Just want to confirm base size for Dark Unicorn sorceress

Post by Barn Owl »

Sorry for the silly question--googling and searching this board bring up surprisingly little. I just want to confirm the current legal base size for a dark elf unicorn riding sorceress. I would assume it's 50mm like Morathi, but google images brings up a lot of standard cavalry base sizes (I assume illegal, or outdated) and I feel like I read you must use Monstrous Cavalry bases now (50mm x 75mm).

I have an AWESOME idea for a larger base size, and a good backup design for a smaller one :) I'll post pics once it's all set up!

I'm fairly certain that the current size for the dark peg model is a 50mm x 50mm base. I guess there might not be too many concerns if you decided to make it a little bigger, all that you would be doing is harming yourself game-wise. But I'm not really sure about the legality of changing base size for tournaments etc, so maybe someone else can help there??

I would say 25x50mm cav base - but that assumption is based on no rules I have seen only the unicorn model on the GW website

the pegasus on that site is on a 40mm square base - I wonder if that is the new go-to?

Only Dark Elf pegasus, being Morathi model, comes supplied with a 40x40mm base.

This makes it the best reference for base size for our pegasus.

Thank you everyone for your help! I figured Morathi would be the way to go, and it's large enough to (hopefully) fit my plans for the base. If not I guess I can elevate the display a bit. Thanks again!
