Its a cool piece, love the pose. cool paint job. That marine is SO dead!
Question tho: Is it going to be 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.
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.
