6x2 vs 14x12 Movement Trays: Picking the Right Base Size

Two trays, two very different jobs

The 6x2 Movement Tray for 25x25mm bases and the 14x12 Movement Tray for 30x30mm bases look similar in construction—both are MDF trays with an upper frame and lower base—but they serve different units. The 6x2 holds a small block of 25x25mm bases, while the 14x12 holds a much larger block of 30x30mm bases. Your choice depends on the base size your miniatures use and how many you want to move at once.

Both trays share the same frame border measurement: 1/4" (6.35mm) per side. Both also offer the same four variants for frame height and base inclusion: 2mm Height Frame NO Bases, 2mm Height Frame WITH BASES, 3mm Height Frame NO Bases, and 3mm Height Frame WITH BASES. That means the real decision is about base size, unit size, and whether you want bases supplied.

6x2 tray for 25x25mm bases

• 6x2 Movement Tray for 25x25mm bases: MDF Movement Tray consisting of MDF upper frame and lower base. Confirms the two-part construction you'll assemble.

  

• 6x2 Movement Tray for 25x25mm bases: The Frame Border Measures, 1/4" (6.35mm) per side. This border width affects how much space the frame takes up around your bases.
• 6x2 Movement Tray for 25x25mm bases: Select the hight of frame and base required also if you want bases for your miniatures to be supplied. You choose both frame height and whether bases are included, so you can match your existing basing scheme.
• 6x2 Movement Tray for 25x25mm bases: Other configurations are available on request. If you need a different layout or size, you can ask about custom options.

14x12 tray for 30x30mm bases

• 14x12 Movement Tray for 30x30mm bases: MDF Movement Tray consisting of MDF upper frame and lower base. Same two-part MDF construction as the smaller tray.

  

• 14x12 Movement Tray for 30x30mm bases: The Frame Border Measures, 1/4" (6.35mm) per side. The border is the same width as on the 6x2 tray, so the visual footprint per side is consistent.
• 14x12 Movement Tray for 30x30mm bases: Select the hight of frame and base required also if you want bases for your miniatures to be supplied. You can pick a 2mm or 3mm frame height and decide whether to include bases.
• 14x12 Movement Tray for 30x30mm bases: Other configurations are available on request. Custom layouts are possible if the standard 14x12 grid doesn't fit your unit.

Key differences at a glance

The main differences are the base size each tray is designed for and the number of bases it holds. Both share the same frame border and variant options.

• Base size: 6x2 tray: 25x25mm bases. 14x12 tray: 30x30mm bases.
• Capacity: 6x2 holds 12 bases (6 by 2). 14x12 holds 168 bases (14 by 12).
• Frame border: Both: 1/4" (6.35mm) per side.
• Variants: Both offer 2mm or 3mm frame height, with or without bases.

Which tray fits your army?

Start with your miniatures' base size. If your models are on 25x25mm bases, the 6x2 tray is the compatible option. If they are on 30x30mm bases, the 14x12 tray is the one to choose. The trays are not interchangeable for different base sizes.

Next, consider how many models you want to move together. The 6x2 tray is suited to small units or detachments, while the 14x12 tray is for large blocks. If your unit size falls between these, you may need multiple trays or a custom configuration—the product notes say other configurations are available on request.

Choosing frame height and bases

Both trays offer the same four variants, so the decision is the same for either size.

• 2mm vs 3mm frame height: The frame height you choose should match the look and handling you want. The supplied information does not specify which height suits which basing style, so check your models' base thickness before ordering.
• With bases vs without bases: If you already have based miniatures, choose the NO Bases option. If you need bases for your miniatures, select the WITH BASES variant. The product details confirm bases can be supplied.

What the listings don't tell you

The supplied information does not include assembly instructions, care instructions, or compatibility notes beyond the base size and frame border. It also doesn't state the overall footprint of each tray or the material thickness of the MDF. If these details matter for your project, ask before ordering. The listings do note that other configurations are available on request, which is useful if you need a non-standard layout.
