ok I know I am OCD regarding base but I want to know I can use the same sized base I used for BKC II or is there a big difference in base sizes?

No, you can use whatever you want!

My FWC infantry are on 30mm square bases, commanders on 1 or 2p's, and vehicles unbased (I use them for skirmish as well so deliberately haven't based them).

In my case bases are same size for all 3.

OCD is cureable Grin

All mine based on 30x30 with cdrs/FAO/FAC on 1 or 2p. However if too long have some on 30 x 40 (eldar falcons) & my massive units are on 60 x 60.

just been looking at doing 6k worth of Hunter-Scavenger Mob and saw I needed like 18 bases of Scavengers and six bases of Runts... WTF that is just the bare minimums.

that is one HUGE horde.

Yup - what they lack in finesse, Orks make up for in numbers...

Combined with Mob doctrine it makes them very hard to break!

We base our infantry on 40mm wide by 20mm deep, recce on 2p coins, sinpers on 1p coins, HQs, FAOs and FACs on 40by40, COs on 60by40, armour and LVs on anything from 30mm by 30mm to 60mm by 60mm depending.

So as others have said, it's not overly an issue.

sweet I like both systems as the basing can be what ever you like.

I think I'll keep them the same as BKC II
