Base sizes in 40k

Heya, quick question, is it legal to use those cool looking 30mm lipped bases in 40k? I really hate the GW ones, they're bland and ugly and I want to base my Eldar force on shiny sexy 10 x 30 mm Rock Slate Bevelled Bases. I also want to do a pile of Smurf corpses scenic base for my Farseer and there wouldn't be enough space on the 25mm GW bases anyway. I'm not too worried if I am disadvantaged in the rules in some way but I would like to know if it is legal to do first and the likelyhood of having to Furioso-in-a-sock have a polite and reasoned debate with some 13 year old rules laywer one.

im pretty sure the rules state that models have to be based on the base size they come with or bigger, so for people on 25mm, 30mm is fine

So could I put Taldeer on a 40mm base?

Yes, you could. Watch, however, that you don't get caught out with using non GW parts when gamin in GW. Just a warning. . .

Dave out.

The guys at my GW are pretty mellow, and I'm bigger than two of them anyway. :) I'm going to make a 60mm scenic base for Taldeer, and have a 30mm round slot in it which I can use to base Taldeer, then when I want to use her in a game I can take her off it and have her on a more reasonable sized base. Hooray!

Now I just need someone to sculpt me a female Farseer with no helm and long hair >_>
