40x30mm 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 40x30mm.

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.

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.

For all my miniature wargaming I use 15mm scale basing similar to DBM which is all 40mm wide rectangles. These 3mm plywood miniature bases in 15, 20, 30 and 40mm depths (rectangular and round) are consistent, precise and ready to be painted and terrained. Perfect my needs.
I also use bigger 40 and 80mm bases to mount 28mm individual RPG figures, scenes, dragons and other large creatures.

Thick bases, thick bases, that’s what I want! Fortunately, LITKO has them and I avoid grabbing my miniatures by the p***ty ends and getting stabbed, or bending spears.

This was the latest of many past purchases. The bases are excellent, that's why I continue to purchase.

For light cavalry bases. Totally fits the bill!

Litko is my place to go for bases. Reasonably priced and arrived promptly. Can't go wrong with 3mm plywood bases for 15mm.

David Guinn

I find Litko to be the "go to" place for bases and occasionally paints. They are quick and reliable!

W
William Hardaway

The wooden bases were of excellent quality and the service was prompt and accurate. The game aids were reasonably priced and accurately shown. I must have ordered the wrong torpedo markers as they were smaller than I anticipated.
Overall I was well pleased by the products and service.

Perfect cuts… everything lines up nicely.

I Received these bases which i prefer as being thin which is less obtrusive on the table, but thick enough that units in mass can be neatly displayed in formations

Accurate and quick turn around on my order. The bases really look good with my 15mm Napoleonic Prussians of 1806.

Great service, order correct, arrived quickly. Measurement sticks for DNM/R are really great, would only be better if they had 16 cm (4 increments on one side... But can't have everything. So many thanks and future order coming soon!

I was attempting to base my DBA units on an accurate metal base I could add my vinyl magnetic material to. I probably should have checked before ordering. What I got was a very flexible vinyl like material much like the mag vinyl I use. Except, non-magnetic.What should I have ordered? I currently use a 1/16 inch (close) thick styrene.

Most of my miniature armies use these bases. Several thicknesses, magnets if you need them. Different shapes. Have I ever had even one base fall apart or be poorly cut-I can't think of one.
