WarSplay Miniature DIsplay Stand

The Ultimate Tabletop Wargaming Gift Guide 2026

Every miniature painter knows the dread of the "Pile of Shame"—spending hours meticulously painting models, only to store them away in dark foam boxes because heavy, official acrylic display cases cost a fortune.

This year, skip the overpriced, fragile setups. The WarSplay system is the smart, durable, lightweight plastic alternative built to get armies out of storage and onto the shelf.

Whether you are shopping for a seasoned veteran or a new player, our modular tiers are fully compatible with Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, and D&D miniatures. You can mix, match, and build the exact staging ground their army deserves—without the premium price tag.

The IKEA Detolf & Blåliden Upgrade

Maximising Glass Cabinets

Most wargamers rely on standard glass cabinets like the classic IKEA Detolf or its new replacement, the IKEA Blåliden. However, flat shelves waste valuable vertical space. WarSplay’s modular tiers instantly double your display capacity. The lightweight plastic design lets you build vertical ranks, turning a crowded, disorganised shelf into a professional, stadium-style exhibition.

The Skirmish Squad Setup

Perfect for 32mm Bases

If the gamer in your life plays smaller-scale sci-fi or fantasy skirmish games, organisation is key. Our standard tiers are perfectly sized to lock 32mm bases into neat, highly visible formations. No more knocking over front-row troops to see the meticulously painted models hiding in the back.

The Centrepiece Showcase

Displaying the Heavy Hitters

Every army has a centrepiece—a massive warlord, a heavy combat mech, or a dragon. WarSplay is engineered to handle these 80mm heavy hitters directly alongside standard infantry. The modular podiums let you elevate the commander above the troops, creating a dynamic diorama right on the hobby desk.
