Desert Basing Bits

Desert basing bits for 28mm miniatures: cacti, rock outcrops, small stones, bleached bones and broken tiles for sand, scrub and badlands bases. All our own designs, printed to order in resin in Perth, Western Australia.
More about Desert Basing Bits

Start with Desert Cacti (barrel cacti, prickly pear and saguaros) and Rock Clump for the big shapes, then scatter Small Rocks between them. Skulls & Bones add a dead traveller or beast, and Broken Tiles turn the sand into the floor of a lost ruin. The same packs suit Wild West and alien-world bases.

About this collection

Put the tall cacti and big rocks towards the back or side of the base so the figure stays in front. Small stones and a skull or two fill the space between, and a broken tile makes a ruin poke through the sand.

Every pack is sculpted for 28mm figures (they suit 32mm too) and ships unpainted in grey resin on its print sprue, ready to snip free, glue on, texture and paint. We print each order in our Perth workshop in Western Australia, and orders usually ship within 3–5 business days.
