I'm probably going to base some 15mm medieval figures individually on round MDF bases. I noticed that you can get them pre-drilled for magnets (I'm assuming the small rare earth ones by the size of the hole). I can see it being potentially useful for transport/storage and even movement trays. I never seen it done! So is it actually useful enough to justify the cost of the magnets?

I've done it with figures and buildings.

Works a treat.

Storage, assuming magnetic or steel lined boxes, movement trays using sabots with compatible magnets, sometimes with magnetic coins (1p and 2p).

I'll find my blog postings and let you see.

Anyway thanks for the info
