I’d like to mount two of the small old Squiggoths to a base and treat them as though they were a single Squiggoth in game terms. The old models look like they could feasibly hold five Orks max and not the twenty they are allowed by the rules. They’re to a different scale I know and if I was solely using them I’d live with it, but since I’m using both old and new style ones together it just looks and feels wrong.

Though not strictly in the rules would anyone have a problem with me doing this? Clearly I’m just doing it for aesthetic reasons rather than to get any kind of game advantage and looking down from above the surface area taken up by two small ones is about the same as one larger one or only very slightly more.

I may like to maybe take the army to a tournament one day so wanted to check what people think.

Personally I wouldn't have a problem with this. They are all Squiggoths so wysiwyg and counts as is covered.

Absolutely fine as long as you're clear with your opponent what they are.

Heck, all things considered, the only problem I'd have with someone doing this is that they'd be 'wasting' so many hard-to-get models.

Still, I understand the desire for things to "look right." It's the reason I base my jetbike 3 to a stand instead of the 2 per stand that most people use.

I actually am not sure there's anything illegal about this any way you look at it. Squiggoth model, on Squiggoth base. Looks fine to me! Certainly this falls under "counts as" if all else fails.

Excellent, that’s the sort of response I like to hear :smile:

I thought it’d be ok, but I wasn’t really sure, the rulebook spoke about infantry being three to seven models, but just referred to vehicles in the singular.

I guess in a sense it’s a ‘waste’ of rare out of production models, but for me aesthetics is key and I’ve crossed that boundary already by basing various of my Eldar Exodites two to a base and they’re a whole other category of hard-to-get.

Thanks for the responses!

Should be fine, and I agree it looks good.

If you spend a couple of moments explaining that they represent 1 model then I have no problems and I don't think thta anyone else would either.

Feel free! Good to share ideas around and it's not like I have a copyright on Squiggoths or anything.

It seems perfect to me. Both are Squiggoths, both the same base (just Mom squigotth, Dad squiggoth & the "children"  :laugh: )
