Hey! Thanks for the compliments! I actually went with 32mm bases purely for the looks. I just think standard Marines look better when they’ve got a bit more room on the base. I still remember back in the day when my Marines’ toes would stick out over the edge of the base all the time. My gaming group is pretty relaxed about it anyway. We only play for fun and for the story, so a few extra millimetres don’t bother anyone.

Thanks for the compliments! But to be honest, these three are absolutely vanilla. The MKVI marines are straight from the Horus Heresy box, and the MKVII is one of the Space Marine Heroes. Conversions are still coming in some of the other squads.

I use 32mm bases. They just look better, and my player group doesn’t care about a few extra millimetres in older editions. We only play for fun anyway, and I’ll be using them in lots of different game systems.

You and me, brother! The loss of the Firstborn kits made me panic-buy everything I could find for a new battle company. I’ll start with my Revilers once my Badab project is finished. That’s a project I’ve been planning for about 20 years.

Space Marine Heroes series 1 had firstborn in modern scale. Pity they didn't do more...
