MAGNETIC TOURNAMENT TRAY - MEDIUM, ARCTIC BASTION EDITION

Magnetic Tournament Tray – Medium, Arctic Bastion Edition

The Magnetic Tournament Tray Medium is designed for convenient and secure storage and transport of miniatures during tabletop gaming tournaments.

During a game, it also provides a dedicated place for eliminated models. Instead of leaving miniatures near the edge of the table or packing them away individually, they can be placed directly on the metal plate. After the game, the entire tray can be carried to the next table without rearranging every model.

Combined with the Small and Large trays, it creates a flexible transport system that can be configured around armies containing miniatures of different heights.

Arctic Bastion Edition

The visible HDF components and the usable surface of the metal plate feature a full-colour Arctic Bastion UV print. Weathered armour panels, exposed mechanisms, cables and technical markings give the tray the appearance of a cold military science fiction installation.

The UV print increases the resistance of the surfaces during transport and regular use. Once assembled, the tray does not require painting or additional finishing. If desired, a thin layer of clear varnish can be applied for additional protection against abrasion and moisture.

The same visual theme is available in the Arctic Bastion Instabases range, allowing the tray and the models placed on it to share a consistent appearance.

HDF Construction

The tray is made from precision-cut HDF components. The reinforced side walls provide additional rigidity and stability when carrying a fully loaded tray.

Metal Plate for Secure Magnetic Hold

The base of the tray is fitted with a galvanised metal plate featuring the Arctic Bastion UV print. The plate is factory attached and does not require any additional installation. Miniatures fitted with magnets under their bases hold directly to its surface.

Unlike commonly used ferromagnetic sheets, the solid metal plate provides a considerably stronger magnetic hold. This helps keep the miniatures secure during carrying, storage and transport.

With a typical arrangement, the tray holds approximately 90 models on 32 mm bases. Actual capacity depends on the size and shape of the miniatures and the spacing between them.

Open Front, Removable Front Panel and Integrated Handles

The open front provides quick access to the miniatures and makes it easier to grip them by their bases. Models can also be carefully slid towards the edge of the metal plate before being lifted, reducing the risk of pulling a miniature away from its base or damaging delicate parts.

A separate front panel is included and can be used to close the open side of the tray, providing additional protection during transport and storage.

Integrated handles provide a secure and comfortable grip when carrying the tray with models in place.

Stackable Construction

All SafeandSound Magnetic Tournament Trays share the same footprint, allowing Small, Medium and Large trays to be securely stacked.

The three available heights make it possible to configure the system around a specific army. When another tray is placed above the Medium tray, it provides protected space for the models stored on that level. If no tray is placed above it, the open top allows the tray to carry miniatures extending beyond the upper edge of its walls.

The Medium tray can be used:

• as one of the levels in a stackable transport system,
• as a dedicated space for models eliminated during a game,
• without another tray above it for models extending beyond the side walls,
• in any configuration with Small and Large trays.

Included in the Set

• HDF components for one Medium tray, covered with the Arctic Bastion UV print,
• factory-fitted galvanised metal plate, covered with the Arctic Bastion UV print,
• removable front panel covered with the Arctic Bastion UV print.

Compatible with the SafeandSound Magnetic Case

The trays can be carried inside the lightweight and convenient SafeandSound Magnetic Case.

The Magnetic Case can accommodate:

• 3 Medium trays,
• 2 Large trays,
• 1 Small, 1 Medium and 1 Large tray,
• or any other tray configuration with a combined height of up to 282 mm.

Assembly

The tray itself takes approximately 5 minutes to assemble, excluding the time required to read the instructions and prepare the workspace. The metal plate is already attached, so only the HDF structure needs to be assembled using standard wood glue.

We recommend dry-fitting the tray first to check the position and fit of every component. The parts can then be glued together and held firmly in place.

• initial bonding time: approximately 12–15 minutes,
• full curing time: approximately 24 hours.
