Sup guys, i have found myself in the possesion of an almost fully magnetized VC army. And unless i use a metal movement tray, all the damn magnets have a tendency to stick to each other.
Where the heck do you guys get your metal movement things from ??

Gots lots of goodies for the VCs
Zombie Dragon,
like 3 vamps on foot
VamP on horse with lance
2 Necros on horse
2 Necros on foot
2 Corpse Carts
Black Coach
70 or so Ghouls
40 Skeletons
55 Zombies
2 Vargulf
30 Grave Guard
3 Spirit Hosts
Khonrad
Vlad

Just need to work me a deal to grab like 80 more zombies or so.

Tip: You want to make sure the magnets all face the same way, else light plastic models will jump up and stick together base to base.

I make my magnet trays by cutting and glueing a piece of roofing metal to the plastic tray.

Metal Snips - $12
sheet of metal that is big enough to last forever - $5

Make sure to bring a magnet with you to Lowes or Home Depot to make sure you buy a magnetic piece of sheet metal. Some are non-magnetic alloys.

I recently got materials to make new movement trays using:

basswood
sheet metal I already had

With magnets you can make the trays the exact size of the bases without worrying about borders.

Yep, I made myself some borderless movement trays for my orcs and goblins. The borders really start to add up in a horde army, so units with smaller footprints help you fit your units where you need them Smile
