I was wondering how everyone bases their Lictors. Mine are based individually each on a penny. However I have 13 of the wee beasties, three more than the maximum the army list allows. What more I'm planning on acquiring more gaunts and stealers (I only have 36 and 8 respectively), which means getting more Lictors and warriors. More warriors are fine; you can never have too many synapse creatures.
However I'll end up with a couple of dozen lictors, so I'm planning on basing them 2 or 3 per base, and using 2p peaces.
So I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with too many Lictors (or is it just me?). If so, do we need to look at their stats and points cost, so that they represent a Lictor brood, rather than a single Lictor.

I already have too many Lictors and I bought Breten's Nids from him, so I have ~11 more on the way. I expect them to be conversion fodder and I plan to pose the ones I use for Lictors.

Well, I think you should use them for conversions, or give them to me so I can use them for conversions.
I was thinking that their scythes would be useful if you wanted to convert a carnifex to the new style.

I was actually thinking of using them to convert 3D warriors.
I've converted new style carnies already, as can be seen by my Avatar and here is a new style screamer killer. ?I've also got a half finished sniperfex with two venom cannonsa and a half finished something fex with scything talons and devourers.

I'll probably go for two per base.
New question, has anyone ever garrisoned their Lictors?
With a 30cm charge they could do nasty things to a badly placed enemy garrison, especially with their FS MW attacks. It could also confuse the opponent seeing them on the table from the start, rather than teleporting in.

One each on 20mm warhammer bases. ?This was long before I got a glut of old 20mm epic bases on ebay. ?Or I would've used them, see?
Eric: the poker chip looks good as a base. ?What diameter is it? ?25-30mm? ?I might hunt around some shops here in Blighty, see if I can find any.
