As I have sixty Heavy Weapons Teams this is no small task.

Option A: Proper re-basing them all would cost $100 (GW Bases are 3 for $5), a new carrying case and many, many hours of work & painting.

Option B: A hundred 60 mm disks from Litko would cost $16, and spraying them green & flocking the lot would take half a day. I would have a bag of loose bases, upon which I would place my existing models - the footprint would be correct, and I could remove the loader to indicate the loss of a wound.

What're your opinions - what do you feel are the, pros & cons of each option? What other options do I have? What's tournament legal? What would you allow in a friendly game? Should I just bite the bullet and spend the time & money to properly re-base them?

There's cheaper plastic bases anyway so for 60 teams(that's a bloody lot) paying GW prices would be....well expensive.

So either 3rd party bases or B.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764848/10178048.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764848/10178048.page GMT Re:A Question on (Re)Basing my Imperial Guard
Last I heard, GW suggests using the size the model was originally packed with, though I can’t confirm as I’m out of date on tournament standards.
The Litko option is fine; current heavy weapons are supplied with 60mm, so the base footprint should be indisputable. Personally, I get OCD about having a consistent beveled edge, but if the straight edge on Litko’s is satisfactory, then more power to you; it would be the least invasive form of rebasing.
