Collection: Magnets for Warhammer Bases

The right magnet for every base — sized, not guessed. Our basing magnets are precision-manufactured to sit flush inside standard Games Workshop beveled bases without putty, shimming, or sanding. The 2.2mm and 2.6mm heights are engineered specifically to match standard GW base depths — a detail generic magnet sellers ignore entirely.

Note: Some decorative or textured bases from Games Workshop have non-standard internal depths and may not sit flush with these magnets. For those bases, our self-adhesive flexible magnets are a better option.

Use these N52 neodymium magnets to secure your miniatures to magnetic movement trays, metal-lined cases, Really Useful Boxes, Magna Racks, or any ferrous transport surface. One or two magnets per infantry model is all you need at this strength grade.

Quick base-to-magnet sizing for Warhammer 40K & Age of Sigmar:

25mm and 28mm bases use 4.5mm × 2.2mm (Medium Flush-Fit). 32mm through 100mm round and 60mm through 120mm oval bases use the Thick Flush-Fits (2.6mm thick). Mediums are better for delicate models, Large Thicks for heavier and sturdier models. 130mm, 160mm round, and 170mm oval bases use 6mm × 2mm (Large Thin) — 2 to 4 magnets depending on model weight.

Warhammer: The Old World uses inverted sizing from 40K — 25mm Old World bases use Medium Thick (4.5mm × 2.6mm), while cavalry and monster bases use Medium (4.5mm × 2.2mm) with 2 magnets for cavalry and 3 for monsters.

We also carry pre-magnetized bases and self-adhesive flexible magnets for clear skimmer bases, flat-bottomed scenic resin bases, and decorative GW bases.

If you're new to base magnetization, our step-by-step guide covers every technique — from the flipped-base-on-metal trick to using Magnicators for zero-glue-on-fingers application.

Stop buying random magnets that are too tall, too short, or too weak. These are the magnets the hobby community recommends for a reason.

FAQ

Q: What size magnets for Warhammer 40K bases?

A: For standard beveled bases: 25mm and 28mm use 4.5mm × 2.2mm flush-fit magnets. 32mm through 100mm round and 60mm–120mm ovals use the 2.6mm thick flush-fits. 130mm, 160mm round, and 170mm oval bases need 6mm × 2mm. For The Old World, sizing is inverted — 25mm bases use 2.6mm thick, cavalry and monsters use 2.2mm. Some decorative GW bases have non-standard depths — use our self-adhesive flexible magnets for those. All flush-fit magnets are N52-grade.
