I am currently rebasing my army over to 32mm bases. Anyone else doing this? I think the 32mm bases look a lot better. It make each figure a mini-diorama

oh i am sure you are just doing it for paint scores, it couldnt have anything to do with board control
Hey, I'm trying to start a positive hobby thread and you have to go all Period Brian. I don't need this kind of negativity! Shouldn't you be practicing re-rolling 1s or something?Quote:

Doesn't someone make those rings you can add to them to make em 32mm?Quote:

I've heard those work well. But, you still have to match the basing material and paint.
Im a big fan of the big bases. I'll be doing my heresy army on them, even though I have to rebase a heavy weapon squad.
I am going to do this, but to be honest it's just for board control and has nothing to do with appearance
Your time away from the game must of been beneath a bridge...Quote:

I'll bet it's "special"
oh did i mention its my guard blob. im sure noone would object. i plan to create a tiny diorama on every model to cloak my secret desire to control more of the board with the same models as before.
I think you should put each guardsman on an old AOL disc. You could make quite a diorama on one of those....and your board control would be the boss.Quote:

I'm building my marine army with almost entirely 32 mm bases. The Scouts may be an exception. However 25 mm looks small, and some models are even overstepping the base!
I'm rebasing my whole SW army in the hopes that one day I will be able to play Blood Claws and Grey Hunters again....someday.
You can, but...Quote:

I wouldn't say they were OP. But, they are still very strong.Quote:

Outside of scatterbikes+wraithknights any army but chaos should hold their own against it.
I know most people playing against eldar get flustered by all their special crazy rules, and when you don't know beforehand their crazy shenanigans its gonna look broken. But once you understand that almost the entire army has an effective range of 12" and is a 20+ point T3 space marine... You can really work around that.
I think the new Eldar updates will help.Quote:

The new Doom Weaver style Wraithknight is also particularly nasty against White Scar biker spam, and any sort of marine player running a good amount of troops (drop pod armies).
We will see.
Wraithknights explode to Drop Grav. (grav cents or skyhammer etc). Also scouting grav is nasty too. Against any other army he is insanely OP thoughQuote:

They honestly don't need to buff Eldar at all. In fact they need to nerf wraithknights and scatbikes and the codex would be almost a perfect example of what every codex should be. Everything is viable and has their own unique rules that make them feel like they do in the fluff.
The FW is not going to make the Eldar better. There might be some gems in there but for the most part everything is just more expensive and not as good. it will be fun to mess around with but codex eldar just seem cheaper across the board. Kinda like how everytime you look at Harlequins you think, "I could get the same thing in an eldar army cheaper and better..."
With the doom of mymerra reworked, Lynxs are 250 points, no longer a supet heavy, av 12, 5 hp, 2 different fire modes for pulsar, and can snap fire in zoom mode.
