More about Gifts for Wargamers and Miniature Painters

Everything else on this page suits any army and any game, because every model stands on a base. Basing bits are small resin details for the base under a model: rocks, tree stumps, mushrooms, crystals, skulls and treasure. A texture roller presses cobblestones or planks into putty. Plain bases and a paint rack are things a painter never has enough of.

These are our own designs, printed to order in Perth, Western Australia. Basing bits, bases and rollers arrive as unpainted grey resin, ready to glue and paint. Unpainted orders leave within 3 to 5 business days, and standard post within Australia takes another 2 to 8 days, so order about two weeks before you need it. Delivery costs and times are on the shipping page.

About this collection

How to choose a gift for a wargamer or miniature painter when you don't share the hobby.

You know nothing about what they play: choose the gift card. It is sent by email, comes in amounts from A$25 to A$200, and works on everything in the shop, including painted models.

You know they paint miniatures: choose basing bits. A pack of rocks, tree stumps or skulls fits any army in the common 28mm and 32mm sizes, whatever game they play, and painters use them up.

You know they build their own bases or terrain: choose a texture roller, or the set of patterns with its handles.

Their paints live in a shoebox: choose the Paint Hive rack, which holds pots or dropper bottles and can grow later.

Leave the miniatures themselves to the gift card. Which models someone wants depends on their game, their army and the size they collect.
