Ordering & Products
What are Blitz Bases?
Resin-printed bases for fantasy football miniatures, with tags that clip into the rim. Each base carries the player’s positional, number and skills, so you can tell who’s who across the pitch. When a player picks up a new skill, pop the old tag out and clip the new one in.
What sizes do you offer?
32mm for most players and 40mm for big guys like Trolls, Ogres and Treemen, each with tags to match. A Blitz Builder squad includes 1 big-guy base (2 from 14 players). Each one after that is £2.00, up to 6 in all. A Full Squad includes 2, and if the team fields more, they are already in the price.
How many players come in a set?
A Full Squad is a set roster of 16 players for £30. In the Blitz Builder you pick the size, anywhere from 10 to 16 players, and the price goes from £30 to £40 as you add them. You can also rename any player for free there. The name prints on the base where the positional would go, and the player keeps that position’s stats and skills.
What are progress tags, and how much are extra ones?
Starting skills are always included, up to four tags on each base, at no extra cost. Every squad also comes with free progress tags for the skills your players earn: 8 on a 10-player squad, rising to 16 at 16 players. That covers roughly a 10-game league season, and teams with few starting skills get a few extra. For more, add them by the sprue: +8 = £3.00, +16 = £5.50, +24 = £8.00 (up to +24). The bigger the step, the less each tag costs, and every step is cheaper than buying separate sprues. The free tags top out at 16, one full skill sprue. Want stats under every base as well? Stat bases are £0.50 a player, for the whole squad or none.
What are Skill Sprues?
Sprues of skill tags on their own, for when your players level up mid-season, a tag goes missing, or you want spares of the skills you always take. Make one in the Skill Builder, in 32mm or 40mm.
32mm: 6 = £3.00 · 8 = £4.00 · 12 = £6.00 · 16 = £8.00 · 24 = £12.00
40mm: 6 = £2.00 · 12 = £3.60 · 18 = £5.00
If you’re buying a squad anyway, adding progress tags to it costs less per tag (+8 = £3.00 · +16 = £5.50 · +24 = £8.00), so add the skills you know you’ll want then.
What are Special Player bases?
A one-off base for a special player. Choose 32mm (£3.50) or 40mm (£4.00), give your special player a name, and pick any 4 skills you like. Special players aren’t tied to a team or position the way squad players are. Every Blitz Base holds four skills round the rim, and a 40mm special player’s sprue comes with a fifth tag as a spare. Buy 5 and get 20% off. Make yours in the Special Player Builder.
Where do you ship to?
For now we ship to UK addresses only. Shipping is a flat rate per order, chosen at checkout: Royal Mail Tracked 48 £3.95 or Tracked 24 £5.95, and Tracked 48 is free on orders over £40. UK orders never carry import tax or customs charges.
Europe is on the way. We’re sorting out the paperwork that selling into the EU needs before we open it up. If you’re outside the UK and want to know when, or you’re after a league or tournament package, get in touch.
Can I get a refund or replacement?
Anything from our builders, or with names or choices of your own, is printed to your specification, so we can’t take change-of-mind returns on it. Please check your team, names, sizes and skills before paying. If you spot a mistake, contact us straight away: if printing hasn’t started we’ll tell you whether it can still be changed. Ready-made items that aren’t personalised can be returned within 14 days of delivery. If anything arrives damaged, faulty or wrong, we’ll replace it or refund you. See our terms for the details.
Your Miniatures & the Base
How do I rebase my miniature onto a Blitz Base?
Take the miniature off its old base: a hobby knife or a razor saw through the tab or the feet does it. File the feet flat, then glue the model onto the top of the Blitz Base with superglue. Paint and flock the top to suit your team before the tags go in, and go easy round the tag slots, because thick paint there can affect how the tags fit.
My team is already based. Do I have to rebase it?
No. Choose the Blitz Mount. It is a slightly bigger base with a flat top, and you stick each miniature’s existing 32mm or 40mm base on top of it, so there is nothing to cut off. It costs the same as the Blitz Base. Choose it for a squad in the Blitz Builder or for a special player in the Special Player Builder; Full Squads come on the Blitz Base. Its tags are its own: they don’t swap with the Blitz Base’s.
Do Blitz Base tags fit the Blitz Mount?
No. Blitz Mount tags don't fit the Blitz Base, and Blitz Base tags don't fit the Blitz Mount. They clip in the same way, but the face, the slope and the height of the tags are different. So when you buy tags on their own, from the Skill Builder, a tag pack or blank tags, choose the base they are for.
What is the textured top?
Every Blitz Base comes with a textured top as standard: fine grit, small pebbles and a few stones, printed into the top and ready to paint and flock. The middle is kept gentle so your miniature’s feet have somewhere to sit, and no two tops in a squad are alike. Rather have it smooth? Choose a plain top instead, at the same price.
Builders & Tools
What is the Blitz Builder?
The Blitz Builder is where you make your own squad of 10 to 16 players. Start from any team’s Full Squad or from nothing, add positionals from any team, rename players for free, and create up to 6 positionals of your own, with your own stats and up to 4 skills each. Pick your progression tags and add the squad to your basket. We print exactly what you built.
What is the Skill Builder?
The Skill Builder makes a sprue of skill tags on their own. Choose which base the tags are for (the Blitz Base or the Blitz Mount, since their tags don’t swap) and the size, 32mm or 40mm, then pick the skills you want from any category.
What is the Special Player Builder?
The Special Player Builder makes single bases for special players. Choose 32mm or 40mm, name your special player and pick any skills you like. A squad player’s skills come with their position, but a special player has no team or position limits. Every 5 special player bases in your basket get 20% off automatically.
Are your skill lists up to date?
Yes. The builders carry the current skill list, Devious skills included, and every skill on it is available as a tag in both the Blitz Builder and the Skill Builder. When the rules change, we update the list.
What is the Blitz Tracker?
A free game clock for fantasy football matches, a chess clock that also counts turns. Tap to end your turn, log touchdowns, casualties, KOs and turnovers as they happen, play overtime, and see the stats turn by turn when the game’s over. It works on your phone.
What is the Roster Builder?
Keeps your league team in order: each player’s stats, SPP, skill-ups and injuries, with a post-game walkthrough for levelling players up.
What is the League Manager?
Runs a league for you. Set one up, invite the other coaches, make a round-robin fixture list, enter results as games are played, watch the table update, and run the playoffs at the end.
Can I save my build and come back later?
Yes. Builds are saved in your browser for 30 days. Roster Builder and League Manager data is saved to your account while you’re signed in.
Can I edit my order after adding it to my basket?
Yes. Click the Edit button on any builder item in your basket to jump back into the builder with all your selections restored. Make your changes and update your basket.
Printing & Quality
What material are the bases printed in?
Resin, not filament. Bases are printed in Sunlu 14K Black and miniatures in Wargamer resin. Resin holds fine detail and comes out smooth, and the tags are made to stand up to regular league and tournament play while still coming in and out of the slots easily.
How long does it take to make my order?
Every order is printed for you. Allow about 3 days before it ships, then 3–5 days for delivery, depending on how busy we are. We’ll email you the tracking details when it goes out.
What if a tag is damaged or missing?
Get in touch with your order number and tell us what’s wrong. If you just need a few new tags, the Skill Builder is usually quickest, because you can order exactly the ones you need.
Can I paint the bases and tags?
Yes. Cured resin takes primer and acrylics like any resin miniature, and paint sticks best over a light spray of primer. The textured top is there to be painted and flocked. Keep paint thin round the tag slots, because a thick coat can stop the tags fitting.
Are the bases a standard size?
Yes. The Blitz Base is a true 32mm or 40mm round, so it fits on a pitch and in movement trays like any other base of that size. The Blitz Mount is a little wider, about 33.4mm and 41.7mm across, because its flat top takes your miniature’s own 32mm or 40mm base.
