🔄 What Are Square to Rectangle Base Converters?

These precision FDM 3D printed adapters let you place any square-based miniature directly onto a rectangle base — no glue, no damage, no permanent changes. Perfect for players bringing classic square-based Warhammer Fantasy armies into Warhammer: The Old World, Kings of War, or any rank-and-flank system using rectangular bases. Add the converter before the game, remove it after — your models never change.

🎮 Why Do You Need These Converters?

❌ The Challenge

Classic Warhammer Fantasy armies were built on square bases. Games like The Old World require rectangle bases for cavalry, chariots, and monsters — leaving players with a difficult choice: rebase everything (costly and risky) or stop using beloved painted models. Neither is acceptable.

✅ Our Solution

Drop your square-based model into the converter. It sits precisely, holds securely, and the whole thing is fully reversible. Switch back to your old game in seconds. Your miniatures are never touched, never damaged, never permanently changed.

🔧 How It Works — 3 Simple Steps

📦

Step 1 — Choose Your Size

Select the converter matching your model's current square base and your target rectangle output.

🔄

Step 2 — Place Your Model

Drop the square-based model into the converter. No tools, no glue, no hassle — precision fit holds it firmly.

🎨

Step 3 — Optionally Paint

PLA takes paint beautifully. Match your existing basing style for a fully seamless, professional result.

⚔️

Step 4 — Game On!

Your models are ready on perfect rectangle bases. Remove the converter after the game in seconds.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to remove my models from their original square bases?

No — that's the whole point. Your models stay on their square bases. The square base simply sits inside the converter, which provides the rectangle footprint required by the game.

Will the square base fit securely inside the converter?

Yes. Each converter is precision-engineered for a snug, secure fit. Models won't rock or slide during gameplay. If you have any doubts about fit, message us with your base dimensions and we'll advise before you order.

Can I paint the converters to match my basing?

Absolutely. The PLA surface primes and paints excellently with both spray primer and brush-applied acrylics. Many players texture and paint their converters to create a fully seamless look with their existing bases.

Are these tournament legal for Warhammer: The Old World?

These converters produce the exact rectangle base sizes specified in The Old World rules and are widely accepted at events. We always recommend checking the specific guidelines for your tournament organiser.

Do these work with Hobby Heaven movement trays?

Yes — full OBS compatibility means your converted models drop directly into our matching movement trays with no modifications needed.

I have an unusual base size — can you make a custom converter?
