So I want to put a magnet on the base of my t-47 so I can disassemble it between games. However, if it is sitting on a magnet, it will be taller than if it was glued directly onto the stand. Will that height difference change anything as far as LoS or anything? If so, will that cause issues at tournaments/events?

I don't think it will, but I don't want to superglue something to my base that will prevent me from using it in organized play.

Why don't you just not glue the air speeder to the stand?

As for the OP, it could because you can't change the miniature itself that would cause a change in gameplay, from what I was told.

I'm looking into magnets as well for the air speeders and the walkers. I'll probably go with the X-Wing peg magnets I have (1/8" I think) and actually counter sink them into the bases and then another one into the peg of the speeder. For the walkers I'll do the same, but into the feet.

actually, strong disc magnets may be able to go through the base... then just a washer glued to the Air Speeder peg and the walker feet would be an easy solution.

Countersinking magnets isn't hard. Take a little care and you'll be fine.

Storage reasons mostly. The box I have been keeping my stuff in is about 3 centimeters shorter than the stand glued to the base and there is no way for me to angle it in. I'm gluing down my other figures, but the airspeeder is just kinda unwieldy.

That was my first thought but I've had trouble finding magnets that fit under the base smoothly.

What is countersinking? If I had to guess, I'd assume it involves cutting into the base so the magnet can sink in? Is that correct? I don't really trust myself to do that (I don't even think I'd have the right tools), but I might could get some friends to help me with it.

countersinking is silly easy. I've done it quite a few times with my X-Wing models. I get these little cylinder magnets from a local supplier/hardware store. They are 1/8" thick. I then take a 1/8" drill bit and by hand I just turn the bit until it's deep enough for my liking.

These are the magnets I use (the far left) but I think I'll be grabbing those little guys and the discs. The little guys go in the feet, the disc goes under the pad. The larger magnets are deceptively strong, so it should be a sound strategy.

countersinking is just the term used to refer to:
"I drill out a hole big enough for the magnet until the magnet is flush with the model"

You do this a LOT if you are into 40k lol.
