54mm models: base size?

[wildbill]

I have found a few 54mm models that I think would make cool converts for one of my Warlord armies. However, I am hesitant to buy them for fear of them being too big to fit on the Warlord bases. Does anyone know if a typical 54mm model will fit on a Large base? If not, what about a Giant base?

 

Thanks for your help!

A 50mm base should be fine for most 54mm stuff and a 40mm might work depending on the sculpt.

Bill, check this out.

It is a 54mm historical model placed on a plinth with top diameter of 45-50mm. Maybe it will give you an idea about the base sizes you might be looking for.

Ok, so I am hearing that most likely it will fit on a Giant base (2" square, or 50ish mm). A Large base (1.5" square) is not out of the question, but not horribly likely. The model I was hoping to replace is supposed to be on a Large base, but if I have to do a Giant for asthetics, then that is what I will do! You can go always UP a base size in Warlord; you can't go DOWN.

 

Thanks guys!

A 50 mm base will do just for most 54mm figures depending on sculpt and the sculptor's definition of 54mm ( I am working on a "54 mm" figure that is closer to 60mm right now). That should give you room groundwork. Again 45mm could work depending on sculpt/size and groundwork.
