New Carnifex oval base: where to find it?

[misterdutch]

Hi, I am relatively new to playing Tyranids, and as such, I do not have any carnifexes yet. That is, until a while ago when I started my tyranid army by buying Deathstorm. This contains a Carnifex on a very cool looking oval base which is 105mm along it's longest side. I am likely to buy more carnifexes in the future but unlikely to get all of them from Deathstorm. So where do I get more oval bases? I don't see them on the games workshop webshop.

The magic of ebay will guide you my son.

The "Oval" base is for the Unique Character, "the Beast of Phodia". The normal carnifex still comes on the standard 60mm base. If you want to model your FEX on the oval, then eBay is your friend. Otherwise, you can just put them on the 60mm that come stock. I am putting my Old One Eye on the Oval base, instead of making a "Beast of Phodia"

I too am in the same boat with the same idea. I bought Deathstorm for myself and got a fex brood box for xmas.

Since I haven't found more of the oval bases, I figured that I would magnetize this fex to make both Old one Eye and the beast of Phoedia.

In all reality... You should magnetize ALL of your Tyranid MCs to save on money and give you more options.

I have 10 well painted Carnifex from 4th edition that are all Glued and now I'm regretting it.

Oh I plan on it. It's just that at first I wasn't going to magnetize the Deathstorm box since they have fixed options.

To go back to the topic of bases though, I did buy 50mm bases for my other warrior brood that came with 40mm. Both Deathstorm and Wrath of the hive mind have 50mm bases for the warriors. So at least those will all be on identical size bases.

I'm waiting to see if there is an upgrade to the standard Warrior box 50 mm before I build anymore Warriors

I have 7 fexen from deathstorm. I want 60mm
