Subject: An Alternative To Magnets on Plastic Warjacks
Awesome! Though I do love magnets, I'm up for learning any alternatives to making models more customizable. Care to show a tutorial on what you use and how to make it?

The correct question is, would I be enjoying this hobby if I did this?
The correct audience is you.

It's a nice idea, but.. I could see some of those pieces rotating down on that circular pin. Especially metal pieces for metal models. Unless you used square wire or something? And then drilling a hole in your model would be an issue.

It isn't that hard to magnetize a Myrmidon, though. The one thing that is useful for pinning is the blades for the Manticore, but otherwise, its pretty simple stuff. For all other factions, I have no idea, though. Currently working on my Retribution army and while tedious, I think a mix of both pinning and magnetizing is ideal for their 'Jacks.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you." Such is the Rule of Honor.
