Base Size Updates
Posted on Monday Jul 28, 2025 at 05:00pm in Models
When Maelstrom's Edge first launched, we only had three different base sizes, which imposed some unavoidable limitations on model design. With Maelstrom's Edge V2 looking on the horizon, and a larger range of bases now at our disposal, we've taken the opportunity to review the model range to make sure that everything is on the actual base that best fits. To keep things clear for players, we have released a Base Size document that will track the current base for each model in the game.
The majority of models are staying on their original bases, but some elite units and human-sized character models have had a slight bump up to make them stand out better on the table or to make them less cramped on the base. Remnant Nimbus suits, which were originally on a 46mm base as that was the only base we had to fit them, will now be on a 36mm base to properly differentiate them from their larger brethren. You can find the full base list on the Maelstrom's Edge website here.
Note that if a model in your collection has changed its official base size for V2, there is no need for you to re-base your already assembled models unless you want to, as these changes have minimal effect on gameplay. If you would like to grab some extra bases to swap, though, we have added a complete STL base bundle to the webstore which includes the 3D-printable files for 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 46, 54, and 65mm Maelstrom's Edge bases. Grab this pack from the Maelstrom's Edge webstore here!
