more new supplies

 In an effort to re-set the use of my magnets I have been given a wonderful gift of some magnets and I decided to add to that arrival by picking up some extra micro-sized neodymium magnets.

the main use for the new micro-magnets
will be to attach the pin with the glass beads
for the 15mm ACW forces

normally the magnets hold the 'angle iron'
onto the base then the 'tag' gets put on
where it can be read by the player

old magnets are the bigger ones
I need them more for the 25/28mm minis
than the 15mm ones

both of the 'new' magnets seen here
the really tiny one is for the pin connection
so it will not block any more text

there are 800 of these tiny ones
more than enough to last a few games
with some to go missing

also picked up in this lot was some
special colored magnetic 'pawns'

the black ones are ALL METAL
and ferro-magnetic in and of the pawn
as well as having a magnet set in the
bottom, the rest are colored plastic

I was running low on the metal bases
(seen attached here)
so I found these 15mm metal discs
they are super thin and magnetic
500 of them at less than $0.04 each

then there was this set of sprockets
they are non-magnetic metal and fairly small
they will work well as both 'parts' and 'damage'
markers for high tech (or steampunk) games
possibly also as parts of terrain for pulpy visuals

many of these 'supports' are planned for
use with these 'blocks', particularly as
mechanized infantry, armor and anti-tank
units need such specialized information

 

Still working on the border-horse units, found out that I had used up most of my wire for the lances on these horsemen, so I'll need to source more soon as I only have enough for two of the 12-man units.
