What is the size of a large star wars miniatures base?

[Gardevoir]

Does anyone know the size of the base of large miniatures in star wars miniatures, such as the Houjix? im tempted to get some for heroscape.

I just measured Houjix's base. It's 48mm or 1 7/8". It's too big for Scape without modification. Because of the configuration, Houjix would need a peanut base.

Like the DnD minis, there are several different size large bases for Star Wars minis. It all depends on the position of the figure and its legs.

I believe the WOTC Star Wars minis used the same scale and measurement as the old D&Dminis Skirmish, which was one square being 1inch.

So as a rule of thumb, if the figure you're looking at is bigger than a small/medium sized figure, it is at *least* on a 1 and 7/8" base, because they are designed to occupy four squares (ie, 2 inch diameter). Huge bases were, IIRC, 3 x 3 squares, so around a 3 inch diameter circle for those.

oh ok, thank you . i know i keep asking but what about a dark trooper phase 3? i have a phase 1 and i know that it fits on heroscape tiles because i use it for heroscape, is it the same size base as phase 1 (old large D&D base) or is it 3x3 squares?

I'm pretty sure that all 3 phases of the Dark Troopers are on the ~40mm base.
