I've recently recieved my very first Chimera and Russ and seeing how I think it's better to magnetize them than just glue them got me wondering where do you buy magnets. I'm currently stationed overseas in Japan which kinda limits where I can shop (can't read the signs :|). So my question i what sites have them and what kind of sizes would I be looking for?

Right, here are two links,

These are sme magnets which work well on minitures

http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D201%2DN52

They do different sizes if you want bigger ones.


And if you need help, here is a tutorial on magnetic arms, I assume that it can easilly be transfered over to vehicles.

I got mine off e-bay, they're 4mm x 2mm, which are a good size for magnatising monstrous creatures, not sure wat size you'll need for tanks mind,

Great stuff!

k&j magnetics is the best, they have a slowed amount of sizes shapes and types, and theyre super cheap with fast shipping.

I also got mine from K&J, all 300 or so magnets arrived in perfect condition. They also threw in a 4 or 5 similar sized magnets free. I still don't know what I'm supposed to do with a 1/4" magnetic doughnut?

About $35 with shipping is enough to magnetize weapon variants on a good sized army.

Thanks for the replies I'll be checking them out for sure.
