Magnetizing Games Workshop-style miniature bases is mainly a clearance and pull-strength problem. Low-profile 5 mm × 2 mm discs suit many plastic bases, while heavier or recessed models can need a different diameter, thickness or a flush-fit system. These nine current options cover common base and tray jobs.

Buying tips
- Test one base against your chosen tray before committing to an army-sized pack.
- Mark one magnet face with a pen and keep every base oriented the same way before gluing.
- Use a small amount of suitable adhesive or putty so the disc sits flat; a tilted magnet reduces contact with the tray.
