am i not, by the letter of the rules, correct? |
they're not illegal... you're using the base you're given by GW for that model. now if you were to say, buy an old metal termie and then slap a plastic on on the 25mm base you got for the metal one, then yes, you're definately cheating! (as we know that the plastic termies come with the 40mm bases.)
if you make a bitz order to get some of the old metal termies and you're sent the old 25mm bases, then you can use those - it's what you've been supplied with and basically 'told to use by GW'!
if someone tries to pull that kind of crap during a game by saying your metal termies
must be changed to 40mm bases, then they're being an ass! (you used what you were given and that's all that the rule in question demands you do!)
cheers!
