#1 Post by sion997 »

Hi,

Does anyone know how high the flying stem was for Great Eagle in Warhammer fantasy 8th edition?


Sincerely,

Welcome again sion.

:)

I suspect it’s the same as for the Great Eagle from the Hobbit range, they seem of similar size:

This probably uses the ’larger’ (60mm) flying base:

This comes with 30mm and 35mm stems (excluding the bits which fit into the model and base), so one of those I guess. They also sell a smaller 32mm flying base with commensurately smaller (15mm and 20mm) stems, which I have. That’s more appropriate for a Warhawk-sized model in my opinion though.

So in short, my best guess is 30mm or 35mm, I don’t recall any rules-based prescription on this. The stems in my link above seem to be the same length whether the end bit is ball and socket or the simpler 'plug' type.

Just here to confirm SA's estimate. My Great Eagle flying stems are 30 and 35 mm (excluding the bits that go into the base and the model).
