PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
25mm Round Slotted Bases
Injection-Moulded ABS · UK Designed · Open Basing System (OBS)
✨ New Mould — Improved
We've re-tooled this base from a brand-new mould, with refined ABS and tighter quality control. The headline change comes straight from customer feedback:
- Wider 1.8 mm slot — standard mounting tabs slide in more easily and sit more securely than the previous narrower slot.
- 3.6 mm total height with around 2.6 mm of clearance underneath for magnets.
- Cleaner, more consistent mould lines and surface finish.
📦 What This Is
25mm round slotted wargaming bases, injection-moulded from ABS plastic. The slot accepts models with integrated tabs on their feet — slide the tab through, glue, and trim. Same 25mm footprint as the plain version, with a parallel slot across the top surface.

🔧 Material & Build
Injection-moulded from ABS plastic — the same family of materials used in LEGO bricks. ABS doesn't warp, holds its shape over time, and bonds reliably with superglue (cyanoacrylate) and two-part epoxy. The textured top grips PVA, texture paste and basing sand without scoring first, and takes all spray and brush-on primers cleanly.
Every mould in the OBS range is designed in-house using industry-standard CAD — these are not generic imports. We control the chain from design through to quality control, so mould lines are clean and consistent.
At 3.6 mm total height with a 1.02 mm floor, these bases carry more material than many competing 25 mm bases. The extra thickness adds tabletop stability and gives around 2.6 mm of clearance underneath for magnets — comfortably fitting standard 3x2 mm or 5x1 mm disc magnets for magnetic storage and movement trays.
✅ Compatibility
25 mm round is one of the most universal base sizes in tabletop wargaming. This slotted version is designed for models with integrated tabs on their feet — common on older metal and plastic miniature kits. The 1.8 mm slot accepts standard miniature tabs.
The 25 mm nominal diameter matches industry-standard sizing, correct for organised and competitive play in systems that specify a 25 mm round footprint. These fit standard 25 mm movement trays and transport solutions. If your system later moves to a different base size, OBS base converters (e.g. 25 mm → 32 mm) let you adapt without rebasing.

- ➤ Other Round Sizes — 20mm, 28mm, 32mm, 40mm and up, all in the same ABS quality
💡 From the Workbench
- Using the slot. Slide the model's tab through, apply superglue from underneath, and trim any excess flush with the base bottom. The 1.8 mm slot takes standard tabs with a secure fit.
- Don't need the slot? Fill it with green stuff, milliput or plastic card before texturing. A thin strip of plasticard cut to width sits flush for a smooth surface.
- Wash before priming. A quick rinse in warm soapy water removes any mould-release residue. Dry fully before spraying.
- Magnetising. Around 2.6 mm of clearance fits a 3x2 mm or 5x1 mm disc magnet. Use CA gel (not liquid) so it doesn't run, and check polarity before the glue sets if you're doing a whole unit for tray use.
