Base size for our Dark Pegasus?

[Atropos]

I'm building my Supreme Sorceress and Master on Dark Pegasus but I don't know the correct base size for them.
Is it 40mm or 50mm?

Many thanks in advance.

I will just restate an earlier post I wrote.

Many arguments or discussion shall we say have been had on the base size for the Dark pegasus, both sides of the argument are valid, as Morathi on her Peg has been supplied with both sizes in the past, and you are meant to use the size base the model comes on.
Currently she is on a 50x50, but has in the past when she was metal been on a 40x40 and all other pegasi models are on a 40x40. Although you can also argue that is irrelevent as it is a DARK pegasus, hence different profile.
Guess the choice is really up to you. I have settled on an approach that involved magnetising the flying stand, so I have both sizes, if opponents have a strong feeling one way or the other, or GW finally decide that base size should actually be a properly defined measure in the army book, as it can have large in game implications, positive and negative.

Interesting... I built my Morathi on a 50x50 base, but I'm wondering whether I should place my Dark Pegasus Master on a 40x40 base or do the same as I did with Morathi.

[Amboadine]

If you are running two in the same list, then I would suggest you need to keep them both the same.

[Atropos]

Yeah, that's what I thought. It would be weird running two Dark Pegasus in the same list and with different base sizes. Many thanks.

I believe ETC uses the 40x40 base... but I'm mainly judging from the fact that this is the base Marchosias told me to use for our pegasus heroes.
Anyway, it really isn't clear and you should be fine with any of the two. Hopefully.

My first ever dark pegasus (5th ed) came on a cavalry base...

[Atropos]

Nice comments. I finally went for my two Dark Pegasus on 40x40 bases. Cheers!

Around here its usually handled like that aswell. Tournaments let you field em either on a 40 or 50mm base but you have to be constant about it, no mixing of base sizes that is

[Fr0]

I constructed mine on the base it came with; 40x40.

[strategem]

so I am the odd one out here.

I have the Morathi peg glued to a 40mm base to use as a standard lvl 4 and magnatised to a 50mm (which she came with) when I use her as Morathi
My other 3 peg masters/lords are all on 40mm bases

only one person has ever said anything about using different base sizes at a tourney and I just explained that Morathi is now the only peg rider in all of warhammer on a 50mm base and the rest are 40mm and he was cool with that

40mm

In my game tonight my opponent said I needed to get them on to 50 mm bases to be tournament compliant , tbh I'm not really bothered what bases, but I have 3 weeks till my first tourney and don't want to get em painted up and upset people, (murderous prowess rerolls do enough of that already mwwwhahahaha)

[Dalamar]

Find out from the Tournament Organizer if that is the case.

There is a single pegasus currently being sold with a 50mm base, and that is Morathi. She was sold with a 40mm base all the way up until she was released in Finecast.

Pegasi for every single other army (not that many actually, Empire and Bretonnia are there) are on 40mm bases.

[Jvh792]

No kidding? I got her in metal, so I guess I got the 40mm version. Very interesting.

The basic rule book says to use the base supplied with the model. My Morathi is the old metal one. 40mm. But a Tournament Organizer might have house rules that apply. Best thing to do is use the 40mm base ones and take some spare 50mm bases to place underneath if you need to conform to a house rule.

Played a game at a recent tournament where the opponent cast pit of shades on my bolt thrower. I was using an alternate model. I said "Pit of Shades is the one that can deviate, right?" He replied, "Yes but it would deviate off the center of a 50mm base which should be what your bolt thrower should be mounted on." I'm pretty easy going so I didn't argue it. But it should be noted that neither the high elf or dark elf bolt thrower is even supplied with a base. So technically, if the deviation missed the model by a half inch then it misses the model.

[Amboadine]

That is a good point. Is there anywhere where a base size is actually mentioned for our RBT. I do have mine on a 50x50. But should it be, as Gidean states, it doesn't actually come with a base unless that has changed with finecast?

Nope. I bought some High Elf Bolt Throwers straight from Direct Order and they have no bases. Only for the crew who are only wound counters.

[Dalamar]

War machines don't use bases. You use the machine itself for all measurements

[Fr0]

Definitely mount it on the base it came on, but if it's on a 40x40 base it shouldn't be too much for you to use a bit of Blu-tac and fix it atop a 50x50 base. I'd do the same if I were going to a tournament. Definitely check with the TO if unsure.

[Sangfroid]

Waiting on an email response from the TO will keep you posted!

[Melle]

if you by chance use swedish comp, its 40mm.
i have 3 models of morathi, all metall. all came with 40x40.

then again i have 2 of the original dark pegasus, and it came on 25x50
but its 20ish years and no longer accessible.

so, as mentioned above. base on a 40, magnetize to a 50 and base the 'frame' easy enough and should be viable everywhere
