IG Heavy weps based together or not problem

[Deleted]

Well first, howdy I'm new here

Anywho...

I'd bought a 3 heavy weapons squad and made 3 heavy bolters and They do look good and play well but the big base annoys me. Just doesn't look right. I also have old cadians, catachan etc metals and they arn't based like that. So in the future can I base the two men on normal guardsmen bases and keep the heavy weapon loose with them like the old metals?

What I would preferably like to have is the 3 HB's on the big bases and all the rest not but with both old metals not based together and new cadian guardsmen clearly posed showing they are one of the heavy weapon pair but not on a bit base. There are people who think I'm attempting to gain an advantage by making it look like there are only 3 heavy weapons on the board. And that I either base all heavy weapons on the big bases or none at all.

To be honest I prefer the painting and modeling so I might just choose what I think looks better anyway.

Oh and a completely unrelated note but it should be quick. Imperial assassins in the deamonhunters/witchhunters codex's say they need an inquisitor to be fielded. I field pure IG. Do I HAVE to ally and take the inquisitor to get one fielded. I played a fair few years ago and I sware you just put them in on their own so I wondered if thats changed. Also that doesn't include deathcult assassins who I presume would definitely need the inquisitor/allying. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well thats finished my ramblings. Other than I come back to the game and set up operation human shield in deployment and then get told the new line of sight rules. arrgghhh!!!

You can put them on different bases if you want to, ruleswise its not a problem. I'm building some HW teams now and i'm putting the gunner with the weapon on a medium base and the loader on a separate small base.

cool. I think I'll base them seperatly although your way sounds good

You always need an Inquisitor Lord if you want to take an assassin. But if you have the right assassin in the right territory it can be really ugly

Yeah, I do it all the time!
I think it looks bette,

[Rolling Thunder]

Meh, tis far too much thought put into this. I prefer to simply have as many HV weapons teams as possible. (3 to a box). The more you shoot at someone, the greater the chance they'll cop one to the head.

[Mabus]

Who cares if you hit 'em in the head? if it's a missile or Lascannon they're in pieces anyway!

[Commissar]

LoL, a lascannon = Maglite.
BOOM!
What happened?

i've based mine indiviualy so here a tip if you have any spare city ruin railing they can be used to secure the main gun for the team so you don't have to convert so much cheers

how you made it? i mean, what have you used to make a base? coz i want to glue to the base only tripod, and then change weapons, but i don't know exactly how to do it. i was thinking on cork with holes cut, but maybe GS is better for this...and also, those medium bases are too small for 2 crewman plus tripod plus eventually sandbag or some other stuff. isn't it against rules that i put them on bigger base? any comments, advises etc. ??
