I based my Warbuggies and I prefer it that way for the reasons listed above
(i.e., they look better). Also, some opponents might consider it slightly
"cheesy" not to base them, since you can theoretically get more buggies
around a large model. On the other hand, having them on bases makes each
buggy effectively 6cm wide for purposes of screening nobz bikes and the
like. Personally, I think considerations like this are trivial since they
will have no real influence on the outcome of a battle. It might also
be worth-while to recheck the warbuggy rules, sometimes it tells how the
units should be based (though I would assume that you already have checked).
