Magnets are most effective when they touch the surface they're attracted to. In my experience using super glue, you will often find that magnets peel away from the base over time if they don't sit flush with the bottom of the base. My solution: lay down your metal or magnetic sheet, lay down a piece of parchment paper, snap your magnet on the surface, put a dollop of hot glue over the magnet, place your model base over the top of the magnet. Allow to dry fully and pull off the sheet. Your magnet will be perfectly flush with the surface, and the hot glue provides a better hold on the magnet since it holds the bottom and around the sides of the magnet!

If you're in the states and looking for something that'll work instead of the hard to find rubber steel, or magnetic receptive sheets, I've found that the most hardware stores will sell "galvanized steel flashing shingles" in 8in x 12in size. These are roofing shingles, but are basically thin steel plates, and hold magnets quite well. This leaves roughly a 1/2 inch gap around the shingle to the walls of the box, but that's fine as it gives a little padding room for shifting. Glue these to the inside of a really useful box and you're set. Plus side is that it holds magnetized miniature bases a lot stronger than rubbersteel does.

i've been doing this with the same brand of boxes, except i use sheet metal and hot glue to put the base down. they make larger size boxes, much larger. i actually use the 17L boxes and build a removeable sheet metal shelf halfway through to store my boys.

What I like about the Really Useful Boxes is they have straight sides. So you can also glue sheets on the sides of the box to attach taller minis that don't fit in the smaller box.

"Exactly how I store my minis at home" - Duncan. Wait wait, you have cases upon cases of knights magged to the floor of huge boxes. This needs pictures!

As a chaos player this is so great!! No more bent or broken spikey bits

It's great, I do the same thing, only difference is put the magnetic sheets inside the lid so the main box lifts off. Then you just store the boxes upside down. It makes it easy to access your minis safely and the really useful boxes still stack brilliantly.

1:57 for that extra space you could put a divider and put things like dice datacards and in a larger 9l box your codexes and pages (I haven't checked sizes yet).

This is how I do it too. Glad you've put it up on your channel as it will definitely help folks

Awesome, we're glad you like it and it helped :-)

Thanks for sharing Duncan. I hope this doesn't cause a rubber steel shortage though! A couple of tips to add as I've magnetised everything in the last year into these really useful boxes: - a hot glue gun for crafts works well for sticking the magnets to bases and gives the base a little more weight which is great for standing minis on slopes. - 1 a4 sheet on its own without the offcuts should also be enough to cover enough of the base if you put it centrally in the box. As long as you're not putting 25mm minis on the very edge it works well. - You can get self adhesive rubber steel sheets so don't need to worry about the glue. - You can stick a sheet to the underside of lids on the 9L box and hang infantry minis off the ceiling. I use N52 4x2mm neodyniums and a normal 32mm mini hangs fine. - Offcut strips placed on the underside of a lid with spacing serves well for keeping infantry in their units. Really good for tournaments where you can put them back as they die ready for the next game

Great video, I’ve been meaning to get into a 40k club after covid is gone and this is gonna help. This case also seems a lot more reliable than a foam one.

Duncan turning the box upside down with the models in it gives the same feeling as the DQ employee turning your Blizzard upside down. Brief panic followed by awe at how well it stays in place.

Another tip: if you only play skirmish games and such, you can use washers on the bases and glue the round magnets into the box.

This type of video is GOLD.

You can also buy ferrous and magnetic vinyl sheets of 62cm by 1/5/10m for larger boxes. I use a combination of those for plastic miniatures. 1 for the box and one for the figure base. Works fine as long as you don't tip the boxes too far. This also a great way of storing your miniatures in a cupboard for example.

Don't use magnet sheets, buy product that is basically powdered steel mixed with rubber. Name depends on country and translation but something like ferromagnetic sheets or foil. You can ofc use steel but it's harder to get by and I found this working really well and I think it's the same what Duncan uses. 0.5mm thickness is enough

I transport my army in my backpack, sometimes if i'm feeling fancy, a box inside my backpack

For anyone who wants a good shelf to store these in, Ikea's billy is the perfect size for these, you can have two stacks next to eachother with about a quarter of an inch of space, and if you get doors for the shelf it has about 1/8th of an inch of space from touching the door Its the perfect size for storing a bunch of these

This is exactly the same method I use, and I advocate for it everywhere. It's great, especially if you have fragile fighters with lots of bits that stick out. Another good use for offcuts is putting them on the sides of the box - very tall miniatures (Enlightened on Disk) or very short ones you might not always need (Brimstone Horrors) are great to put there, without needing taller boxes or using up space on the bottom.

I came across a small issue when I added these type of magnets to my IG Kill Team about a year ago. Sometimes when I'm playing, if the models get too close together, the magnetism is so strong it'll flip the models onto their sides as the magnets try to mash together from below. Especially awkward when trying to put them back in the positions they were in beforehand when now you have a magnet Katamari of minis. Maybe the magnet type was too strong. I'll try the ones you posted.

7:06 I just subconsciously blew on the glue to help it set 😭😭

Ok, word of warning, you NEED the same strength of magnets he uses here (5mm di x 2mm with 0.51kg Pull) for this to work with Magnet sheets. I got 3mm di x 2mm with 0.21kg pull to save money and they do stick with some models but none of them stayed when the box was tilted. However if you have an old biscuit/cookie tin (or used sheet metal I suppose) that would work with the weaker magnets. EDIT: You apparently also need the same grade of Magnetic sheets, the ones in the link are Strong Motorway Grade

These boxes definitely live up to their name. I personally use them for storing all my paints.

Awesome idea! I am absolutely using this!

Thanks Duncan, this is a great idea and really helpful.

I was wondering how to transport models for a painting competition, this is the perfect answer! Thanks Duncan

Just the video I needed. Thank you Duncan!

I just made something similar before seeing your video. I used very thin steel sheet from the local hardware store and 5x3mm magnets for a flush fit with good contact. Thanks for producing helpful hobby videos that extend beyond painting. Keep up the good work, Duncan!

This is really a great way to make a travel case, been doing it for years myself.

Simply amazing video!

Thank you for this! I may start doing this with my fantasy miniatures!

Thanks for this Duncan, worked out great for me! Great tip.

Thank you. Great stuff as always 🙂

Was genuinely surprised and pleased to find these exact plastic tubs - same brand and dimensions, from a store in Australia - it's rare we have the same stuff available here! - I have just ordered a few of them to do exactly this!

Great tip - I've been doing this for quite a while now with my Sylvaneth army. I like to also take a file or other sharp object and scuff the bottom of the base where I'll be gluing the magnet to get better adhesion.

I was first shown the really useful box range by someone I used to game with. Because the lids are flat however, they were really useful as model trays for units not on the table without having to hold a heavier box; it's probably a good idea to try and magnetize them as well if you can do it in such a way that it doesn't interfere with stacking.

Ah!! I needed this! Thank you

Very neat. Very, very impressive.

Thank you!! been looking for a great solution and you really nailed it!

Thanks so much for this was looking at so many expensive foam options, you have saved me big time
