Quick answer: Large miniatures need clear height, enough shelf depth for the base, and usually their own bay so they do not eclipse infantry. Measure true height including basing, then match a wider podium.
Compatible with miniatures used in Warhammer 40,000, within the stated base-size limits.
Measure first
Record base diameter and tallest point (spears, wings, banners). Check shelf gap with the shelf clearance calculator and will your miniature fit.
Stand choices
- WarSplay Hero 9-slot stand (£18.95) for monster-scale and large bases
- WarSplay XL display rack (from £14.35) for hex / larger footprints
- WarSplay Hero Mini stand (£11.95) when the model is big but not full monster-scale
Layout
Give centrepieces their own shelf bay or the top tier of a dedicated stand. Mixed shelves work only if infantry sit forward and the tall model has clear air above it.

FAQ
What counts as a large miniature?
Roughly taller centrepieces and bases around 50 mm and up — measure your own models.
Same shelf as infantry?
Often a separate bay is clearer.
Dust on big models?
Soft brush; see the open-display dust guide.
