The world of Warhammer has some fantastic miniatures available. Both Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40K offer a huge variety of big bads to take up space on the tabletop. Choosing your favourite can be a daunting task. So here at Chit Hot, we’ve compiled our list of the seven best Warhammer: Age of Sigmar centrepieces available to lead you into battle.
Whether it’s hobbying or battling, everyone loves those big centrepiece models dominating their space. Intricacy of building and painting. The domination on the battlefield. Or even the lore behind these miniatures; each and every one has something worthy of investing your time into.
Warhammer: Age of Sigmar has dozens of such models available. As such, picking just seven was a difficult task. However, ultimately there has to be some winners, and some losers. Pour one out for my beloved Verminlord Deceiver.
7 Best Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Centrepieces
Great Unclean One/Rotigus
Nurgle’s mightiest daemons. The Great Unclean Ones tower over their enemies. Rotting flesh lumbering across the battlefield, swinging their rusted weapons, vomiting streams of filth and disease. No one ever said Great Unclean Ones are good dinner guests.
The model kit is an impressive centrepiece. However, it can also be used to build special character Rotigus. What’s more, there’s a battalion available in the Maggotkin of Nurgle Battletome featuring three of these beasts. Not sure if that’s an investment worth making, but if you’ve got the time and money who are we to judge?
Nagash
Supreme Lord of the Undead. The father of necromancy. Generally all-round nice bloke. Nagash was resurrected by a dark ritual as the immortal Lord of Death, and makes for an awe-inspiring centerpiece.
Fitting snuggly into any Grand Alliance Death army, Nagash is equipped with an array of precious artifacts. You can build the model with either Alakanash, the Staff of Power or Zefet-nebtar, the Mortis Blade. He also has a penchant for big fancy hats.
Ushoran
The newest bad boy on the streets, Ushoran falls under Nagash’s command. That doesn’t mean he’s any lesser on the table however, and certainly no less impressive a centrepiece.
Ushoran is one of the very first vampires. He is the father of abhorrants, and the origin of the accursed delusions that envelop the Flesh-eater Courts. His very presence can reduce mortals to slavering insanity and escalate the mania of his ghoul servants to terrifying heights. Chances are, your tabletop opponents are going to fall into that first category.
Kragnos
Are you playing against a Grand Alliance Destruction player? Do yourself a favour: don’t buy them Kragnos as a gift.
The kit is comprised of 74 plastic components. Multiple options are given for assembly, including three different faces and two poses for his neck and head (one looking left, while the other looks right). It’s an impressive centrepiece for sure, but even more so when taken into battle. Kragnos is near-impossible to remove from the tabletop, rampaging through whatever battleline you’ve commanded to be sent to their death.
King Brodd
On the subject of big Grand Alliance Destruction guys, they don’t get much bigger than King Brodd.
The infamous King Brodd is legendary priest-king blessed with mystic wisdom. Adorned with a draconic skull-helm and massive tusk-pauldrons, King Brodd overshadows even his fellow Mega-Gargants. The multipart plastic kit builds King Brodd, the undisputed leader of the Mega-Gargants, but can also be used to build a range of other characters.
Archaon
Officially one of the tallest centrepieces in Warhammer: Age of Sigmar – does that make it the best?
There are rumours that he was once a devoted Acolyte of Sigmar. A warrior priest battling against the minions of Chaos. However, he was driven mad and turned against his master. After defeating gruelling trials he adopted the name Archaon and bent his knee to the Chaos Gods. They in turn favoured him, providing an unnaturally extended lifespan and power. He became their greatest warrior and General to their vast armies. Pretty cool, huh? Oh, and a three-headed dragon thing, too.
Morathi
Why have one centrepiece model, when you can have two? The High Oracle of Khaine, Morathi’s aelven form, and The Shadow Queen, her true, monstrous form.
The High Oracle of Khaine is an icily beautiful figure. She wears ornate leather and metal armour. In a gloved hand she holds her magical spear, Heartrender. The Shadow Queen is another prospect entirely – standing almost 3 times taller and posed in a far more aggressive manner, this miniature will make a splendid centrepiece for any Daughters of Khaine collector.
Krondys/Karazai
A happy looking dragon, Krondys is a potent mystical force on the battlefield. He’s capable of unleashing debilitating storms on command. Nice. But still, his magical might is matched by his prowess in melee, able to sweep entire regiments from the battlefield and burn enemies to ash with draconic fire.
Much like the Great Unclean One kit, this multipart plastic kit can be assembled into either Krondys, Son of Dracothion, or prince Karazai the Scarred.
