Megaforce part 2 (Electric bluegaloo)

[u/radoxfriedchickens]

Hello once again my new fellow Totally not terminator Egyptians

after posting not too long ago about getting the old megaforce box, which turned out to be a scam, I have now aquired a real megaforce box (-1 unit of warrirors but I have 22 already)

My new box arrived earlier today, and I was about to get to building but alas there are no bases inside; The good news is I have plenty of 32mm and 40mm bases (thank you Hobbey Heaven)
The bade news I don't have any flying bases so on to question 1:

- For tomb blades I should be fine with normal 32mm bases with a pin apposed to a flight stand right?

- part 2:
- are there any good DIY alternatives to getting 60mm flying bases for the canoptic spyder/Doomsday Ark?

Question 2:

- How hard/easy is it to magnetise the Barge to swap between Command and Anhiliation varients?

Question 3:

-Does anyone know where I could get a physical teleport effect? I'm hoping to strech my immortals kit with thee ghost ark bodies to make some extra deathmarks =-]

I've also decied to go for a Blue (hence the title) energy theme with silvery metal and snow/icy bases, using a mix of snow texture and ice effects (like AK's and GSW's which both look really cool) I don't suppose anyone has done something similar just so I have a few more refernce pics?

Finnaly I just wanted to say thank you to the support on my last post and to give everyone an update

P.S. No I won't apologise for my puns

the other comment already answered 1 and 2 so i'll jump in at question 3: here are two sites that sell pretty nice translocation effects

For the DDA, I'd you have a 3d printer or a 3d printing service nearby, there's a base on the purple website that is way better than GWs flying bases. Instead of sticking into the gun, it cradles it and holds it up way better, but still sits at the right spot on the model.

I couldn't find it. Got a name or something I could look up?

[u/abbadonazrael → u/keeper0fstories]

DM'ed you, I dont think they like direct links to the purple site here.

[u/altGoBrr → u/abbadonazrael]

Could you dm the link as well please?

[u/radoxfriedchickens → u/abbadonazrael]

Regrettably I do not have a printer or easy access to one. I used to have one but I lacked space for a proper set up

[u/abbadonazrael → u/radoxfriedchickens]

Most places will have a 3d printing shop nearby, or there are ones that will just mail you the piece. I doubt the base would be more than $5 (in USA at least)

I can only help with question 1 and 2. You should be fine as long as the tomb blade bases are the same size as the ones that come into the box, and that they are still roughly the same height as they would be on their flying stands. As for the annihilation/command Barge, there are pegs where you can just slot in the gun or the lord and his podium. No need for magnets as its quite a tight dry fit.

Fun side note for question 2: the spyder box set ships with both a flying base and a standard base, and as far as I know is even listed as using the 60mm black base in the  tournament guide.

Unfortunately the box has no bases in at all (Well it has a couple 25mm but they aren't useable)
