Magnetized Conan Minis

I have spent the whole aftrenoon magnetizing all the minis from the Conan Board Game +Stygia extension. It was worth the effort. Now all the minis are easily accessible and transportable.

First step: cover the bottom of the boxes with rubber steel sheets

Remove the plastic bits that stick under some bases (the mini will still stand on it)

Add some MDF bases under the heaviest creatures and characters

Magnetize the plastic or the MDF base, now the colour bases can stick with the magnets

 You can see that I have also magnetized the colour bases. This is very useful and it will allow me to paint the bases of the minis and not damaging them by forcing them in the color circles.

The biggest minis required larger MDF bases (I have used green stuff to fix them on)

I have drawn circles on the magnetized sheet to cut them and fix them under the bases

Tadam! Now you can see the result: everything in order and ready to play.

A handful of minis are not yet magnetized because I was short of MDF bases.
Now I just have to paint all that!
