Necron Troops Base Size

[Ordo Septenarius]

Several friends said that current Necron troops base size is 32mm, but the current box set comes with 25mm.

What is the current "Correct" base size? I have hundreds of both sizes, so I just need to know which to use.

Its upto you - GW staff are giving out free packs of the 32mm bases alongside necron box set purchases until the repacks hit the shelves

It is also supplied with four 40mm round bases, three small flying bases, and thirty-nine 25mm round bases and forty 32mm round bases to give you the choice of how you want to base your miniatures.

So... yeah. It's officially in writing on the GW site: you have a choice. Anyone and everyone who wants there to be an official ruling one way or the other so they can declare armies tournament legal or not tournament legal can stick their fingers in their ears and sing "la la la la," and while they're distracted the rest of us can sneak up behind them and hang insulting signs on their backs.

So can I use this to get people to stop moaning about me not having gotten around to rebasing all my old Terminators?

You mean you haven't used it yet?

Have they converted their Tactical/Assault/Sternguard/Vanguard/Devastator Marines to 32mm, yet?

[The Vanus Temple]

Up to you! I've based (and rebasing) all of mine onto 32mm as they look loads better. I'm the reason they're always out of stock online bought 150 of them so far...

[Erik Setzer]

The funny thing is, one of the biggest reasons for moving Terminators to 40mm bases wasn't so much "dynamic models" or anything like that, it was the same reason they were errata'd to have 5+ inv. saves in White Dwarf: Plasma cannons would murder entire squads in early 3rd edition after they'd Deep Strike in. 40mm bases made it harder to kill them all. And then allowed bigger models, too. But my 25mm bases aren't exactly a benefit to me.

Probably will change them anyway, just because some of my Terminators have them and some don't, inside the same army, and that just looks weird.

[Katharon]

They should have kept only Space Marines to the enlarged 32mm bases. It's appropriate since it fits their size image. Giving it out to everyone is stupid. If they try doing it to Imperial Guard, I'll flip them off out of necessity.

[Mr Mystery]

Does make some sense for Necron Warriors - as their feet currently stick out over the edge of the base.

Because for some reason being asleep for sixty millions years means everyone woke up dreaming about straddling an imaginary horse or something...
