I'm going to be starting a new marine army and I want a fully lighted army. I know how to make the Electronic components but I do not know what to use all you guys and gals that make lighted models what do yall use, I'm looking for what size switches to use, how to get the batters on a marine or on the base and what size, what type of lights used.

i used a local electronics store to help me - ended up with leds, a resistor, switch and a battery box. can't remember the exact spec but it did work. i don't know if you can fit all that onto a tiny marine though!

I know there was a Necron army that had every model with LEDs for eyes floating somewhere around the internet. I believe the liths also had slowly strobing green lights inside them. He might have put lights in the Nightbringer too, not sure though.

I believe it's done with just a lot of REALLY CAREFUL and intricate drilling. Fiber optics would probably be better, less of a headache if you ask me.
