Which Graveyard Base Size Fits Your Crew?
Wyrdscapes Graveyard bases turn your miniatures into part of a grim Malifaux scene, but the 30mm and 40mm versions serve different display needs. The right choice depends on your miniature's base size, the level of scenic detail you want, and how much visual weight you want the base to carry without overwhelming the model.
At a Glance: 30mm vs 40mm Graveyard Bases
- Wyrdscapes: Graveyard 30mm Bases: 5 30mm plastic themed bases with inserts. Grave markers, broken earth, bones, and burial debris create a complete scene beneath every miniature. The 30mm size fits standard infantry and most 30mm-based miniatures, giving each model a detailed graveyard plot without stealing focus.
Wyrdscapes: Graveyard 30mm Bases - Wyrdscapes: Victorian Ruin 40mm Bases: 2 40mm plastic themed bases with inserts. Broken masonry, cracked stonework, creeping roots, and shattered architecture give larger models a bold urban setting. The 40mm base offers more surface area for architectural ruin details, ideal for larger models or heroes that need a more substantial scenic stage.

Key Differences Between 30mm and 40mm Graveyard Bases
Both bases are unpainted plastic and may require cleaning and assembly before use. Your main decision is about scale and scene density.
- Number of Bases per Pack: The 30mm pack contains 5 bases, giving you enough for a full crew or squad. The 40mm pack includes 2 bases, better suited for key models or unit leaders.
- Scene Detail and Density: 30mm bases focus on graveyard elements: headstones, bones, coffins, and churned earth. 40mm bases add architectural ruin elements like broken masonry and roots, creating a more complex urban-ruin scene.
- Miniature Fit and Visual Balance: 30mm bases match standard miniature footprints and keep the base as a subtle backdrop. 40mm bases suit larger models (e.g., 40mm champion bases) and provide a more prominent scenic foundation.
How to Choose Between 30mm and 40mm
If you're building a full crew of infantry-sized models, the 30mm Graveyard bases are the practical choice: you get five bases per pack, each packed with grave markers and burial debris that create a coherent graveyard theme across your entire force. For larger models, such as champions or monsters, the 40mm Victorian Ruin bases offer a broader canvas for architectural details, making each model a centerpiece.
Both sizes coordinate with other Wyrdscapes terrain, so you can mix them across a display for a unified Malifaux aesthetic. The supplied evidence does not confirm specific assembly steps, so plan to test-fit your miniatures and use standard plastic glue or pinning if needed.
