Hey guys. I'm kinda at a crossroads on whether to start using 32 mm bases on my marines or sticking to 25 mm. I originally was going to stick with 25 mm because that's what I used with the army I dug out of my parent's attic. I've been able to use a bunch of leftover 25 mm bases, but now I'm running low and everything I buy comes with 32 mm. I have a squad of sternguard that are still unbuilt cause I can't make this decision.
How are people making the transition to 32mm? I really don't like the look of those base expander things, though. Are people going with mixed-base armies? I wouldn't mind if a squad or two of elites (ie. sternguard) are on larger bases.
Or does anybody know a good source of 25 mm bases? Everything I've found has been sold out or ridiculously expensive.

I highly recommend going with the 32mms wherever possible. The extra space makes a huge difference when it comes to basing materials, and the marines actually look like they were meant for that size all along.
When it comes to base extenders, the intent is to glue them in and paint them so you can't tell its a base extender.

So my resistance is futile? I think I'm just being stubborn. Any good base extenders you'd recommend?

Its also just a matter of uniformity for me, but to each their own! I think Dragon Forge makes some nice ones for relatively cheap.

I'm not transitioning to 32mm bases. I've got way too many Marines on 25mm to think about rebasing all of them. Any new stuff I get goes on 25mm since different size bases for the same troop types would bother me. Fortunately I've got lots of 25mm sitting around but it may become a problem as my Space Wolves Legion takes shape.
The Wolves may all go on 32mm, just depends on how many Marines get repurposed from other projects. Word Bearers will stay on 25mm since I've already got over 40 painted on 25mm.
