40x20mm rectangular bases: common questions

Where can I check base sizes unit by unit?

Our historical wargaming basing guide lists recommended base sizes by unit or creature type.

Should I choose bases or base bottoms?

Plywood and acrylic are the bases your miniature stands on. Magnet and flexible steel are base bottoms: thin, peel-and-stick layers that go under a base so it holds to steel- or magnet-lined storage and trays. Many players order both in 40x20mm.

Do you make other sizes?

Yes. See the related sizes below, or our miniature base sizes reference. For a size we don't stock, BaseMaker cuts any dimension you need.

Need a custom size or shape? Design it with LITKO BaseMaker, our online tool for custom bases.

Store them magnetized

Painted miniatures on magnet base bottoms held on a flexible steel liner inside a clear storage case The same storage case held upside down, the miniatures still stuck to the steel liner

Add a magnet base bottom and line any case with LITKO flexible steel sheet. Your minis stay put, even upside down.

Already storing on magnet sheet? Use flexible steel base bottoms instead: steel sticks to magnet with no polarity to match.

Useful for small-scale wargaming, especially if you're traveling a lot. Strong enthusiasm to stick to sheet metal, with enough of a low profile to not stand out and make your bases ugly.
