Quick answer
Use The Other Side 50mm Base Plugs to fill unused 50mm openings in compatible Fireteam bases. If every opening holds a model, you do not need plugs; if you leave slots empty, plugs give you a cleaner, more stable setup.
Why plugging empty openings changes how the base handles
An empty opening is not just a visual gap. It can catch dice, sleeves, or terrain pieces during play and makes the base feel less solid when you pick it up. A plug closes that gap without changing which models you field.
The trade-off is commitment: once a plug is seated, swapping a model into that opening means removing the plug first. Treat plugging as a final step after you have decided your lineup, not a step you repeat every game.
When a 50mm plug is the wrong purchase
If your Fireteam bases use openings in a different size, a 50mm plug will not seat correctly. The catalog lists only 50mm for this pack, so check the opening on your own base before buying. If you are unsure which size your base takes, measure the opening rather than the base's outer edge.
Also skip plugs if you rotate models frequently or run every slot filled. In those cases the plugs add handling steps without solving a real gap.
50mm base plug FAQ
What do 50mm base plugs actually fill?
They fill unused 50mm openings in compatible The Other Side Fireteam bases. They are not a universal insert for every base in the range. Check the opening size on your own base, not the base's overall diameter.
How many plugs come in a pack?
The Other Side: 50mm Base Plugs, 6 Pack contains six plugs. Count your empty 50mm slots first; one pack covers six openings.
Do I need plugs if every slot is filled?
No. Plugs only solve empty openings. A fully loaded Fireteam base has nothing for them to fill.
Can I swap models after plugging a slot?
Yes, but you must remove the plug first. Seat plugs after you have settled on a lineup you plan to keep for a while. If you change lineups often, leave the openings unplugged.
How do I confirm a 50mm plug fits my base?
Measure the opening itself. The catalog gives the plug size as 50mm and lists compatibility with The Other Side Fireteam bases; it does not list other base types.
