Warhammer Age of Sigmar Hobby Guides & Free Tools

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar collection quickly becomes more than a set of miniatures. Armies develop names, colour palettes, basing themes and characters of their own. This independent hub collects our useful tools and general miniature-hobby guides in one place.

Building an Army Identity

A strong army usually becomes coherent before every miniature is finished. Three decisions do most of the work: what the force is called, which colours repeat across the collection, and what kind of ground or environment appears on the bases.

01 · NAME

Give the Force a Name

A name gives an army a point of view. It can suggest where the force comes from, what it values or what other armies might call it.

02 · COLOUR

Repeat a Small Palette

A dominant colour, one secondary colour and one repeating accent are usually enough to make very different models read as one collection.

03 · BASE

Use the Ground to Tie It Together

Consistent earth, stone, snow, ash or vegetation can unify miniatures painted months or even years apart.

Clear a Painting Backlog

Practical ways to make progress on a large collection without turning painting into an obligation.

Where Not to Store Miniatures

Heat, direct sunlight, damp and other environmental conditions that can damage painted collections.

Clean Dust Off Painted Miniatures

Safe ways to remove dust while protecting paint, varnish, delicate parts and textured bases.

Move a Painted Collection Safely

A practical packing method for transporting a collection during a house move without chipped paint or snapped parts.

Miniatures Around Kids & Pets

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an official Warhammer Age of Sigmar resource?

No. This is an independent hobby resource. It is not produced, sponsored or endorsed by Games Workshop Limited.

What can the Age of Sigmar name generator create?

It can generate original ideas for armies, warbands, heroes, war engines, ships and realms. The names are intended as creative prompts rather than reproductions of official faction or character names.

Do the general miniature guides apply to every Age of Sigmar army?

The collection-care, photography and hobby-planning guides are based on the physical miniature hobby rather than game rules, so their methods are broadly applicable across different armies and miniature types.

Can I use a generated name for my own army?

The generator is intended to produce original creative prompts for personal hobby use. Generated suggestions are not guaranteed to be unique, so anyone planning commercial publication should carry out their own checks.
