Magnetic Basing Instructions

by

The Wargames Table has a very useful article on making magnetic basing. Using a magnetic system can be useful both for movement trays and for transport.

I’ve also found that I can paint the magnetic vinyl with no loss of magnetism. So, my movement trays have a green surface onto which the figure bases stick.
