Doom Diver and infatry bases?

[Quinzy]

According to the rules you must maximise the models in base contact with each other. So anything but the centre alignment in this case is an illegal move.

Sucks to use the original Doom Diver, then - those had the flying goblins on 20mm infantry bases.

Looking at the box photo, it seems clear that it should be on a 30mm base.

For future reference, small round flying bases are 30mm diameter; large ones are 60mm.

Reread the BRB ftw - yup, point conceded.

but I got the large flying base with my Doom Diver...
Another friend of mine made a remark that the Doom Diver is shot 'AS A STONE THROWER'
He says Stone Throwers use the small round template, wich is just a bit bigger then the 60mm flying base, so that makes it the large one for the DD

I once got a box of Bret knights with no bases at all. Does this mean I can't charge since I can't get into base contact?

My doomdiver came with the small one, bought 7-8 years ago

However it also says, directly afterwards, that "no template is used" (O&G 8th Ed. p. 48)
So whether the template is similar to a base size is irrelevant.
The current model uses a 30mm round base, so I would be inclined to say that this is the correct base size.

Seems Legit...

When in doubt, look at what the base the GW models have in the pics - And go by that.

If the newest 8th edition army book has pics of the 30mm, use that. if its the 60mm, use that!
