What do u guys think about using bigger bases than normally supplied with the model. I just glued my MegaArmoured Warboss(Ghazghull figure) on a dready base just cause he is Da Big Boss and if im so inclined maybe add a little scenery to the base. Obviously this will get me an extra inch to deploy from the vehicle, but a warboss should have a bigger base than his megaNobz just to show who is in charge What u guys think?  |

I'm personally of the opinion that it's OK to go to a bigger base, just not a smaller one. But that's just my opinion.

yea... it was a rule back in 4th edition that you could mount them on bigger bases, but in 5th they changed it to require opponents permission... so if your planning on using it in the GT, i'd check with jay first.

Seems to me to be modeling for effect.

yet another reason for me to hate 5th edition, I will prolly just put him back on his regular base just to avoid any future complications.

Why not keep the nicely modeled large base, but then give back the extra inch after he is deployed out the vehicle (i.e. either deploy out your normal 2 inches and then subtract 1 inch or just deploy out 1 inch to begin with)? If you told your opponent why you modeled the base that way and how you intend to keep it fair so that you don't gain an advantage from the big base, I think most players would say, sure no problem ... and btw that looks cool.

I would keep him on the standard base just to eliminate any questions or problems. I know you and who you are Terry, and because of that I would know you did it because it looks great but some new opponents might think otherwise because of a bad experience with another player. Keep it simple my friend.
