annoyingly there's absolutely no hard and fast guidelines on bases sizes (which I really think there should be!)

[Garzini]

I mean, how hard would it be for GW to put a base size in the army books, and on their website under the description of the mini ?

gw? common sense? ha ha ha ha ha!

They used to have a base size chart for 6th edition on the website, but that probably disappeared a few years back.

What kind of unreasonable player would moan about the base size used on my Harpies, that reminds must start going to some tournaments this year! 

[Undead Dan]

You dare to use the wrong base size against me and I will hunt down you and all your future children

Actually most people at tournaments are quite reasonable, and who cares what the unreasonable ones think anyway

It's not really that anybody particularly cares, it's more that people don't want to be seen as 'doing it for an advantage'.  I just wish they would take these things on board, yeah the tournament community is a small minority of their customer base, but how hard is it to be specific about something like this when they clearly believe it makes a difference to the extent of moving ungors back onto a 20mm base.

Well they do say for some of the models what base size is supplied in the box.

It's just not taken to the logical conclusion of doing it for everything.  I don't know if it's because it only gets added to the details of newer releases or not (haven't done, and not sure I can be bothered  to do, the research to verify that)
