Modular Display Stands for Bookcase Shelves
A bookcase is the cheapest, most flexible display cabinet most hobbyists already own — but a bare shelf hides your back rank and wastes the depth. Modular tiered stands turn any bookcase shelf into a proper miniature display: every model stepped up into view, far more figures per shelf, and a clean matte backdrop that makes paintwork pop.
Built for Standard Bookcase Depths
WarSplay stands are sized to make the most of standard bookcase shelving — they are designed to fit IKEA® Billy® bookcases and similar shelf depths without overhang. Drop a stand onto a shelf and a single flat row becomes multi-tier stadium seating; line several across the shelf, thanks to the flat interlocking edges, for a continuous display wall. Adjustable bookcase shelves also let you set the height to clear tall centrepieces.
Pro Tip: Set Shelf Height to the Tallest Model
On an adjustable bookcase, space the shelf to your tallest banner or centrepiece, then use a tiered stand underneath. You get full visibility without dead headroom — and far more models per shelf than laying them flat.
A Better Surface Than Bare Shelf or Acrylic
Bare melamine shelves are slippery and reflective; gloss acrylic risers mirror room light. WarSplay stands use an anti-glare matte composite with anti-slip feet, so models stay put and highlights read clearly even under a lamp or shelf light. They arrive fully assembled and are impact-resistant — no fragile acrylic tabs to snap.
Pick Your Stand
- Classic: fills a shelf with up to 17 infantry (25mm–32mm).

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit a standard bookcase shelf?
They are sized for standard bookcase depths, including IKEA® Billy® shelving. Check the depth in the Size Guide if your bookcase is shallow.
Do I need to fix them to the shelf?
No — anti-slip feet hold them in place. For extra security or to move a display, you can magnetise the models: see How to Magnetise WarSplay.
