Why Use Self-Adhesive Magnets for Halo Flashpoint?
Halo Flashpoint features detailed miniatures that deserve safe transport and storage. Traditional magnetization methods require drilling into bases, which can:
- Damage scenic bases or pre-painted models
- Require specialized tools and steady hands
- Create permanent modifications you can't undo
- Take significant time for large armies
Peel-and-stick magnets solve all these problems. Simply peel the backing, press onto your base, and you're done. Your models will stay secure in magnetic cases during transport while remaining easy to remove for gameplay.
Step-by-Step: Magnetizing Halo Flashpoint Bases
What You'll Need
- Self-adhesive basing magnets (sized to match your bases)
- Magnetic transport case or steel sheet
- Clean, dry miniature bases
Installation Process
Step 1: Clean the bottom of your miniature base with a dry cloth to remove any dust or oils. The adhesive works best on clean surfaces.
Step 2: Select the correct magnet size for your base. Most Halo Flashpoint infantry use 25mm or 32mm round bases, while vehicles may use larger sizes.
Step 3: Peel the protective backing from your self-adhesive magnet.
Step 4: Center the magnet on the bottom of your base and press firmly for 5-10 seconds to ensure good adhesion.
Step 5: Wait 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before placing models in your transport case for maximum hold strength.
Choosing the Right Magnet Size
Match your magnet diameter to your base size for optimal coverage and holding power:
- 25mm bases: Use 25mm round magnets (standard infantry)
- 32mm bases: Use 32mm round magnets (larger infantry, heroes)
- 40mm bases: Use 40mm round magnets (elite units)
- Larger bases: Use corresponding sizes up to 160mm for vehicles

Pro Tips for Best Results
Surface preparation matters: Wipe bases with isopropyl alcohol for maximum adhesion on plastic or resin bases.
Test your case: Ensure your transport case has a steel sheet or magnetic surface. The magnets need direct contact with ferrous metal to work properly.
Consider weight: Heavier models (metal miniatures or large vehicles) may benefit from using the largest magnet that fits your base for extra holding power.
Storage tip: Store unused magnets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these work on textured or scenic bases?
A: Yes! As long as the bottom of the base is relatively flat, the adhesive will bond securely. The flat-bottomed design ensures maximum contact area.
Q: Can I remove and reposition the magnet?
A: You can carefully remove magnets shortly after application, but adhesive strength increases over 24 hours. For best results, position correctly the first time.
Q: How strong is the hold?
A: Our self-adhesive magnets provide excellent holding power for standard gaming miniatures when used with proper magnetic cases. They're designed specifically for tabletop wargaming transport.
