All that means is that someone put them on round bases. It might be an indication of rules changes or just someone who prefers the bases. A picture in White Dwarf is not confirmation of rumor without the text explaining it.

so

1) its the WD official pictures, those are studio models
2) they are unplayable in the current game on round bases

Are they playing a game? I'm sorry but I thought it was an add for a miniature? I didn't realize the photo captured models in use. Display models and adverts can capture models on whatever base they want. It could be on a trapezoid or a rhombus if they wanted.

Because official pictures never have conversions in them? You've been involved with GW long enough to know the answer to that...

I'm not saying you are wrong... only saying that a single photo, with the models in question appearing in the background, does not verify that the rumors floating around the internet are true.

hey man, you can think up all the random and unlikely or plausible reasons for a studio fantasy model to have a round base that you want. But that doesn't change the fact that the likely scenario is that this is significant evidence of changes to the game.

Have you ever been to Warhammer World and looked at the display cases? While many of those armies are considered playable they have many examples of 40k models on square bases and Fantasy models on round bases. Or at least they did when I was there a few years back.

How is my explanation any less plausible than yours? Your scenario isn't more likely because of a single photo and rumors from the internet.

Certainly interesting.

Rumours seem to suggest (well, reliable ones) that round bases may be for a more skirmish version of the rules, and that 8th Ed will remain.

Hmm.

Round bases =/= the end of Warhammer Fantasy

Look more closely, only the war machines are on round bases the beasties on a square base

[daboarder]

Why are we discussing bases in a thread about fluff?

Because I screwed up and got a little post happy, if one of the mods would like to move or delete the posts it would be appreciated
