The Nephilim Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hey guys. Bit of a quandary here. The new Deathwatch bikers on are on the 75mm oval bases, right? Are all bikers going to be going to this base size? Link provided. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Deathwatch-Bikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toaae Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Would seem like a safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemonifugue Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I bought a box of csm bikers three days ago in GW and they were on the pill bases, not ovals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The CSM Bikes and the generic Space Marine Bikes didn't get repackaged so that's not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan the Lurker Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Dragon Forge Design has a nice selection of 75mm ovals: http://www.dragonforge.com/Painting%20service/for%20sale/store%20directory/round_base_sets.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 You can buy packs of ovals from GW. The ovals are way nicer than the pill-type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think the ovals look a lot better. The old bases are just too small to do anything dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winds Of Fury Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I can confirm that they are indeed the 75mm base. So far all older bikes kits are still on the 25x70mm "pill" bases. If you looking for upgrading your old army I recommend looking for the Mixed Bases Pack 1. It contains 5x 75mm ovals and 20x 32mm round bases. Also include 3x 50mm round bases. All this at a about half the price of what you would pay if you bought the same bases individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allfatherstudios Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Looks great. However I hate how little effort they put on the models base.. cat litter from 'eavy metal team seems lazy. Anyone else notice them slipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else notice them slipping? I believe there are two paint groups now, the army painters and the eavy metal team. The army painters do a much lower quality job (although still better than most) and cut some corners. Namely things like white paint + glaze = eye lenses instead of actually painting the reflection.

This has made several things make sense now. Thank you for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
