The WarSplay® system is a modular, tiered display solution specifically engineered for the modern wargamer. Developed right here in the UK, this system transforms scattered squads of 28mm and 32mm scale miniatures into a professional, exhibition-grade centrepiece.
Watch: See the WarSplay® system in action.
If you are tired of cluttered shelves or "The Foam Case Burial," the WarSplay® offers a precision-engineered way to keep your collection secure, aligned, and fully visible. It is the ultimate IKEA Detolf® upgrade for those who take their hobby seriously.
Why Use a Tiered Display System?
Painting miniatures takes hours of dedication. Displaying them shouldn't be an afterthought. Using a stadium-style angled design, our system ensures every model catches the light equally. It is specifically compatible with Warhammer 40,000® and Age of Sigmar®, making it ideal for:
- Tournament Transport: Moving squads between tables safely.
- Photography: Getting clean, tiered shots of your entire skirmish force (such as a Kill Team® squad) without constant rearranging.
- Exhibition: Maximising vertical space while maintaining a sleek, professional look.
Elevation is the whole point. Heroic-scale miniatures are small — typically 28–35mm tall, averaging around 32mm — so on a flat shelf they quickly disappear behind one another. Raising them changes that dramatically: our own measurements show that lifting a standard 20mm-tall figure onto a 49mm WarSplay® tier more than triples its visible display height (a 245% increase) and brings it close to six times higher off the shelf surface, so the rank behind is no longer hidden.
Unlike standard acrylic cases that suffer from distracting glare and fingerprints, WarSplay® stands feature a unique anti-glare matte finish. This ensures the viewer’s eye is drawn to your paintwork, not the plastic holding it up. For a comparison, read our post on Acrylic Cases vs. Open Stands.

Infinite Modularity for Growing Armies
Your collection isn't static, and your display shouldn't be either. The WarSplay® system features flat-edged sides that allow you to slot multiple units together side-by-side. You can start with a single WarSplay® Classic for your skirmish force and expand into a massive tiered parade ground for a full 2,000-point army as you paint more reinforcements.
