Storage help and base/magnet question...

Court and I have done a fair amount of magnetization. We started off with our Dust Tactics minis by using jewelry trays with sheet metal inserts. Jewelry trays are a standard size so you can get bags that are sized to fit them. We also hinged pairs of trays together so that they sit better in the bag and Malifaux plastics are easily light enough to hold to the lid tray. Court has also done custom foamcore trays to fit existing storage boxes and I've done the same for my Warmachine bag, but I wouldn't recommend making trays if you don't already have a box/bag you really want to use. We went through jewelrysupply.com to get our bags and trays. Court might have a magnet recommendation for standard Malifaux bases. As for the eBay ones, can you drill into them with a pin vise? If you match your magnets and drill bits (1/8" would be my recommendation) it's pretty easy to set magnets. When you magnetize you have to have the magnets sit flush with the bottom of the base anyways, either by choosing appropriately thick magnets or using green stuff to set them into, otherwise you'll have to use stronger or more magnets than you really need. The alternative to drilling into the bases is to use thin, larger diameter magnets. As far as rules on bases sitting flush, some one else might need to give a definitive answer, but I'd say for it to be "tournament legal" it would need to sit flat.
