![]() This was brought up in one of the comments below and I remembered seeing this model the other day. I don't want to know about it.Īpparently some of the new Vampire Counts models (in this case, the Wight King) are partially attached to their bases. If anyone has one of the Basilisk models and it does come separate from the rock outcropping, please don't tell me. How am I going to do silly things like this if I have to cut away the attached basing theme beforehand? ![]() Otherwise we have a blank canvas to work with so that our new centerpiece monster blends in perfectly with the rest of our force. Maybe include the base elements as extra that we can use if we want and it fits into our existing theme. I just wish they weren't permanently fixed to them. I appreciate the manufacturers giving us a little bit extra to put our models on. This can be as much work as trying to get him separated from any little element he might have come attached to in the beginning. I ended up building one to create the whole theme of the army. He had a square one, but that wasn't going to help me. This guy (Forge World Bloodthirster) doesn't even come with a round base. It could be worse I suppose with no base providedĮven though I'm complaining about models being attached to their basing elements and having to surgically remove them if it's even possible, there are models that don't come with bases and you're forced to build your own (or try the resin route if you can find something big enough). As long as your monster doesn't already come attached to his terrain. This makes it super easy to match our larger models to our smaller ones and keep our basing theme consistent. Resin base manufacturers have gotten really good about providing us players with larger bases that are themed to match the smaller ones. In this case, all I did was use the standard base and add a smaller element on top of that to fit in with my friend's existing basing theme. You can put them on a blank base with nothing more than some sand or you can go all out and use the one they come with and add elements as you wish. You can replace the standard base with anything under the sun in terms of resin or you can make your own just as easy. ![]() These are the perfect size and they don't come "attached" to their base theme. I was lucky that it only took a little bit of cutting to get him removed from the rocks so I could turn him around and use the base in another way. The dragon started out perched on the rocks. Sometimes you get lucky like I did with this model I did a long time ago. Maybe if we're lucky, the model can be extracted from the element in question and we can build our own piece to set our monster on top of relatively easily. I'm betting most of us are going to do our best to find a way to incorporate it into our existing theme. If the model is attached to the basing element, you're left facing lots of work to change it. It's a nice feature in most cases, but what happens when it's not what you want to use? What if you've established a nice, solid basing theme and "rocks" just don't fit in with it? Lots of times, it seems like larger models (like this beauty) come with a little bit added to their standard base. The trouble is, what if I don't want him on those rocks? I don't know how effective it is on the table, but it would be worth fielding just to look at it. I don't play Fantasy, but I love this model. Forge World's new Basilisk model is gorgeous.
