Warhammer 40k Bases - Games Workshop

Using a basing set for your Warhammer 40k models is a great place to start for beginners and experts alike.

All you need to do is give the base a lick of paint, stick the model down and then decide whether or not you want to add some tufts of grass or a skull or two to personalise them.

The whole process is there for you to get creative - it’s entirely up to you!
