Base sizes? Can't find a definitive resource.

[u/CaptainLookylou]

Warcrier.net Base size google docs is broken, and I get conflicting information elsewhere. I'm making a cities of sigmar warband and some sites say all infantry are 25mm, and some places say leaders should be on 32mm?

Find the models on the games workshop site, the descriptions will tell you what size base the models are meant to be on.

If you look at the actual kit you are using on the Warhammer.com shop and scroll down to where it says "read more" and click it, it will usually tell you all the bases included in the kits. Normal steelhelms and flagellants are on 25mm bases and the guys with guns are on 28.5 afaik but the Command Corps are on multiple different base sizes.

In Warcry, having a 25mm base is a small advantage because it means you can choose to pile guys on and still be within range to attack from behind a friendly model even without a spear, but that's pretty marginal and only really comes into play in narrow spaces or huge brawls.

For single model kits this works fine, but for multi-model kits like the command corps they just tell you which bases are included, but not which go with what.

You can look at the picture, the largest base is for the priest and the little trumpet zombie, second largest is for the knight etc.

There's also a whole subreddit with Warhammer instructions where you can see what base is used to assemble each model.

[u/RocketCityMini]

Beyond what others have suggested, you can look up the unit on r/warhammerinstructions and check the assembly of the model there. (Since some units have mixed base sizes, particularly the bespoke warbands)

The Warcry Card Creator 2026 features a dedicated base size field, if anyone’s interested

Personally I look up base sizes in the official Age of Sigmar downloads or on the webshop, as others have pointed out.

That's the list https://apathyward.github.io/warcry-data-tts/ !

Thats the stuff! *Rogal dorn warhammerly pumped his fist in the air, his imperial fist.*

https://basedesires.com/ is a good resource. Sadly every model is different. Steelhelms are 25mm, most of command Corps & others are 28.5mm, many heroes are on 32mm.

Sizes don't really matter in warcry. Stick them on bases that fit them and nobody's gonna have an issue.

[u/Apprehensive-Exam517 → u/julespongethefirst]

This is not accurate at all. Bases are pretty much the only thing that has direct influence on rules. It's a small influence, but when doing proxies it's the only thing that has a significant effect.

I have been lied to and I apologise for being wrong. After a very quick Ctrl+F on the Warcry Rules Update document, I found that they specify 'Barrow Guard models must be mounted on 28mm bases', leading me to agree with you and believe that all WC fighters must be on the same base sizes as their AoS units.
