I bought 5 Deathriders of fleabay and they came with motorcycle bases. I was under the impression that they were supposed to be mounted on large round bases?
Anyone got some clarity on this?

The set that my father ordered directly from FW arrived with the oval biker style bases as well.

Mine came direct from FW last year with 40mm round bases. It seems to me they fit quite nicely there. I was never much for oval bases anyway.

When FW originally released them, they sent them out with the 40mm round bases, which you will see on the website pictures. Hopwever as cavalry they should be on the bike/cavalry bases, so FW recieved a few complaints and were more or less forced to change it, I think around 6 months ago.
So yes, they should be on the bases you have for gaming purposes.Always thinking 2 projects ahead of anything I've yet to finish

Remember, with the exception of Canis, you can always upsize bases.

You can but it would be in line with the game mechanics...it's like saying I'll put Mephiston on a dreadnaught/terminator base. Originally Posted by Farseer_Orso

Please correct me if I'm wrong
