whfb daemons in 40k?

[Leftenant Gashrog]

I believe the 28mm square bases fit inside the 28mm round bases so if anything there is less range.

The smaller Fantasy bases used by Skaven, Dwarves etc are 20mm and fit inside the standard 40k 25mm diameter base, but Daemon Infantry all use the larger 25mm wide square base.

I actually do this, myself, and have had no issues. Granted, I play mostly with friends and wouldn't bring that army to any tourney (not only because of the bases, and the gameplay issues, but nearly half of the army is non-GW figs) so if your situation is similar, I don't expect you'll come up against any trouble.

Only problems are:

1. Deep strike formation.
2. Pivoting models to get a couple of millimetres extra charge distance.

To be honest, neither of these are particularly troublesome, as long as you don't try to get any advantage out of it. They are glued to the bases they were supplied with; there is no rule saying that those bases have to be rounded. Just explain to your opponent how you're going to deal with the above problems (i.e. concentric squares for deep strike, and always move/charge with a flat side of the base towards the enemy) before the game and you should be sweet.

As said before, mount regular sized and monstrous demons on round base, not square.

Movement trays can be built to accomodate those round bases in Fantasy Battle, and it gives the exact same space that square based large infantry would get.

That's what i did for my slaanesh legion, and it works wonders.

For steeds of slaanesh, there's a new "eliptic" base in 40k (for bikes i guess), so i mounted mine on the Fantasy rectangular bases and made mini-trays to put the model on for 40k games. You can basically cut a regular round base in two, and put it in front and back of the model (just need something like cardboard under it), and voila, your fantasy steed now has the exact same footprint as the 40k one.

Chariots are a bit more problematic, but by then...i think people will cut you some slack

Or mount them on whatever bases* you like, as the rules fully support this method.

*being the ones they come with.
