I'm looking for steel metal bases to use as sabots under troops on magnetic bases. So the thinner the better, basically, though they should be thick enough to keep their shape.

40x40mm squares in the first instance, though it'd be nice if other DBX-style sizes were also available.

It'd be a bonus if they were possible to purchase from inside the European Union, so as to avoid customs delays and charges.

Just buy Danish Cookies in big metal boxes or something similar and you get enough material for metal bases.

Thanks, but while I wouldn't say I'm exactly money rich, I'm definitely time poor, so I'm looking for a ready-made solution.

Wargames Accessories makes them and sells them Scale Creep Miniatures and Old Glory 15s sells them, but they are in the US. I have used them for years. Don't know if they about inside the EU. Good luck!
