    Modelling a Skaven Warlitter

    What's the accepted base size for a warlitter?
    I've always imagined an ogre base (proper dimensions escape me at this moment)

    I have mine on an Rat ogre size base, that is to say 40mm by 40mm square.

    I think that given you get 4 extra attacks with a stormvermin style profile, it suggests that the litter is carried by 4 models, hence the 40mm x 40mm base size.

    I'd say you could use larger (as no clear benefit) but to use smaller may get others back up.

    That being said, I can't find anything that says what size it should be exactly

    There is no "official" size, because there's no "official" model out (yet). However, given that Skaven infantry are all mounted on 20mm bases and (as mentioned by sysy16) you get an extra 4 attacks, it's a reasonable assumption that the warlitter should be mounted on a 40mm square base. To mount it on anything bigger or oddly shaped (like a cavalry base) would make it awkward to rank up in a unit (which it's clearly supposed to do).

    I'll agree with the other posters and say 40 x 40mm seems to be the most common solution.
