Two mils of wood is too thick to use
Nought point five steel is the stuff to peruse

2 mm is ideal to pick up by the base you know

I know they are practical but to my eye a 2mm base under 10mm figures looks like they're standing on a step.  I just like bases which blend into the table top as much a possible and the thinner the bas, the easier it is to achieve.
