Any solutions are welcome. And I love both 1.0 and 2.0 people!

Apart from magnets, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone purposefully change the height of the ships between different ships. But when the pegs on the ship break, I always cut the small pin of a regular peg and glue it in place. That might cover what you’re looking for too?

I guess I thought by now there would be more aftermarket options. Something like two or three pegs in length, but one piece.

I just put some on 1 peg, others on 2

I think Litko makes after market stands. they're pegs may be the length of two FFG ones.

If you really want variable heights, then here's variable:

But they're too big for X-Wing, imo. 5" to 25", that's just crazy talk.

Sweet mother of god.

I’m not sure if you could get them to work on x-wing bases, but dropzone commander widgets were a pretty good solution for flight pegs.

Get some rods from TAP Plastics: https://www.tapplastics.com/

Just glue a bunch of pegs together. Lay flat on a table next to a straight edge. When the glue hardens you'll have pegs of different length.

Are you saying you don't have enough pegs? I have more bases and pegs than I know what to do with, as I don't field more than 4 ships in a typical list. Sometimes more on the rare game of Team Epic.

But still, just place your ships using zero, one, two or three pegs.

4 or more aren't too stable.

Use Legos.

I see people all the time have Legos for target locks and ships. I am 100% sure you can figure out a way to make it work.

Other thought Warhammer stands for jump troops are cheap, I would have said Legion but I think only the Upcoming Fett is the one with a stand.

All great solutions. Thanks, everyone!

I've superglued some of my pegs to form sturdy longer pegs.

Blink blink

Begins mentally running through types of legos that might work....

I was frustrated with how crooked and wobbly large bases are and how often they fall off when you pick up the ships. I’ve been magnetizing mine with magnetic rods. The rods come in various lengths from thin discs up to 2 inches tall. I’m using 1”, 1.5” and 2” rods. The 2” rods are about the same as 2 pegs.

They’re super stable. The trickiest part is making sure everything is level.

There's three parts to that aren't there? One piece connected to the base, the rod, and one piece connected to the ship? Did you have to get all the bits separately or are there sets for that?

How did you attach the magenta to the base? Did you have to drill out the base at all?

Yes, I drilled out the base with a 1/4” drill bit and glued a 1/4” diameter x 1/8” thick magnet flush with the bottom of the base (this creates a shallow well/shaft for the rod to fit down into which helps hold it stable). Then glue a 1/4” x 1/8” thick magnet to the ship. Keeping things level is the hardest part. I haven’t tried using a steel ball, that could help.

The well/shaft is pretty useful. I drilled too wide of a hole in one base and had to use a wider diameter magnet. It still works fine, the magnets are easily strong enough but the ship wobbled whenever I moved it.

I bought the various magnets at KJ magnetics, no kits.
