The Best Magnetic Storage Solutions for Miniatures
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Magnetic storage has quietly become the favorite system of hobbyists tired of foam. Glue a magnet to each base, line a box with steel paper, and your models snap into place, visible at a glance, packed far denser than foam cavities allow, and safe from the foam rub that dulls paint over time. Getting there takes a few decisions: magnet size and pull strength for different base sizes, rubber steel versus ferrous sheet, and whether to buy a purpose-built magnetic case or convert cheap toolboxes. This guide covers the best magnetic cases, magnet packs, and steel sheet options, compared on holding power, capacity, ease of setup, and cost, with practical advice on magnetizing an existing army without repainting anything.
