If you're in Canada, local stores (Staples or Walmart) have a line of boxes called 'Bankers Box'. They come in the same sizes, with similar snapping mechanism but are almost half the cost of the Really Useful Box brand. Pro-tip: Use the containers upside-down, so that your minis sit on the lid. This makes it so that, when you remove the cover, your minis are on a very convenient army tray.

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks for the tips, I actually use the lid and box base, the lid fits Scarabs well on the smaller boxes

[@Codzjoiner]

Where do you get the sheets and circle magnets for the models themselves?

[@darjr]

Was going to do this for presetup terrain for D&D, especially at conventions

[@CTaG14]

Thanks for the tips, also in Canada. What magnetic sheets do you use?

[@AVspectre]

Very cool - thanks!

[@brunswicklord6365]

The perfect Xmas gift for my 40K buddies. A coloured box, appropriate coloured sheet, 32mm magnets and labels. A big thank you for your innovative input with the product line. Just what we wanted.

[@EvokeHaze]

Just real quick. I wanted to say. You good sir! Are the man!!

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks buddy 😎

[@jtswargaming]

Great video and tutorial! I was actually tossing around the idea of doing one myself (I use the same exact boxes). For anyone in the US looking to save a little bit of extra money while doing this, you can buy craft circle punches and bulk magnetic sheet and punch the circles yourself. Instead of ferrous sheet in the boxes, I buy pre-cut galvanized steel flashing from a hardware store (usually less than a dollar per sheet) and put them in the box with double sided tape. It's a great way to save money since we pay a little more money for the RUBs across the pond.

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks buddy and thanks for sharing the info

[@seandixon960]

I find steel sheets provide better adhesion for the magnets too

[@Baldermort]

Epic. I really have to do this next year. :)

[@IDICBeer]

Im so glad I did mine, although the question is do I redo them with these new bases ha ha

[@jherazob]

What are you talking about? those are all colors for us Necrons! Bluecrons, Redcrons, Sandcrons, Pinkcrons, etc., no one else is invited! :P Now seriously, those colored sheets are in fact making me reconsider storage for my Bluecrons...

[@BigMekDanskull]

Very thorough mate. It seems like a super simple solution, I'm tempted to pick up a few sheets worth of the magnets to see if they're right for me

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks mate, im loving this system, I have condensed my minis down a lot using this

[@MattPerrin]

A trick I do with my Scarabs is to apply a ferous sheet to the inside of my lid, and have my Scarabs magnetized upside down during transport. Takes a strong magnet to hold them, but it's a great way to maximize storage space.

[@IDICBeer]

Yep, exactly what I do, I have 70 Scarab bases 😁 NECRONS!!

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

Cool idea. However I wonder if my taller models would hit the ones on the lid.

[@IDICBeer]

@@LoftOfTheUniverse Only put them on lids for boxes that have standard minis

[@Baldermort]

That’s genius!!!!!

[@MattPerrin]

@@LoftOfTheUniverse Yeah, got to watch out for that. I have specific boxes for my taller models where I don't do the hanging Scarab trick.

[@matthewbiro9689]

Thanks for this. One of my hobby goals for Xmas is to make a case for my two armies which are currently taking up one side of our sofa looking very sad in boxes

[@IDICBeer]

[@jamesreed2475]

I use metal washers with magnetic sheets. I like the weight that the washers add to the minis. I had to use the 60 mil sheets to get really good connection. Here in the US we have JoAnn Fabrics which has storage containers very similar but much cheaper. No fancy colors but stackable and very secure. Weighted minis don't tip or scooch nearly as easily.

[@IDICBeer]

Certainly an option

[@CMWargames]

Looks good and it’s cool they have improved upon the system

[@IDICBeer]

Indeed mate

[@TheWarpForge]

Awesome Vid! Loving how The Maget Shop is really listening to players!

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks mate, yeah it's really great

[@daemonnexusknight]

I really need to look into this. I have been on a quest to make some cheaper magnetic storage solutions for my minis. 🙂

[@IDICBeer]

I love this solution, so easy and quick to do and with the cost of Neo magnets these days the magnetic round discs are a great option

[@markhickson1066]

The approach is valid but the cost for these new slightly bigger sheets is way more expensive than the earlier proposed approach of using A4 sheets - see the other comments and early video :-)

[@warhammerdad5961]

Have dozens of boxes now magnetised the Duncan way and this looks like a really cool product. But over £10 for a single sheet to magnetise a single box is just crazy! Also need to mention if the magnetic sheets don’t go on the bases perfectly in line with the rim or if you have custom resin bases that are even half a mm too small you end up with a gluey lip that catches dust and dirt. Need to really be mindful when applying magnetic strips to models and don’t rush it.

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks for your feedback

[@hatesitrick]

I know the guy quite well. The reason the sheets are more expensive is due to there being way more processes involved in making it. I don’t see why people don’t realise that tbh. You can just buy A4 sheets instead if you don’t want the design. Or the plain version. It’s cheaper to buy more of them instead of just one, and there is also free postage. The designed sheets are cut out one by one, and have rounded corners. There are so many processes. 6 at least. And you could argue there were more when it comes to designing them, and finding something suitable people will like. A4 sheets have square corners and many sheets can be cut at once, hence the far cheaper price. I’ve also heard they’re working on a way to make the magnets so they can be stuck inside the bases as an alternative to sticking on the rim. Also they have improved those sizes that don’t fit well. They are all now perfect - if u ever receive ones too big now it will be a mistake and you must let them know. It’s not ideal sticking the magnets to the rim tbh, but GW don’t exactly make it easy to get round. A lot of people do really like them and many say they just glue them if they find they have trouble. There just isn’t enough surface area for the magnet to stick to the rims and the surface on the inside of the rims won’t allow you to stick any magnets in there without an even higher risk of them falling off. I’ll tell them u said it looks cool tho btw coz they will appreciate it! I think they are really hoping to improve the whole thing soon and make it a lot better with newer options etc

[@jacket2848]

​@@hatesitrickit doesn't matter *why* it's more expensive. That's not the customers problem, ever. The customer will always go for the least expensive option providing it works, and we all know they work.

[@foreverfornever1124]

Nice! thanks for the update. I will definitely be purchasing in bulk.

[@IDICBeer]

Glad it was useful, I'm loving how good these are

How well do metal washers stick to these magnetized sheets? I still got plenty of them around at home...

[@IDICBeer]

I don't believe they will work, the ferrous sheet is only magnetically receptive rather than magnetic

@@IDICBeer I mean on the magnetic sheets you mentioned you had before. 😀

[@IDICBeer]

@ they should stick, but not sure how powerful they would be tbh

[@ironknuckles348]

recently got into battletech which uses hexagon bases wondering if one these round magnet base sheets would fit in the bottoms

[@IDICBeer]

I suppose it hdepends on the depth of the base, but it might be doable, sadly I have no experience with Battletec

[@davedogge2280]

I bought those really big backpacks with removable metal shelves from a company in Poland but for home storage I use big plastic Feldherr boxes with foam trays. No solution is ideal, magnets are a pain even more so when I became alergic to super glue (very liquid that evaporates) and had to use two part epoxy to glue the magnets to plastic.

[@jherazob]

Then the magnet sheets are perfect for you I'd say, no messing around with glues, just peel the paper and stick them on

[@IDICBeer]

Yeah this system with no glue could be great for you Dave

[@jtswargaming]

Sorry to hear that mate; that glue allergy sucks for this hobby. If you still wanted to go the magnetize base route and make sure you have enough contact area, you can put a dollop of hot glue (from a glue gun) in the underside of your base, apply the magnet, and then squish it down on a level surface. I normally put down some parchment paper first so that any overspill won't stick to my countertop.

[@gi1dor]

I use hot glue gun, easy to work with it, very good adhesive

[@MadMax-el2el]

I developed an allergy to superglue after 20 years of using it without an issue. Either that or they changed the formula. What I do is wear the same respirator I use for airbrushing or spray paint, it is just n95 filters on it so nothing overly special, just make sure you get a good seal on the mouth and nose, shaving maybe require. Anything they have at the hardware store for painting/vapors should be good, the double filter units are the better option if available. Now vapors and eye irritation, open a window and set the fan in the middle of the room or 3 feet/1m from the window, leave the door to the rest of the house open and set the fan so it is blowing out the window. I have not had an issue in 5 years now. Also it helps air out through house. Finally put the models in another location to cure. I just put mine in the garage, then ignore for 48 hours. Honestly it is fine after 12, but why risk a "bad" connection fail if you don't have too.

[@991leafy]

Just wondering I have to walk to my local store so what sort of bag could I use to transport my minis in these boxes to and from the store?

[@IDICBeer]

Hi pal, I use large reusable bags, usually the Aldi ones or if I need a bigger bag a Sports Direct one, just find a big bag with a flat bottom

[@tommoolenaar3901]

Really enjoying your videos! Do you have a box that would allow a doomstalker and void dragon to stand up in? All the one's I've seen aren't tall enough sadly.

[@IDICBeer]

[@AlucardTheReturn]

Working on my boxes, these are great news

[@IDICBeer]

Indeed it is bud 😁

[@JonathanTaylorW]

thanks for the vid - i assumed that the round magnets go inside the rim of the bottom of the base so it sits flush without adding height to the base but now I can see that they adhere to the bottom of the rim underneath. so for me i think i'll wait to see if they make ones that can fit inside the bases

[@IDICBeer]

Glad I was able to confirm how they work

[@cristiansasori]

I would like these boxes if they had a handle on the top so that I could hold it like a briefcase, great video, cheers. Necroooons!!! :D

[@SgtOddballz]

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks mate

[@CTimmerman]

12:00 What's the difference between your old sheet and the new one? Ferrous rubber vs rubberized steel? I'm using generic self-adhesive 1mm ferrous rubber sheets, and only N52 strength magnets (3x1mm on pads or drilled into resin) work well on them.

[@IDICBeer]

The old sheet is magnetic, but the new one is only magnetically receptive. WarMag have improved the range even more now, I have a newer video linked in the description

[@CTimmerman]

@@IDICBeer So your old sheet bounces off models with improperly oriented magnets?

[@IDICBeer]

@@CTimmerman No it works with borh polarities

[@Cloud759star]

Them wooden ducks! You're so British I love you .

[@IDICBeer]

Ha ha

[@Zepulchure]

So I have some thoughts, and I do hope you will see this, and possibly give a reply. With the round magnetics, is there room between that and the actual base to put in some weight? Like a small. Metal washer or flat ring of some kind. I find that having your mini's weighted gives a much better feel on the tabletop when moving them around. Second, something I could possibly in the future try to play with. Is having my playmat/table with these bigger sheets, so the entire battlemap is magnetised, cut some sheets to fit the bottom of terrain and buildings, thereby ensuring that everything on the battlemap will not move unintentionally, which is something I am a very high fan off

[@IDICBeer]

Hi buddy, you should be able to get a washer in there if you wanted, you might have to clip out the stud holes some bases have, but should be easy to do

[@Zepulchure]

Thanks for the quick response. I am currently thinking about going this route for storage ^^

[@sparkyUK71]

Thanks for this! The 32mm discs arrived today and it’s a game changer! I’ve based all of my boyz from the ork combat box. I’ve also ordered the warmag sheet (the green one) which looks amazing and was fitted in under 10 secs.

[@mem8170]

Wonderful Review. Been keeping up to date with this series of videos youve been making and its been such a godsend for alternative solutions. Got back into the hobby a few months back but back in my "hayday" was only foam cases which were alright up to a point (though was a nightmare for anything with spikey bits like my old chaos army). There is definitely one flaw with this current system in the eyes of competitive play as I believe it has been mentioned as you cant adjust the height of the bases. Could always shave down the bases by 1.5mm but that would be quite an extra effort. However I did notice that the magnetshop guys are selling 25mm versions (Ive just ordered a few in addition to their new sheets). Going to try and see if I can make them flush with some greenstuff or potentially 1p coins in the hollow areas. Really love what both you and the magnetshop are doing though so thankyou both very much :)

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks buddy, it's a fair point regarding the raising of bases for events, I didn't know that and it's a consideration for sure, glad you a have enjoyed the videos

[@ChitosVids]

Wouldn't you want a smaller diameter magnet to fit inside the 32mm bases instead of on the lip?

[@IDICBeer]

It would have to be much thicker, plus a lot of bases have rivets on so not enough space for a disk

[@HijiriOni]

So my friend and I played Blood Bowl and found magnets on the bases created tons of issues during the game. They kept jumping to each other. So I'm trying magnetic sheets for the carrying case with metal tape on the bottoms.

[@IDICBeer]

Never had that issue at all, maybe his magnets are too close to the edges

[@kamaeq]

And don't stumble. I used a high iron steel sheet on an old bed tray with RE mini magnets, held like a champ. A stumble and lurch saw minis bang into each other. Oh, Necrons too. I keep superglue on hand, so a few quick fixes and ready to play. Transport them that way other than walking around a tournament? Sorry, nope. Oh, the magnets are strong enough that the minis can stick together if the polarity and position are right.

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks for your feedback, I've not had any issues so far

[@kamaeq]

@@IDICBeer Might have been more extreme since I was avoiding falling on my tray. The magnets did hold and since you do Necrons, the breakage was spindly bits, arms and guns. Here in the USA, I worry more about traffic issues, hard stops and swerves, let alone actually flying with them. Haven't done that in years since my son got older. I swapped to pistol hard cases for general transport, but had thought of doing more magnetic with foam board inserts notched to cross each other.

Seems like a great product! A shame for me personally is that the shipping is outrageous to Sweden (85£!) and there doesn't seem to any retailers carrying this product.

[@IDICBeer]

Yeah shipping cost have been hurrendous after Brexit sadly :(

[@lukecunningham3666]

Only issue I’ve found with magnetising bases is that when I’m playing and I have some models all tightly packed together (EG taking cover in/behind a terrain piece) the models can flip over as the magnets on other bases come close to each other. Any tips on how to be a noob like me and avoid this?

[@IDICBeer]

I've not experienced tjis at all tbh

[@amangonemad5117]

Never heard of that either. But your magnetic might be too strong try using a smaller sized one.

[@YoruUesugi]

Very nice review Nick! It's a very convenient solution but I see a major problem in it (at least for me). The tournaments I use to go don't allow any base modification that alters any of it's dimensions, and that 1.5mm extra high it's going to be a problem for sure. Isn't it possible for Magnet shop to just make ones that fit in the gap of each base? I think that way would be the perfect storage solution!

[@IDICBeer]

Thanks buddy, not heard of that extreme restriction, but fair play. The ussue of making them to fit inside the base is the variety of base types, some are hollow, but many have the pins for the minis and of course the resin ones aren't hollow at all

[@seandixon960]

You can use small 3x2mm magnets instead hidden inside the base as Nick showed with some of his metal minis instead. That would still function for storage and not add any height

[@superkamigoru]

You can always just use a bit if green stuff in between the base and the magnet to get it flush

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

You know I've been looking around for boxes just like that to put my models in. Straight flat walls and bottom. Could never find anything like them. I did find something close to them about a year or so ago and I updated my old storage system of the classic blastic boxes with the slightly slant angled walls to my current ones. Now that I got that done but finally someone actually tells what the name of these boxes are I feel like getting these now. Which is a hard decision seeing I play Orkz and currently got like 15k points of Orkz.....

[@IDICBeer]

Yeah that is a lot of Orks to store

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

@@IDICBeer yeah it is a lot of Orkz. The 2 main boxes I have use looks similar in size to the 4L and 9L boxes you have. Of course I live in the states so this product might be different. They're the Sterilite's plastic modular latch box. I like them because they stack snug and firmly together without any play. I'll convert the sizes of my boxes so you can roughly get the what I'm talking about. I got (7) 5.9L containers (looks like your 4L boxes), (2) 2.6L containers, (2) 12L containers (looks like your 9L boxes), (1) 61.9x38.4x15.6cm (24L) container, (1) 61.9x31.4x29.8cm (48L) container. I also got a stubby Citadel vehicle carrier and a Citadel 6 tray troop carrier. All full of my ork army. That's not including my pile of shame of unfinished minis and the several nut an bolt organizer boxes full of bits. Than tucked to the side surrounded by all the green skins is a container maybe around 30L and a 6 tray Citadel army carrier with my Necron army. I actually had to get a big garage storage shelf just to put all of these boxes and container on.

the plastic tubs need to be bigger, really cool system though

I thought that when I first started, but I found the A4 ones to be the perfect size for both storing in my cupboard and for actually carrying around, they fit in a carriable bag very well stacked on top of each other.

[@SIOSpawn]

Also warning. If you try to buy from their ebay store they will charge you 19 dollars per sheet and 62 dollars shipping. So 82 bucks a sheet....unfathomable

[@Archaeonomy]

This is a birlliant option for miniature storage, but sadly when I went to try purchasing some, the shipping cost was 30 pounds, far more than the value of the sheets themselves. Back to the drawing board.

[@rklammer]

Don't think i'd ever trust magnets for storage. Drop your box on its side or top and your models are doomed. I think i'll always stick to foam. Cool review though, the colour sheets are a cool idea.

[@IDICBeer]

I'm too careful to drop then ha ha but I get you. Glad you enjoyed the review

[@markhickson1066]

Initially I thought this was a great idea. However, a quick look at the pricing and I see it is stupidly over-priced. The slightly bigger sheet (with some unwanted stickers) is about the same price as TEN A4 sheets. The box deals then cost the box at £10 for a 4l box and £14 for a 9l box. I managed to buy three 9l boxes for just £15 at the weekend. So for a single box for a small army the ready made combination is £22 for a smallish force, with no larger models; or £26 if you want to combine small and large models in the same box. Shopping elsewhere I can do 3 home made boxes for ~£27 and still have loads of sheets left over for my other armies. True I'll have to stick the sheets down and won't have some stickers and a pen for the outside, but really .....

[@IDICBeer]

Perfection doesn't come cheap ha ha

[@markhickson1066]

@@IDICBeer as many say, perfection doesn't exist. At this price the solution is far from perfect. A 20% increase in costs and an extra £1 or so on boxes would have been reasonable. At over 800% the cost on the sheets and nearly 200% rise in the cost of a box this is just a rip off. While many are approaching this from a best solutions for painted minis, most are also looking at it as a cost effective solution. For me the cost was ~£27 for three 9l boxes, the current prices would put that at £78 from The Magnet Shop. Can't see many people going with it at the prices. Shame really as it could have been worth a little extra.

[@IDICBeer]

@@markhickson1066 The extra cost is because of the tooling need for the size, the standard A4 sheets are just cut with a guillotine

[@markhickson1066]

@@IDICBeer I can see that being the case. Sadly for me the resultant cost is too high. I wonder if they have over engineered it. Just guillotining slightly longer would have been great, high cost to get an exact fit - not worth it. I wish them well but looking at other comments, others feel the same.

[@SIOSpawn]

@@IDICBeer I talked to them and even offered to help them set up stateside

[@hatesitrick]

@@SIOSpawnhow you gonna help set them up stateside tho? When the USA have what is called a dumping tax. The USA are the thing that’s making it impossible for them to import it. (I’m friends with the guy) - they’re not trying to rip anyone off they just can’t get round it, they’re also a very small team. Shipping to America is well expensive for heavy/bulky items. And they don’t have the buying power massive companies have. Also the shipping on eBay isn’t able to be changed easily as it’s a variation listing. There’s so much more to tho than people realise 🤷‍♂️ America is hopefully on the horizon but if magnet was bought from America the price would have to be SO SO much higher than it is in the uk and then people would complain about that. It’s so difficult for them man. They’re really trying 😂 people just expect them to have it everywhere overnight when it’s only about two years old. It’s such a huge amount of work. It’s so disheartening for them to see people so quick to judge. It’s a UK company and there is only one guy running business development on it. No one else. Just one guy.

[@SIOSpawn]

@hatesitrick 100% I'll set them up over here. I eve contacted the company and offered to put them in several gaming stores. They declined and said they have plans to do America but not right now.

[@hatesitrick]

@@SIOSpawnit’s very kind of you to offer them, and I understand you have the connections but there are importing issues as I just said. It’s really not as easy as it seems. If they were selling t shirts yeh fine, but they’re selling magnets from outside the USA and there are massive taxes imposed. Like massive. I’m sure they will get here in the end - when did you speak to them?

[@joshreilly4893]

Honestly this has made me so excited and so angry in such a short space of time. I have loads of these and have struggled to sort out the extra bit on top of an A4 magnetic sheet (ones that I bought from the magnetic shop) saw this video and skipped off to buy me a pack. Imagine my shock when they are £10.95 each sheet. Now that could be the colouring but if you just want plain black it’s the same price. Honestly I feel taken advantage of! I feel like someone has told the the magnetic shop that wargamers have money and they’ve decided to mark their product up (by my calculations) around 430% compared to the price of their A4 10 pack 0.85mm thick sheets. Honestly I’ll avoid the magnetic shop products because of this it’s made me angry enough to do the math!!

[@IDICBeer]

Hi buddy, the reason for the extra cost is how the new sheets are cut, they have to tool them as opposed to using a guillotine, they do get cheaper per sheet as you order more and I do appreciate they aren't exactly cheap, but they certainly aren't trying to take advantage.
