32mm, as they wouldn't occupy enough of the base.

another important note from the GW website (from the reclamation legion box):

"It is also supplied with four 40mm round bases, three small flying bases, and thirty-nine 25mm round bases and forty 32mm round bases to give you the choice of how you want to base your miniatures. "

base what you think you like.

I have to say, I think the 32 would look better....however, for storage and transport, I will be sticking with my 25mm.
