hormagaunt and termagant bases

[peacemaker]

I can't stand the 25mm bases for hormagaunts. They are so outstretched it looks silly.

I would like to use bigger bases but not sure. 32mm are too round. Is there a way to get 25x40mm bases?
Probably use those of termagants as well.

Making your own.

Edit: my comment sounded more rude than I intended, I think. I make my own bases but you could go to a plastics shop and tell them what it is you want an they'll do it for you also. I've never had an issue with the 25mm bases, but it's up to your preference.

A lot of bases are not designed for tyranids, you can tell due to the fact that darn near everything leans way too over them. i mean they just started making 50mm by 75mm or something like that. So I see no reaon why you cannot use a different size base, especially if it fits your model better. I personally am giving characters larger bases to make them look more impressive, like putting characters on 32mm instead of 25mm so it's not as crowded and even more obvious which one is the character. There are lots of sites out there that make bases and you might be able to find something more appropriate, if not you could always cut a base into a better shape for a hormagaunt, maybe something like 20-25mm by 32mm and mold it to make a whole bunch. It's not a bad idea because it'll solve them whole them falling over issue, and you cannot move your base further in a direction if you turn so it's not going to give you any sort of advantage.

I think I'm going to just angle the hormagaunts upwards on their 25mm rounds.
The termagants I guess I can live with on the 25mm rounds because they can squeeze close together. Maybe I'll trim some tails and angle them as well.

Bases are kinda expensive for ones that look good. And making my own is too annoying.

While I'm not one to care too much about gameplay, hormagaunts on bigger bases really makes them bad.
