Compare three Wyrdscapes 50mm bases for Malifaux centerpiece models: Graveyard, Victorian Ruin, and Asian Shrine. Find the right scenic base for your miniature's narrative.
Quick answer
Choose the Wyrdscapes 50mm base that best supports your centerpiece model's story: the Graveyard for undead or horror themes, the Victorian Ruin for dark city decay, and the Asian Shrine for solemn, spiritual scenes.
What these bases have in common
All three Wyrdscapes 50mm bases are designed to frame a larger miniature—typically a centerpiece model—with a full scenic composition. They share a 50mm footprint, which is large enough to add height, texture, and narrative context without overwhelming the miniature itself. Each base comes unpainted and ready for your own basing, painting, and weathering techniques.
Key differences in theme and detail
The Victorian Ruin base focuses on broken masonry, cracked stonework, creeping roots, and shattered architecture—ideal for a Malifaux city scene where buildings are already falling apart. The Graveyard base provides leaning headstones, churned earth, skulls, bones, and half-buried coffins, creating a haunted cemetery atmosphere. The Asian Shrine base features weathered stone and shrine architecture, offering a solemn, dramatic setting with strong vertical and surface detail.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Victorian Ruin 50mm Base: Best for centerpiece models set in a crumbling city. The broken masonry and roots add height and texture, but the theme is strongly urban and may not suit natural or spiritual scenes.
- Graveyard 50mm Base: Best for undead, horror, or death-themed miniatures. The headstones and bones create instant narrative, but the cemetery look can be restrictive for non-ghoulish models.
- Asian Shrine 50mm Base: Best for solemn, spiritual, or Eastern-themed centerpieces. The shrine architecture offers strong vertical and surface detail, but the style may clash with purely Western or industrial scenes.
