I am looking to magnetize the bottoms of my Frostgrave and Bolt Action Miniatures. Right now, I use photo mounting magnets that I cut out from the dollar store.

Are there companies that make them pre-made for 25mm rounds? So far, I have found LITKO. Anyone know of others?

This is for transporting miniatures in metal tool boxes. link

Shogun Miniatures is my go to for mag bases.

I use strips cut from 10mm wide magnetic tape. A piece about 20mm x 10mm plus one about 5mm x 10mm is normally enough.

Gale Force 9 do them too I think.

That's great so far. I did not know about Shogun and I forgot that Gale Force 9 does them too.

I went through the online store and could not find them on GF9 though.

Shogun makes excellent stuff. I just ordered some movement trays this weekend.

Litko makes magnetic bases in many sizes, and if they don't already make 25mm round, I'm sure they easily can. They are closed for now due to the Covid-19 mess.

Magnet Valley. They sell on ebay, too.

Shogun Miniatures are the best -- great quality, great prices and will customize bases to the size you like. I just received another large order from Shogun this week and I have never been disappointed by anything that I have purchased from the company.

I think the Coritani are magnetic discs designed to adhere under a figure base rather than an actual base.

I do make magnetic bases (in the UK) but mine are all saw cut so circular ones are out.

I bought a leather punch. The 25mm bases I had needed a 24mm punch. I bought some cookie tins for storage.
