I don't like the big round bases some people use because it limits the deployment of the machine. Unless you don't stick it to the base. In which case, why bother at all?
Very true. Like I said, sometimes I use it, if I have room, sometimes I don't... if I don't.
It's certainly not the most convenient of things, but I think somtimes it's nice from an aesthetic point of view. Plus it gives you somewhere to put all those random and spare parts you end up with

. That's mainly why I did mine. Certainly in gaming terms I think the base is quite meaningless.
I should have included an example. To date, this is the only war machine I have based, probably won't do my reapers and I only have one Empire cannon so far painted up.
