I am considering using a could flat pieces of metal from the hardware store when I first started with the idea of magnetizing my figure bases and getting a color copy of the heroquest board and glueing it to a metal sheet.    That should do the trick.     However, I don't have that much of a problem with the figs moving a little in game.    It is storage and transport that has really been a problem.   Now, I but cookie sheets in shallow boxes and stick all my figures to them.

The Victrix bases combined with magnets that I buy at an office supply shop (and were designed to stick to the back of business cards) has been a much cheaper option for me.   I have seen the gf9 magnet bases and they are pretty expensive.      

I get 100 magnets for US$20 and when I cut them up I usually get enough to magnetize 8-10 guys per magnet.    So it is only costing me pennies to magnetize the Victrix bases and they work really well.
