ROUND BASE 40MM X5 UNITS

Round Base 40 mm - five bases for larger miniatures

A diameter of 40 mm belongs in tabletop gaming to the larger models: commanders on plinths, monsters, cavalry and crewed heavy weapons. AK interactive supplies these round bases in packs of five pieces. A good base is more than a necessity; it is the shop window of the figure standing on it and often the first thing the viewer notices.

Typical uses

• plinths for heroes and command models
• bases for war beasts and monsters
• bases for crewed heavy weapons
• a display plinth for a single painted figure

How to lift the base above the ordinary

Forty millimeters already give you room to tell a story: a piece of broken wall, a tree stump, a lost helmet or a skull turns the base into a scene in miniature. Layer the materials from coarse to fine, tie them together in color and let the figure stand out; the base should complement it, not overpower it. On competition pieces in particular that balance pays off.

You will appreciate it if

• you are building an army with support units
• you are preparing figures for painting competitions
• you make collector pieces for a display case
• you want a uniform look across a collection

For rank-and-file infantry, reach for the smaller twenty-five-millimeter version instead.

Why just five pieces

An army usually has only a handful of models on the larger diameter, so a smaller pack matches the real need and no surplus stock is left lying around. If you are planning a larger unit on these bases after all, order two packs at once and paint the bases in a single session.
