New products arrive!

Over the past couple of weeks I've ordered online or bought at retail a few things to enhance the appearance of my army.  The first thing I got was some of the Gale Force 9 magnetic bases.  They're not bad at around $10 for 25x of the 25mm size.  They're very thick, nearly twice that of a normal GW base out of the box.  The top is textured and on the bottom is a thick circular piece of magnetic sheet.  The magnetic force is pretty good, not good enough to attach it to a metal cabinet perpendicularly and have it stick, but it's definitely going to keep them from moving in a box if you have something on the bottom to attract them.  Aside from that, I recently found another alternative from LITKO Game Accessories.  Much, much cheaper for way more quantity.  They're quite a bit thinner but still hold up pretty well.  Rather than being an entire base, these are simply machine cut pieces of magnetic sheet that attach to the bottom of your standard bases.  This is nice if you've already got a lot of pieces and you don't want to rebase them.  You simply peel off the backing and stick it on!

A couple of coworkers and I ordered about 200x of the 25mm, 25x 60mm and 10x 40mm.  I've got enough of the 25mm to last a while, the 40s were just for my Termies and the 60s were for my Dreads and a friends Cadian HW teams.  Unfortunately the 60mm's don't match up with the bases so that was a bit disappointing.  The only other problem we had was that these are all custom ordered and produced.  Even if you order something standard like 25mm bases, they are cut to order so this means a little lead time on delivery.  In our case it meant a lot of lead time as we caught them at a bad time apparently and it took just over 30 days from the time of order until we had them in our hands.  Overall its a nice product, just don't expect to have them this weekend for a tournament if you order them today.
