At almost 10mm wide, Those magnets seem a little large for anything other than rather large vehicle or MC parts. I would recommend 2 or 3mm wide and no more than 2mm thick magnets for infantry. Rare earth magnets are powerful beasties so you don't need much.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

Ebay sells them extremely cheap. You can search for magnets with free shipping. I got 500 2mm magnets for $5, with free shipping. That's about the best deal I have ever found.
