Biovore Base.

[Bot]

So I finally pulled myself together and got two of my Biovores assembled.

But one is from 4th edition and uses the 40mm base. The other is a 5th edition Biovore and comes with a 60mm. However, I just checked on GW website and here the resin version comes with the 40mm base... Or at least, that's how they picture it.

So what base should I use for my Biovores? O_0

They used to have the 40mm bases and that's the one that fits the models size. Then for some reason when the new model came out the gave them a 60mm base. Now it's back to the 40mm base again.

I say use the 40mm bases it's easier to move the models and it dosen't look as stupid . It's the bases I use for my converted biovores

The first biovore model I got was the original one. It came with a square base.

Mine are on square bases... thats just the way I roll....

Really? They are back to 40mm bases on new kits? I will rebase my biovores for that, they are a bit cumbersome and look kinda stupid on 60mm bases.

Typical! Wish GW would specify sizes for models the way other games do!
My Skaven barrage weapon teams (count-as-Biovores) are my pride&joy, on 60mm scenic bases. I'm not changing them now!

[atrocity]

The current ones are on 60mm. At least that's what came with the boxes my buddy just bought.

They look a lot better on 60mm as well.

I use the bases that Pyrovores come on because, y'know, the biovore is completely fugly. If it came with the kit than what else are you to do?

Were those Metal Models?

Anyway, I guess I'll stick with the 40mm for todays Apoc battle. Might change it later.
Jockey said 40mm, but atrocity said 60mm. Gaaaah. D:

Those were new new finecast ones, purchased 2 weeks ago

I've checked them out on the GW site, and the Biovores do come with 60mm bases. It says in the description.

[Lanesend]

You could make a poll for it...... ;D

[coredump]

It doesn't really matter what they come with now... the rules say to use the base they were supplied with... which is why mine are still on square bases.

[infornography]

I think it is perfectly legitimate and in fact preferable to use the currently supplied base rather than the one your model came with. In the interest of fair play I rebased one of my two biovores to match the newer one already. I'm going to wait and see what shakes out, but if they have gone back to 40mm bases, the fact that it is my preference as well as the most current supplied base would be enough to make me swap them both out again.

[forteh]

Mine all came with 40mm squares (2nd ed models) but I will be swapping them onto 40mm round soon. You could probably fit three of my biovores onto a 60mm base!
