Base size for big guys

How many squares does a big guy take in the LRB's? Lots of the minis I've seen (esp in the rulebook) have 40mm square or round bases, but there's no hard information in the books about base size like there was in 2nd edition. I've seen some others on this site teetering on 25mm. So what's the verdict?

Apologies if I've missed something obvious here - I searched but didn't find a satisfactory answer.

I'm leaning towards one square, which would mean I would need to get some 30mm round bases - who makes them, and can I find them in a store in Australia?

Living Rulebook 5, Page 65, FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

"Q: My big guy (Ogre, Minotaur, Troll, etc.) player's base is larger than the
square on the board (pitch). Does he take up more than one square for
the rules?
A: No, all players in the game from a Snotling to a Treeman only occupy
one square on the board (pitch)."

Big Guys use the normal 40mm ones.

Cheers.

All players take up one square on the board, no matter what size the figure is.
You should be able to buy bases at any well stocked store that sells warhammer stuff or other similar figure games.

Locked as it's been pointed out answer is in the rule book, and it's been asked before.
