Games Workshop has a message for hobbyists everywhere: more skulls. And honestly, who are we to argue? Their latest Battlefield Trophies Kit is a treasure chest of grim goodies, packing 288 plastic bits to level up your basing game. From shattered helmets to piles of skulls—including some mutated ones—this kit is brimming with potential to bring your miniatures to life (or at least their battlefields).
Whether you’re crafting a story for a single model or looking to add narrative flair to an entire army, these bits are a golden ticket to bases that stand out in all the right ways. Let’s break down the skull-plastic details.
Add Some Flair with the New Battlefield Trophies Kit
If you’re a fan of miniature wargaming, you already know the power of a standout base. A good paint job is essential, sure, but it’s the details underfoot that can make a miniature truly memorable.
Now, there’s a new way to give your models that extra flair: the Battlefield Trophies Kit. Packed with over 280 plastic pieces (and plenty of DKoK skulls in there), it’s brimming with the kind of grim, gritty extras that make your miniatures feel like they’ve walked straight out of a battle narrative.
What’s in the Battlefield Trophies Kit Box?
This isn’t your standard bit box fare. The basing bits kit is a treasure trove of broken helmets, mangled weapons, scattered remains, and, yes, plenty of skulls for Warhammer 40k. You’ll find remnants from across the Warhammer 40,000 universe—Adeptus Custodes, Orks, Chaos Marines, Tyranids, and more.
It’s a one-stop shop for anyone looking to add a little extra drama to their miniatures. The real show-stealer? Over 150 skulls. But these aren’t just your run-of-the-mill noggins.
You’ve got human skulls, mutated versions, and even alien craniums ranging from T’au to Orks. There are also servo-skulls and damaged skulls, perfect for showing the aftermath of a hard-fought battle. For anyone who enjoys crafting a good battlefield scene, it’s like having your very own grisly library of options.
Crafting a Story on Every Base
Basing is about more than making your miniatures look good—it’s about adding context and depth. This kit is perfect for that. A crushed Space Marine helmet under the boot of a Chaos Champion tells a story of triumph.
A pile of Tyranid remains scattered across the base of an Imperial Knight adds weight to the idea of a hard-won victory. With so many pieces to choose from, you can tailor each base to suit the personality of your models or army.
Want to give your Ork Warboss some extra menace? Let him stomp over the remnants of a fallen rival. Have a Tyranid swarm? Scatter a trail of shredded human bones to show their destructive path. The possibilities are practically endless.
Beyond Basing: Let Your Imagination Run Wild
The Battlefield Trophies Kit isn’t just for bases. Kitbashers and customizers will find a goldmine of potential here. Use a damaged Custodes helmet as the centerpiece of a terrain piece. Add mutated skulls to Chaos vehicles for that extra touch of corruption. Even servo-skulls can be reimagined into scenery elements or converted into part of a character’s gear.
Final Thoughts on the New Warhammer 40k Basing Bits Kit
With such a broad selection, this kit feels like a love letter to all the storytellers in the miniature hobby. Each bit is a little piece of narrative just waiting to be brought to life. Whether you’re building a competitive army or a display piece, the Battlefield Trophies Kit gives you the tools to make your models as unique as your imagination.
