DEATH TO THE ULTRAMARINES!
Its a cool piece, love the pose. cool paint job. That marine is SO dead!

Question tho: Is it going tobe included in the army? I was usually told that, Unless its Lucas the Trickster, you shouldnt put models on bigger bases than they actually need to be.

You can put your models on bigger bases as much as you'd like... the big no-no is putting models on smaller bases than what they came with originally. If you put them on bigger bases, you're just making it easier for your opponents to make base contact when they charge you. ;)

Cool model by the way... love the colors. :D

That works both ways, does it not? if you want the model to be in base contact with as many enemies as possible, its an advantage.

Thanks, it was a fun model to build and paint. I did play out the battle a couple times and the marine definitely got owned. :)

The rules do allow larger bases, likely with scenic bases in mind. I'm actually worried the base will be too big to exploit gaps between enemy units, which makes it less effective. It'll likely be the second to die for that reason even though it's the best-looking of the batch. I considered making a second, terminator-sized base for it for games, but I doubt it'll be an issue in most games and I'm hopeful my opponent will cut me some slack since the base is larger purely for looks and stability.
