How to Display Large Miniatures and Monsters

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.

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.
