How to Magnetise WarSplay™: A Clean, Hole-Free Setup

If you’ve ever nudged a display and watched a perfectly painted model take a dive, you already know why wargamers magnetise. Your WarSplay™ can be magnetised easily without drilling holes or ruining the premium matte black finish.

What You Will Need

• Self-adhesive steel/ferrous/rubber sheet: To stick to the display tiers.
• Neodymium magnets: Sized for your specific miniature bases.
• Superglue: To attach the magnets under your bases.
• Scissors or craft knife & pencil: To trace and cut the hexagon shape.

Step-by-Step Guide

• Step 1: Prep and Cut
  Measure a WarSplay™ hexagon to use as a template. Place it on the back of your self-adhesive steel/ferrous sheet, trace around it carefully, and cut the shape out. Tip: Cut slightly inside your traced line so the plate doesn’t overhang the edges of the plinth for a flush, premium fit.
• Step 2: Peel and Stick
  Ensure the WarSplay™ hexagon is completely clean, dry, and free of dust. Peel the backing off your cut shape, align it carefully, and press the sheet firmly into the plinth. Leave it to bond undisturbed for a short while.
• Step 3: Secure and Showcase
  Glue a neodymium magnet flat against the underside of your miniature's base. Once the glue is fully cured, snap your models onto the display for a secure, exhibition-grade hold.

Troubleshooting

• Model doesn't hold strongly enough: You likely bought magnetic rubber sheet instead of a steel/ferrous sheet, or your base magnet is too weak.
• The tape edges are lifting: The plinth surface wasn't cleaned properly before sticking, or the sheet is overhanging the edge and getting caught.
