Questions about Base sizes and magnets What's the width height of the bases for 40k Tau and Space Marines.

For infantry I use 1/8" magnets and it works just fine.

For larger models (like a big critter on a 40mm or 50mm base) I use a 1/4" magnet. If it is metal, I use two.

(I prolly have over 400 mini's magnetized....)

Check out K&J magnetics - they are one of the best places to get rare earth magnets in quanity.
