So I am in the process of assembling the and I want to make the most out of the kit seeing at is anything but a wallet friendly model (thou that can be said about many of GWs products). So I figured I could magnetize the heads allowing me to use both units depending on mood. Now I will admit I am still new magnetizing models having done it only a handful of times, which is what brings me to write this post, and I have not really done much work other then arms. So I am looking for a little help finding good anchor points to place the magnets and am not noticing any good ones on the Exocrine head and was wondering (more like hoping) that some more skilled and ventern eyes could locate some possiblities or has done it themselves. I took some pictures and added them below, hopefully I added them correctly

I know the head has the "nubs" but I'm not sure how well that would hold thou given the thinness of the area.

Thanks in advance

Pics didn't show, hopefully this fixes.

I've jsut magnetised a couple of Crones including wings, heads and weapons... so will be interested to see if this is possible.

My suggestions: fill both head and gun interiors with green stuff - place a 5 x 4mm magnet in both head and gun sections. I would place them by fixing the magnets in the body; then stick (using magnetism) two magnets to then. Fill the head/gun with greenstuff, and press it against the body with the two extra magnets, so you get them in exactyl the rights place. I hope this makes sense... it's been a long day and I'm on my second glass of rioja...

Thanks for the fix of the pictures I had a feeling I f***ed them up. And what your saying makes perfect sense. Here is to hoping I have enough green stuff

I finished mine last night. It took a lot of patience but with enough effort I got something I am really happy with. I used magnets for all attachments but here are the heads. Both fit snugly and fit cleanly on the model. I don't own a dremel but I used a 7/32th drill bit and bored a hole just big enough to place a 3/16 x 1/8th magnet flatly with glue. Once that dried, I placed another magnet on top of that, and made an impression in my Milliput ball I placed in the head compartment. Once that was dry, I glued a magnet in and connected the neck / head with a thin piece of wax paper and lifted it off the joint. The glue set and luckilly it all worked out.
