Hi all,

I'd like to introduce the Wath Wargames army display stand. It is currently designed to hold an entire Imperial Guard platoon, as per the codex.



Plans are in place to make a wall mounted version.



And eventually other armies like the dual battle company Space Marine display.



Any questions/suggestion please speak up.

I would suggest that if you put these into production, you offer buyers the chance to configure their own stands. For example choose the tray or wall mounted configurations you have just shown. Then choose what flat pieces go into them.

Eg I see what seem to be boards making up the stand, some with 10 25mm slots, some with 2 60mm slots. Offer boards cut for 25mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm bike base size, some sort of general vehicle size etc. Just allow every customer to work out what they need for their models and then buy 24 boards of their choice to fill out the stand. (24 is just a guess based on those pictures; however many the stand contains)

Hope that helps. An example for this system is Kaiser Rushforth and the options they offer for a selection of different cut and thickness foam trays, all fitting into the same cardboard cases.


This is most likely the way things will go.

Nevelon, it's not restricted to circular cut outs only. Plain shelves or tank spaces can be done.

Have you made a test-rack yet? The design looks not to sturdy as it is right now. I am afraid that it will not hold together well. It would be better if you could show pictures of an actual product, even if its just a prototype.

How wide are the shelves? Will you fit flyerbases? Big vehicles like Land Raiders?

What about material? MDF?


Waiting on the prototype but should have it early next week. It will be MDF. I agree the image doesn't look like it would be all that sturdy, because of that I've added extra support to it but not updated the original image. The shelves are 24" wide and 3" deep, if flyers fit then it will be an option soon.

You know I didn't even think of that Azazelx.

If someone can provide the dimensions of a Detolf cabinet there will be a stand to fit it tomorrow0.

Are the shelf heights adjustable?

What's the maximum I could go with the height?

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the Detolf version. Troop only shelves at the moment though. It is 30cm deep, 30cm high and 36cm wide.

So as it seems people want to see different layouts what do people want to see?

The shelves can hold up to 30 x 25mm bases 15 x 40mm and 6 x 60mm bases.

Yes there will be more variety added to the Kickstarter over the next couple of days.

The cut outs are standard GW size, however the layout is for an IG platoon. I will be adding cavalry bases soon.

The Detolf version will be going on the kickstarter once I get a price back for production. Hopefully today though.

Any other questions?

I've also edited the KS to show that it is the layout that is only IG not the whole stand.

Just got the prototype home. I'll look in to your suggestion though

It's not a mock up in photoshop, it's a photo that was taken in my living room but all signs of my living room have been removed.

For those who still doubt I have a prototype made -

The Detolf stand has now been added to the KS as reward but in MDF only.

I'll get a weight for it later today but it's not that heavy when flat packed.

Final parts arrived so I was able to get the bare frame put together.





Oh and a Cavalry shelf.



I'm also going to be adding the option to buy individual components via the kickstarter so that people can customise their display.

I'd be very interested if you made cutouts for Warmachine sized 30/40/50mm base slots I'd be all up on that to put in my Detolf


These will be added soon.

It does look real nice, as I said offer it for the 30/40/50 mil bases and you nearly double your audience. Same with the stand choices.


These will be on the next KS

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the Wath Wargames Kickstarter relaunch - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/561179656/wath-wargames-figure-display-stands

they will be added to the list of available shelves this weekend. just need to research the best layouts for them.
Made in gb
Been Around the Block




Yeah, the Detolf shelf layouts will be added over the weekend.

The magnet idea has been considered but as they are laser cut a 3mm x 1mm hole is expensive to engrave. We are however looking at 1mm thick magnetic sheets between the 2 shelf components.

It is with great pleasure that I stand (I'm actually sitting) here today and announce that less than 24 hours after the relaunch we have reach our target of £900.
