YOUR MINIATURES. THEIR WORLD.

Miniature photography backdrops

You painted the miniature.
Give it somewhere to stand.

Turn a corner of your hobby desk into a scene. Five matching, physically printed backgrounds for 28–32 mm miniatures, terrain and the occasional model that deserves more than a paint rack behind it.

Rigid matte card · Phone & camera friendly · Sets from £9

Phone photographing miniatures with a printed lava backdrop and scenic floor on a wooden desk
The wider view: a backdrop behind the models, a scenic surface in front, and a phone.

BUILT FOR REAL HOBBY DESKS

Less paint rack.
More little world.

Stand a board behind your miniature, lower the camera to model height and move a lamp around. Suddenly you have a small scene instead of a model on a cutting mat.

We have tried these backgrounds with a camera and a mobile phone, studio lights and a desk lamp. The matte surface helps reduce reflections; the rigid card keeps the scene flat.

Support the panel with a book stand or clamp. Add terrain or a matching floor tile if you want the scene to continue beneath the model.

WHAT ARRIVES IN THE POST

Five backdrops. Your choice of foreground.

SAME HOBBY. DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE.

A battle scene. A character portrait.
An excuse to get the camera out.

Scenic backgrounds for army showcases, character portraits and narrative battle photos. These examples use backdrops from our range; each product page shows the five designs included in that set.

Winged daemon and armoured miniatures in a battle scene with red lighting and a devastated landscape backdrop
A whole battle in the frame. Terrain, a distant horizon and warm lighting create the atmosphere.
Painted ork character framed by foreground terrain and a softly blurred ruined-city backdrop
One model, plenty of character. Get down to eye level and give the miniature some space.
Painted armoured infantry with cool lighting against a softly blurred scenic backdrop
Bring it back to the paint job. A closer crop and a softer background keep the squad in focus.

NO STUDIO REQUIRED

How to photograph miniatures with a backdrop.

A phone, a lamp and a little experimenting will get you started. Your product page includes more tips for lighting and composition.

Look at the desk setup ↑
  1. Give the background some space

    Start with the board roughly 5–30 cm behind your model. Adjust until it fills the frame without distracting from the miniature.

  2. Get down to model height

    Look across the scene rather than down at the desk. Tap the miniature to focus if you are using a phone.

  3. Light the miniature first

    Move a lamp to the side and experiment. Let the backdrop sit a little darker so the model remains the focus.

  4. Watch the edges

    Use a closer crop, scenic ground or scatter terrain to hide where the board ends. Step back and try your phone’s optical zoom, if available.

BEFORE YOU PICK A SCENE

A few useful answers.

Are these physical backdrops or downloadable images?

Physical backdrops. You receive five printed rigid matte-card panels, each 14 × 10.5 in (approximately 36 × 27 cm). There is nothing to download or print at home.

What size of miniatures are they made for?

They are designed around 28–32 mm tabletop miniatures and gaming terrain. They work for character photos, small groups and composed scenes. For taller models or wider groups, check the 36 × 27 cm panel dimensions against your framing; camera angle and distance affect how much background you need.

Can I use them for Warhammer miniature photography?

Yes. Use them with miniatures at the scales common to Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, Necromunda and other tabletop games. Pick a scene that suits your models and basing. These are independent 2D6.UK products, not official or licensed accessories for those games.

Do I need a special camera, lightbox or stand?

A phone and a desk lamp are enough to start experimenting. Support the backdrop with a suitable book stand or clamp. A stand, lighting and miniatures are not included.

What does the optional floor tile add?

A matching printed surface beneath the miniature, so the scene continues from background to foreground. Choose Backdrops + Floor Tile on your selected design’s product page for five panels plus one 14 × 14 in floor tile. The standard set contains the five backdrop panels only.

Can I use my own terrain or gaming mat?

Yes. Place the backdrop behind your existing scenery or scenic base. Many designs also have a matching 2D6 Gaming Mat; individual product pages link to the matching battlefield.

How do delivery and returns work?

We dispatch from the UK. Check our delivery information for current destinations, costs and estimated timings, and our returns and refunds policy before ordering.
