In this picture some of the zombies are the male ones, and they are on those size bases:



So, I think they fit.

In the past I used those "slot bases".

Now I pretty much base anything 28mm in 1" fender washers.

You can buy them by weight in any big DIY store and are really cheap.

Besides, they give a little weight and stability to the minis.

Hope that helps.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

I used 24mm ( ~1") washers, some greenstuff to hide the integral bases, then glue sand, rocks or whatever onto it.

I do exactly the same : steel washers (from 25mm to 35mm depanding the figures), and I fill the holes with some greenstuff.

I especially like the fact it give some weight to plastic minis; and I'm also happy about the fact that the figures seems to be more really standing on floor.

The models work fine on slotta bases, I glue mine to regular stollabases too and then stick sand to the bases. The sand (which is rather rough) hides the integral base which is rather thin.

I use these which are a bit cheaper and the integral base covers most of the slot, the sand covers the rest:

What do you want to use the magnets for?
