Bio titan base

[alphafex]

Heey Hive,

Im receiving my bio titan in about 1 week and i want to knoe what size of base i should go with to add to the big guy.

I can really find a post about whats the best size for the big bug guy, so i hope u guys can help me.

that's a good question, though i don't have a titan yet, you might need to get the base from forgeworld separably but if that's not the case you either have to get it from a 3rd party or make one on your own

Could the biotitan go without a base? I'd imagine if it had one it would be really easy to have wobbly model issues due to the size of the base.

indeed, i say you could specify what counts as in range for anyone shooting at it when playing with buddies

The problem with the hierophant is that its the same as other titans, none of them have bases sadly.

And they're generally all still modeled with bases. These are resin models and are expensive, heavy, and fragile. The heirophant has notoriously spindly legs. You will need to make a base for it and anchor those legs.

I don't have a base for mine. I have a "hanger" that suspends it in the air so it doesn't constantly weigh on its feet. On the table I prefer playing it without a base because of how impossible the thing is to move about if there is any terrain.

Well I guess if you're going to hang it in dry dock that works too, but you're one nudge or bump away from tragedy there.

I've got mine mounted on a 30cm diameter cake tray.


Depending on how splayed out you've attached the legs, you could go with a larger base, but I think this is about right.
Gotta finish it off someday soon...

very nice and appropriate giving how all 40k models use round bases

It's actually really stable. The rod iserts in a hole that could be used to mount it to a base, so it's only that way in my display case. On the table she stands on her own legs, it's much easier to play that way. Otherwise your base is the biggest thing on the table. I've never seen one the sits on it's legs all the time that didn't eventually have the legs bow from the weight unless you to major pinning. I am too timid to try that much hacking and cutting to insert the pins.
