28mm to 32mm Base Conversion

With the arrival of 7th edition Blood Angels, power armored models were packaged with wider 32mm bases, as opposed to the standard 28mm base shared across a range of 40K infantry models. 

Moving forward, I'd planned to use 32mm bases on space marine models. Aesthetically, however, the heterogeneous base size became an issue.


Fortunate, casters stepped up to the demand and Dragon Forge, specifically, created a hollow 32mm base "blank" that seats a 28mm base. After super gluing the based model into the blank, I filled the gap with green stuff and applied basing material over the expanded surface. 

Left to right: 32mm "blank," blank with greenstuff fill and basing material, GW 32mm base. 

Post prime, the re based mini appears roughly similar to the basic GW disc. Although the "footprint" is identical, the re based mini is slightly taller, overall. Please see the image below for a quick comparison!
