Hey guys, I wanted to check in with a question regarding base sizes. I would like to base up my Dominatrix, Heirophant, and Heirodule. What base sizes would you recommend?

60mm round immediately comes to mind like most titans.

How about the smaller titan and the dominatrix? 40mm?

60mm for the smaller bio-titan and Dominatrix. 80mm for the larger biotitan.

Up to you really though, there are no rules for it, just go with what looks right with the models you have.

I've got my Dom on a 40x60mm. I think it's going to be cut down to a 25 or 30 by 60mm though. The other's will probably be on 40x40mms if they fit, or something bigger if they don't. :P

I pseronally found that 90mm works best for the biotitans with the 60mm for the dominatrix.

I'm pretty sure that the old Dominatrix came on a warhammer cavalry base (24mm x 50mm). If I was going to base mine properly I'd use an oval shape, probably 30mm x 60mm

edit: Dammit, I went googling for pics of Doms, and now I want this: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... ersion.jpg

(blogpost about making it: http://modernsynthesist.blogspot.ca/201 ... odule.html is this epic scale or 40k? Looks way too small to be 40k, but looks too big to be epic as well...)

That's a 40k conversion! Pretty impressive stuff.
