Find the right skirmish tray for 25mm round bases. Learn about spacing, frame height options, and how to keep your wargaming unit consistent.
Quick Answer
For 25mm round bases, a 4x4 skirmish tray with cutouts spaced 1/2" apart and a 1/4" trim works well. Choose a frame height that matches your base thickness.
Why Spacing Matters for 25mm Round Bases
Skirmish trays keep your miniatures organized during gameplay, but the wrong spacing can throw off unit coherency or make models hard to remove. For 25mm round bases, the standard cutout spacing of 1/2" (12.7mm) between each base provides enough room for easy access while maintaining consistent formation. The 1/4" (6.35mm) trim around the edge prevents bases from sliding off the tray.
Frame Height Options and Your Bases
The frame height you choose depends on how thick your 25mm round bases are. A lower frame works for standard slotted bases, while a taller frame is better for bases with integral slotta tabs or thicker lipped edges. Measure your base height before ordering to ensure a snug fit without the base sitting too high or too low in the tray.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What size skirmish tray do I need for 25mm round bases?
- A 4x4 tray (holding 16 bases) is common for skirmish games. The cutouts are spaced 1/2" apart with a 1/4" trim, designed for 25mm round bases. If you need a different layout, look for trays with adjustable cutout patterns or custom options.
- How do I choose the right frame height?
- Measure the thickness of your base from the bottom to the top edge. If your base is 3mm thick, a low frame works. For bases 5mm or thicker, select a taller frame option to hold the base securely without wobbling. Check your base thickness before ordering.
- Can I use this tray for other base sizes?
- No, the 4x4 Skirmish Tray is specifically cut for 25mm round bases. Using smaller or larger bases will not fit properly. Always match the tray cutout size to your base diameter.
