Don't know if this is the right place to ask but where would you guys recommend buying modeling magnets? I've heard Neodynium might be a tad strong. Any suggestions?

-Thanks

ebay seems to have nice deals on bulk purchases.

I hope neodymiums are strong, I plan on using the rod variants of them to magnetize my Dark Elf War Hydra's heads when I get it.

I get mine from K&J Magnetics. If you let us know what you are planning on magnetizing, we can give you some guidance on what kinds of magnets to buy.

Check out my website. I have a couple of articles on magnetizing a Baneblade, Valkyrie, and Sentinal. I've specificed which magnets I used in each step.

http://www.kjmagnetics.com/ - I've had personal experience with them. Quick shipping, very reasonable prices and a large range of magnets in all shapes and sizes

http://www.amazingmagnets.com/ - Never ordered from them myself, but have heard good things about them from others.

Either company should have great deals depending on what your looking for. It's possible that ebay might have good deals as well, but I've always preferred ordering from an actual company rather than dealing with ebay and the possible shenanigans that can arise there.

I have magnetized all my crisis suits using the magnets from:

http://www.thecombatcompany.com.au/ - they were perfect for swapping out plastic and metal weapons for crisis suits especially.

I also love K&J Magnetics!

Magcraft magnets from National Imports. I've used them for everything from magnetizing crisis suits to all of the arms for grey knight terminators. get a dril bit and dril a small hole. 2 of them together will be perfectly fine. The smallest ones work extremely well. I've used larger ones to magnetize the guns on my hammer head tanks as well. For 100 1/8" by 1/16" it's only about 9 bucks. I never thought I would use that many but I've used about 8 per crisis suit and 4 per terminator. Add in all of the extra weapons and I ended up ordering a ton more. I've actually bulk ordered for a group and got a larger discount/smaller shipping cost.

great stuff. great prices.

Thanks all & Mainly I plan on Magnetizining my Tyranids (Heads & Biomorphs) and Maybe Tau weapons, but noone where I play ever has a problem with me just saying what weapons each suit has.

I've only used Magcraft/National Imports, and they worked out fine.

In my experience most places charge roughly the same price for magnets, but kjmagnetics.com has the best prices for bulk magnets (I buy in large lots for Tau Crisis suits) and has the single best shipping I have ever experienced.

I also use K&J Magnetics.
