ROUND MAGNET FOR BASES Ø32mm (36 units)

The 32 mm base that everyone is moving to

The round base of thirty-two millimeters diameter has become the unwritten standard of tabletop games over recent years, and a good many collectors are therefore moving an older collection off smaller discs. Once a figure is standing on a new base, that is the best moment to glue a magnet into its bottom as well, because nobody will feel like doing the same work a second time.

The package contains thirty-six pieces. The number matches how many discs of this diameter come out of a sheet, and in practice it means a medium-sized group in one go. You will notice the difference against unmagnetized figures at the first carry, when the group stops sliding around the bottom of the box as you walk.

When rebasing, think about the order

Seat the figure on the new base and fill the gaps first, and only then get to the bottom. Modeling putty works slightly as it cures and could push a freshly glued disc out of plane. A difference of a few tenths of a millimeter is enough for a figure to stand on one edge only on a steel sheet and to rock at a touch.

If the putty reaches right through to the bottom of the base, let it harden and feather the surface flat with a scalpel so that the disc sits down evenly. The leftover pieces are useful under home-made terrain parts, which can then be arranged and taken apart on a steel board without shifting. They serve just as well under tokens and status markers, which during a game most often disappear under the table and are then hunted for in the carpet.
