40mm square bases: common questions

Where can I check base sizes unit by unit?

Our Warhammer base size guide and Kings of War base size guide list 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 40mm.

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.

Litko has been a game-changer (lol) for my board game I am making. I was manually cutting balsa wood to make my bases for my armies. And I will eventually have 40, separate, armies. So it really cut down on my time to put out an army. I love it - they are my go-to for bases. Period. 10/10 recommend!

This is my standard base for most of my 28mm foot - I've used several hundreds of these for Napoleonics (usually 4 figs per base), Medievals and Ancients (3 figs per base). The quality and precision of these bases (actually all Litko products) are second to none - and the pricing and shipping can be beat either.

I like thick bases and I cannot lie, when I grab those bases my miniatures don’t cry! I pick’em up, and I put’em down, but I don’t crush’em because I’m not a clown!

These are my go to wargame bases. 3mm plywood is excellent. It is sturdy and does not warp when I apply basing material and paint.

Did I get the right product? Not steel. Flexible rubber, apparently non-magnetic. Sticky on one side.
