Fantastic. I'm going to try this as soon as I can score some magnets.

Nice work, but very basic. Makes it easier to transport? Wasn't the most surprising use of magnets here.

Nice! (I don't understand why they are called 'rare' earth magnets when everyone uses them!).

**Fallen_Veteran**

What size magnets did you use for this tut and where do you get your magnets?

Forests like this in warhammer fantasy have a lot of utility. It allows people to place their ranked units in the terrain.

Not to mention that you can use the base as a ... base. You can make other terrain features on circle bases the same size as the trees base. Instead of having a standard forest as a terrain piece, you can make the base and swap standard trees for WHFB Blood Forest Mysterious Terrain Feature or a Magic Stone Circle or an Oil Refinery or an Dark Eldar Warp Gate ...

All up, the options are only limited by the theme of the base.
