Miniature Bases Guide for Tabletop RPGs

Bases Make Models Easier To Read

A base frames the miniature and helps players understand where it stands. Clean bases are useful for play, while scenic bases make heroes, bosses, and display pieces feel more finished.

Choose By Use

Gaming pieces benefit from stable, practical bases. Display pieces can use taller textures, dramatic rocks, ruins, and effects. If the model will be handled often, keep the base durable and easy to place.

Painting Benefit

Bases are also a low-pressure way to practice painting. Stone, dirt, grass, snow, and ruins can teach drybrushing, washes, texture, and color contrast quickly. Browse miniature bases for options.
