Best way to section up my Sandstone

[Carrerahill]

I have this sandstone:

 

 

What is the best way would you think to section it up into 4" blocks?

 

My plan was to use a diamond disk to scribe round it, then just use a 4" bolster and split it off like you would split concrete block.

 

They are to be used as a feature facing brick.

Do you think I need to score the base? Issue is, I cannot really move it to score the bottom...

Nope, if you can score 3 sides, sharp bolster hits (not hard enough to break it) to the 3 sides and then crack it and it will break pretty cleanly
