Start with the base size your game needs, then choose the material and tray layout. Our bases and movement trays cover a range of options; these pointers will help you find the right one.

Finding a size

If the collection menus don’t take you straight to it, try the store search. Search for the size in both orientations: if 30 × 60 doesn’t find what you need, try 60 × 30 as well.

Columns first, then ranks

For a rectangular movement tray, read the layout as columns × ranks. A 5 × 4 tray is five models wide and four ranks deep.

Shaped trays use their own arrangement. The Knightly 6 Arrowhead Tray below is one example, designed for 30×60mm bases.

Finding bases for your game

The game-specific collections help narrow the choice. For Games Workshop-style square bases, the Games Workshop square-base search is another useful starting point. Choose the size required by the rules you’re using.

Materials and thicknesses

MDF is a common choice: it is durable, easy to paint and available in 2mm and 3mm options across the range. Acrylic and card options are available on suitable products too.

Clear acrylic can suit a dungeon or spacecraft floor when you want the surface below to remain visible. Check the dropdown options on the individual product for its material, thickness and size choices.

Can’t find what you need?

Ask us and we’ll help you find the right option. If it isn’t in the range, we can discuss whether a bespoke base or tray would do the job.
