What size magnets do you recommend for various 40k projects? I'm hoping to magnetize some Land Raider sponsons coming up, as well as other projects. The last time I put in an order from KJ magnetics I ordered 1/16th IN and discovered that they were really too small to do anything. I'm looking through their surplus magnets and finding 3mm and 6mm magnets (1.5mm thick) that seem to be a good deal. Would these be a good size?

Also, any tips or thoughts for magnetizing models?

I've been using 1/8" magnets... small enough for attaching arms on to terminators / space marines.

I une 4mm round ones for my dreads (one on the arm, one on the body) & they work great.

I use 3x3x0.5mm thick square magnets for most of my stuff. Thin enough to surface mount without really noticing them.
