I bought a Lemartes model today and i figured if there was a way to make it so i could put a backpack or jump pack on easily it would be great because then i could use the model as a reclusiarch as well. Anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks!

Magnets, two of them. I have a friend who has it done with his entire Blood Angels army.

Nothing currently, got out of the hobby, maybe getting back in?

Get some really small Rare-earth magnets and superglue them into pre-drilled holes. The groove and on the backpacks should make them stable enough once magnetized, but if you really want to keep them aligned add a metal pin as well, just don't glue it into one of the two parts.

Magnets is what I would use, or maybe some clever ''clip on'' backpack..

You can also put a permanent pin in the back above the nub thingy and a small hole in the backpack. Cheap easy.
