Basing my 6mm Epic 40k Vehicles

[sean_68333]

I have been working on adding bases to my 6mm Epic 40K vehicles.  I am currently working on Space Marines so they get the bases first.  I like how they turned out.

You can see more pictures and the details at my blog.  http://gamingandshooting.blogspot.com/2014/07/adding-bases-to-my-epic-40k-space.html

I am using metal bases with wood glue to hold the talus on.



Here is the finished product.



What do you think?  Do you base your 6mm vehicles?

It look great... may I ask where you got those metal bases and how big they are?

The Predators look good. I am working on a 6mm Heresy era force and I am on the fence about basing vehicles. I prefer the look of no base for vehicles as they look great on any terrain. On the other hand the advantage of a base is it help protect the vehicle a bit plus you can use a magnet under the base which helps with transporting.

Transportation was the primary reason I chose to base these.  For this scale, it makes sense.  

The bases came from http://www.wargameaccessories.com/.  These are 25mm x 25mm.  I've used their bases for several projects and I like them.  The prices are reasonable and they come in lots of different sizes.

I base mine! But I prefer round bases...

My command teams will be based on round bases.  I like the square and rectangular bases for this scale.

I do like basing vehicles, although I understand the reasons put forth by those that don't base them.

One advantage of the square/rectangular bases in particular though, is that you can easily determine front/side/rear strikes if your ruleset has bonuses for armour penetration or such (the old Epic 2E rules did for example).
