How do you guys deal with a large monster that has a 4" base? I know in the new rules they only take up a single square officially but it is hard to fit any other players next to them? |

That's what she said.
Use lube.
Or just place them carefully.

center it in the square, crowd other models adjacent. You might have to have them buckle up on the base.
Or...
remove the 4" base, glue em down to a circular bloodbowl base. |

Smaller base; and buy some of the cool tabs from impact miniatures that you can use to indicate things like "prone" "stunned" "no tacklezone" etc for big guys, makes it easier than laying them down. |

Can work well if you base 'em facing one of the points of the base like a diamond rather than a square. That way they take up a little bit of 4 extra squares not 8! Problems if two big guys have to be placed head on though!  The 40k terminator bases are also pretty good for this, only being a bit bigger but big enough for most big guys |

Me havent glued ma Headsplitter on the base for transporting reasons so far (im not the best painter or modeller as well  ). That way i can e.g. remove him from the pitch laying a simple zombie model down where his base is (prone or whatever) while RO is waiting outside of the pitch to stand up again.
And on the normal standing basewidth issues: Read above.  . |

you could also abandon that GW stuff and play the game in the java client. No more big base blues! |

I use smaller bases on big miniatures, and sometime I even find smaller miniatures I use instead (tree dryads works nicely as treemen). One of my TT goblin teams with 4 trolls, had modified and painted savage orcs to look like trolls. |

Impact has a nice 30mm round base that solves most of those problems if you can fit the model on that. Otherwise a round 40mm base is much better than a square one.
And i recommend markers for prone and stunned so you don't have to lie the model down. Impact has some of those to.
