Who Are These Bases For?
These 40mm rounds match the current standard size for light infantry and many other figure types in popular gaming systems such as Games Workshop. They provide a stable, lightweight base for assembling, painting, and displaying your miniatures on the tabletop or in a diorama. Because they are unpainted, you can customize each base with glue, sand, flock, static grass, or other small scenic elements.
How to Personalize Your Bases
Start by cleaning the plastic surface. Apply a thin layer of hobby glue and sprinkle on your chosen texture (sand, gravel, etc.). Let it dry, then paint or drybrush. Add static grass, tufts, or small stones for more detail. The bases hold paint well once primed, and the flat underside keeps them stable during play.
Can You Use These for Other Projects?
The simple round shape works for many modeling tasks beyond wargaming—basing small characters, coin display, or craft projects. Their 4mm thickness gives a solid feel without being too heavy. Keep in mind the plastic is easy to cut or sand if you need a slightly different shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the bases pre-textured or pre-painted?
No. They are plain, smooth plastic with no texture or paint. You apply your own base treatments.
What is the exact thickness?
Each base is 4mm thick. This provides enough rigidity for most 28–32mm scale miniatures.
How do these compare to other 40mm bases?
They are a standard size. The plastic material is comparable to what Games Workshop uses, but these are sold in bulk at a lower per-unit cost.
Can I glue metal or resin figures to these bases?
Yes, typical superglue or plastic cement works well. For metal figures, scoring the base surface lightly can improve adhesion.
