Question on Chaos Dragon base size

Going to start my Chaos dragon project soon but was questioning what base size is proper. Are our stats comparable to the zombie dragon stats? If so I guess I could use that base size wich would be nice as it can accomodate a more scenic base. I look forward to your comments.

I would use the base it comes with myself. Any bigger is putting yourself at a disadvantage and any smaller is cheating but there doesnt seem to be a set base size for dragons. I still wonder how they put galrauch on that tiny base and every other dragons base is atleast 2xs larger

The dragon did not come with a base as it is not a GW model.

Minimum 50x50, but a chariot base would be better as that is the size the HE dragon comes on.

Thanks, that is what I thought. The chariot base will give me the extra room I need for some scenic materials.

Yeah I'd say Chariot base. Wouldn't do a whole ton of basing stuff if GW puts out an official model, as you'd have to rebase it if it was for example on an Arachnarok base. :o

I use the Arachnarok size base, since that's what came with the zombie dragon, which was the base for my conversion.

Damn, now I am thinking of going back to the zombie dragon base size. I guess I can just make my dragon removable so if the chaos dragon base size changes I can just swap it out.

Honestly, rank and file attacks aren't a big worry for a Chaos lord, most of the time, especially since you'll hopefully be flanking. Speaking of flanking, one advantage of a bigger base is a bigger LoS. Just sayin.
