Hey guys, I don't know how many others use magnets in there conversions or what not for modular like results, but I found an amazing site with the perfect ones for most jobs, you can get 100 for 5$ (Plus Shipping, which was only 5$). This is not advertising I hope this is ok, I just wanted other people to be able to take advantage of this.

Throw enough Goblins at anything and it should go away, at the very least there will be less Goblins.

What does Eric Clapton and Coffee have in common? Both suck without Cream.

My only problem is how tin they are. I mean sure they would work for infantry, but most cases people magnetize vehicles rather than infantry. I guess you can put a whole bunch together, but why not one bigger magnet. Though the site looks like a good source of magnets. The magnets seem like a good deal, so if you want to magnetize infantry, go for it.

I ordered some. They are tiny and can be rendered "invisible" with ease, but they are not nearly as powerful as the rare earth magnets sold by Radio Shack. I have to use at least four sets of these to hold my predator sponsons on where I only need two sets of the Radio Shack magnets. On the other hand, they are considerably less expensive so I use the Radio Shack magnets to hold my Dreadnaught sponsons on and the KJ magnets for vehicles where I can fit more as needed.

I get my magnets from KJM too. If you look on my website, I have a couple of articles on magnetizing a Baneblade, Valkyrie, and a Sentinal. I also noted the sizes and SKU number of the KJM products I used.
