Base Magnets for Warmachine & Hordes
Warmachine and Hordes models sit on round bases at 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, and 120mm. Sizing the base magnet to each plate keeps every warjack, warbeast, and unit locked to a magnetic miniature case during transport. The recommendations below match base size to a flush-fit N52 disc, with a 50mm peel-and-stick option for hobbyists who prefer no drilling.
30mm and 40mm bases
Use the Medium 4.5mm x 2.2mm flush-fit disc. The cavity in standard Warmachine and Hordes 30mm and 40mm bases is sized for this magnet, and the disc seats clean without sanding.

50mm and 120mm bases
Two flush-fit options here, picked by model weight. Medium Thick holds lighter warjacks and most 120mm plates. Large Thick adds extra pull for heavier warjacks and colossals where transport jostling is a concern.

50mm peel-and-stick option (no drilling)
The 50mm Peel & Stick Inner Base Magnet adheres to the underside of the base with no drill required. Wipe the plastic with a touch of isopropyl alcohol, peel the backing, press the magnet flat, and let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before loading the model into a transport case.

Magnetize the Warjack Weapons and Heads
Base magnets lock the model to a transport tray. Magnetizing the weapon and head swaps is a separate job, and the MKIV warjacks and warbeasts are built for it. The Magnet Baron N52 kit seats 3/16" and 1/8" discs straight into the pre-drilled cavities. Check the per-model magnet counts, or add the kit here.

Safety Notes
Keep away from animals and small children. Swallowed neodymium magnets can pinch through intestinal walls and cause serious injury. Store spares in a sealed container away from pets and kids.
Brittle. Neodymium magnets are more brittle than glass. Do not let two magnets snap together at full speed; cushion the impact between paper or fabric, or chip damage will follow.
