Though that is made a little easier as all standard sized space marine infantry is on 32mm now. The theme generally goes – the bigger the model, the bigger the base. Space Marine scouts are another, and I have even put mine on 32mm bases already. Speaking from a tactical point, warpsmiths are already getting that 2+save as they have fleshmetal armour like obliterators.

So this is where the questions start to arise. Every new release for the Death Guard has seen single character models supplied with a 40mm base. The same can also be applied across other armies too.

Warpsmiths tend to be obsessive and believe that mankind's destiny is limited by his mortal nature, and thus they see combining the power of Daemons with the mechanical and organic as the answer to circumvent this problem.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar ase Sizes 2 BASE SIZES – CHAOS BEASTS OF CHAOS UNIT BASE SIZE Beastlord 32mm Bestigors 32mm Bullgors 50mm Centigors 60 x 35mm Chaos Gargant 90 x 52mm Chaos Warhounds 60 x 35mm Chimera 120 x 92mm Cockatrice 60mm Cygor 120 x 92mm Doombull 50mm Dragon Ogor Shaggoth 90 x 52mm Dragon Ogors 90 x 52mm Ghorgon 120 x 92mm Gors 32mm … In my opinion, to coincide with the new changes in 8th, I think it would be good if infantry characters were bumped up a single base size (to a maximum of 40mm), as they are with the Primaris Marines. So all of the Warpsmiths are now finished, the last two being the old metal figures that I converted. Morkmillian. This would be great to go along side the release of the new rules, and it does slightly feel like a missed opportunity. 661. Sometime after starting here are the first three of the five warpsmiths, Couple of the vehicles these characters are maintaining form the backdrop, I like the servo skull concept so wanted to add at least one in, Some great details on the casting to pick out, Then we get into something a bit more raw, Shoulder pad and other parts out of the bits box, May add some weathering on this character to darken it up in future. The Smith is the cheapest way to get 5 guaranteed power axe attacks as the Lord needs to take a Mark, Steed, … For example, terminators, or characters in terminator armour, are on 40mm bases. As it stands, most infantry models across an army use the same size base. This has changed slightly with the Primaris Marines, and it seems like it may be more of an 8th edition thing, rather than relating to the size of the model.

Many of them are loosely allied with the Dark Mechanicus.

Lots of nice features to pick out on these troops. Warpsmiths (not to be confused with Warsmiths) are basically Chaos Techmarines, introduced in 6th edition.Many of them are loosely allied with the Dark Mechanicus.Unlike Techmarines (who revere technology), Warpsmiths attempt to subjugate it.

Genestealers and Ork boyz are among two of the main units I think need to be on 32mm bases. Added some resin bases for a bit of extra detail. This, along with the character keyword, are the common denominators between the lieutenants and ancient, and having a 40mm base. Morkmillian. Finally, while we’re on the subject of base sizes, I think an FAQ would also be a great time to update the base size of some units. This is the chronicle of the 19th Company of the Night Lords Chapter. Finished Warpsmiths Part 3. 661. Some Warpsmiths are little more than a brain and a spinal cord wired into a metallic approximation of a Chaos Space Marine; pincer limbs, Mechadendrites and fusion claws sprout from the Warpsmith's altered form next to Melta crucibles and searing welder blades. I’m sure a lot of people would like clarity and some sort of standard when it comes to base sizes across their army. I’ve been keeping track of these base sizes for a while now, and while it appeared at first that the Death Guard were not following suit by having their characters on 40mm bases, it now turns out they are! For example, Commissars and Farseers would be on 32mm bases and not 25. Tarrasq wrote: Actually the warpsmith has one more attack than the Lord as the tendrils give +2 attacks. Captains, company ancients, champions, and apothecary’s will also be separated out with 40mm bases. So as long as there is no modelling for advantage or something silly going on, we should be okay to use what we see fit. While in itself, isn’t a big deal, it has opened up a wider range of questions across the board. Quite enjoyed painting them up and tried to make each unique.

Genestealers and Ork boyz are among two of the main units I think need to be on 32mm bases. Which will likely be their former units in most cases. Unlike Warsmiths (who, per Iron Warriors tradition, replace mutations with bionics), Warpsmiths have bionics from being actual Techmarines. Finished up this rogue Tech Marine adding a further Warpsmith to the ranks. The second of the two had a very different pose and I thought adding the skull under foot was a nice additional touch.

Personally, I’m only going to change base sizes when it comes to things like models being supplied with an older size base (I bought Lemartes recently and he came with a 25mm base which I replaced with a 32mm), or if a models feet hang over the edge. The only issue is base size as fleshmetal is an upgrade the model will still be on a 32mm though personally as a player I wouldn't have a problem against warpsmith on a slightly bigger base.

They are also masters of fusing the daemonic and the physical, which, in layman's terms, means they inject Chaos into all their warmachines. It’ll make it easier not to miss, or forget about characters, and that they are not part of a nearby unit. In the past, I would have expected models like lieutenants and ancients to be on 32mm bases, like their Mk. Lots of nice features to pick out on these troops. Though I would suggest sticking to what’s supplied with models (for the most part) to avoid any needless discussions about it at games and events etc. (I have left out the Inceptor squad as their armour is much larger and they are on 40mm bases.). Added some resin bases for a bit of extra detail. Because of this, all Warpsmiths are engaged in an eternal quest to combine the strengths of all three of these elements -- mortal, daemon and machine -- whilst eradicating their weaknesses. Here’s what’s heading for paint, Not sure what this marine was but he has a big power axe so that’s a box ticked…. Since I’ve started building the Primaris Space Marines in the Dark Imperium box, I’ve noticed a little change in base sizes used between the models. The same would apply to characters such as librarians and chaplains. It seems like it’s more to do with 8th edition due the the rules change and keyword factor, however, this only appears to be in place for the Primaris Marines, as the Death Guard units do not follow the same pattern. Now, with the changes in 8th edition, we see these models become more independent on the battlefield as they are no longer part of a unit, or able to join one.


The games moved on with the advent of warpsmiths so I decided to focus on reimagining these characters: In thinking about these conversions I found that Anvil Industries make a few nice additions in the form of exosuits with various mechanical arms. The only models with a 32mm base were Plague Marines, to be added to units.

Space Marine scouts are another, and I have even put mine on 32mm bases already. Even if you say bases sizes don’t really matter, as long as they represent the model and are an acceptable size. Something along those lines anyway.

I may come back to this one at a later point and do some more finishing off.

The lieutenants and ancient however, are the same size as the regular infantry models, such as the Intercessors and Hellblasters, but have 40mm bases like the captain. Post Feb 18, 2014 #3 2014-02-18T21:37. I carried over some of the yellow detailing on the mechadentrite tentacles to tie these two figures together. The 19th Company of the Night Lords has a fair bit of heavy support and armour to keep rolling so I’ve always had a few specialist marines keeping things oiled and to weld stuff back together when it gets trashed. ( Log Out /  So if it’s an old space marine librarian for example, I’d put him on a 32mm and not a 25.

So, if you’re listening GW, please consider it. The Skull Reapers were known for their savagery long before they were swayed by blood lust of Khorne.
