There’s an old adage in painting miniatures: “Bases and faces make miniatures look aces”. It’s simple and to the point, and also true – these focal points are key in helping set your miniatures apart, and a tasteful skull or two with some scrubland tufts for detail can really elevate a base.
There’s more to Warhammer 40,000 battlefields than artillery-blasted wastes with a sparse scattering of withered grass though, and with the brand new Battlefield Trophies kit you will be able to take your basing game to the next level.*
This box contains 288 plastic base-topper bits across two frames, from a whole crushed Space Marine to stick under the feet of your exultant champions and towering monsters, to a disparate selection of heads and helmets.
You’ve got basing elements from the Adeptus Custodes, Death Guard, Chaos Terminators, Orks, World Eaters and Thousand Sons, Astra Militarum, Arbites, Kroot, Aeldari, Adepta Sororitas, various Tyranid bioforms, and beyond.
Everyone still loves a good skull, which is why there are over 150 skulls, including 55 damaged skulls, a pile of human skulls, mutated human skulls, T’au and Ork skulls, the skulls of birds, Gretchin, miscellaneous Genestealer cultists, and other stranger creatures. There is even a selection of Servo-skulls.
As you can see, there are plenty of opportunities to use them to add a bit of narrative to your characters, or even your whole army – and we’re not even showing off all the bits. There are simply too many options to show them all here!
We’re also sure kitbashers and creative modellers will find plenty of uses for this varied selection of heads and skulls. Keep an eye out on Warhammer Community in the new year when they’ll be available for pre-order.
* Sadly this game won’t award any victory points beyond the 10 you get for a Battle Ready army…
