This product is handcrafted and painted specifically for you after you place your order. Production time is usually under two weeks, depending on the quantity. We will contact you to confirm the exact delivery date. Please note that because each base is handmade, the amount of objects (like small stones or plants) and color shades may vary slightly from the photos. As a custom-made product, it is exempt from the standard 14-day right of withdrawal (it is non-returnable).

A standard desert base is great, but a desert at dusk on a forgotten world tells a much more compelling story. Capturing that unique, low-light atmosphere with its subtle shifts in color is a real painting challenge. It’s hard to make sand look dark and mysterious without it just looking muddy. These painted desert bases are expertly crafted to evoke that perfect “sunless” feeling, giving your army a moody and atmospheric home without any of the difficult painting work for you.

What makes these painted bases a must-have for your miniatures:

• A Unique Twilight Atmosphere: Each base is hand-painted with a stunning blend of orange, grey, and subtle purple hues to create the look of a desert in perpetual twilight.
• Buried Secrets: The sands are littered with the remnants of forgotten ruins and ancient machinery, adding a deep sense of history and mystery to every base.
• Available in Round & Oval Shapes: We offer a complete range of sizes in both classic round and dynamic oval shapes, ready for every unit in your force.
• Ready for the Wastes: Your time is for strategy and painting your models. Just attach them to these bases and they’re ready to explore the dusklands.

Traverse the dusklands

Deploy your army onto the mysterious dunes of a world without a sun. These bases create a dramatic and moody landscape, where strange orange sands shift to reveal the cool grey and purple tones of buried structures. This isn’t just a battlefield; it’s an archaeological site or the tomb of a lost civilization, filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered.

This theme is a fantastic choice for any army with a mysterious or ancient lineage. Our round bases are perfect for lone wanderers or scouts picking through the dunes, while the oval bases can showcase a vehicle or beast traversing the forgotten wastes. Looking for the perfect setting for your Necrons awakening from a tomb world, or an Adeptus Mechanicus cohort on an archeotech dig? These painted desert bases are an ideal fit for these and many other factions.

Want to tweak this design?

What lies beneath the sands of your world? We can customize the buried elements to better suit your army’s story. Perhaps you’d prefer the massive bones of forgotten megafauna, the wreckage of a more recent conflict, or crystals of a specific color.
