Moving big block of troops (especially for Warhammer) can be awkward, even with movement trays. A slightly inclined hill or a top-heavy mini like a metal standard bearer can easily tip over, causing mayhem among the rest of the unit. This problem is easily solved by constructing your own magnetic move trays. There's a bit of work involved, but it's an easy project for anybody who's managed to assemble a whole army. Follow the link for the lavishly-illustrated step-by-step tutorial. It's really written with Warhammer players in mind, but I imagine that the technique would be useful for any game that uses a lot of ranked troops.
