Miniature Bases – The Foundation of Your Army
Miniature and model bases are much more than just a piece of plastic that keeps your miniature upright. They are an integral part of every painted figure, serving key functions that are both practical and aesthetic. First and foremost, they provide stability for the models, which is essential during gameplay in wargames like Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, or Bolt Action. Additionally, the size and shape of the base often define the unit's footprint on the battlefield, which directly impacts game mechanics such as movement range or combat. In our selection, you'll find a wide variety of bases in the most popular shapes—round, oval, square, and rectangular—made from durable plastic, MDF, or transparent acrylic.
Basing: Add Character to Your Models
The process of decorating, known in the hobby as 'basing,' is an art in itself. A well-made base can breathe life into a miniature, setting it in a specific environment and telling a story. It's on the base that you can create a miniature diorama depicting muddy trenches, the cracked earth of a Martian wasteland, a lush jungle, or the ruins of a destroyed city. Specialized basing accessories are used for this purpose: texture pastes, static grass, vegetation tufts, sand, pebbles, and even miniature skulls or architectural elements. Properly decorated bases also help to achieve a cohesive look for an entire army, making individual units look like part of a single, organized fighting force.
In this category, you'll find not only standard bases but also practical accessories. We offer base adapters that allow you to easily change their size or shape, which is useful for updating older models for new game editions. Transparent acrylic bases are also available, perfect for players who want their miniatures to blend in seamlessly with the background of any game mat. Whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned wargaming veteran, the right bases and basing accessories are key to making your collection look amazing.
