I was wondering if any has had success or even tried in magnetizing las/plas so you dont lose the capability of still being able to use TL LC and if so could they describe their process? I know i can easily convert it to las/plas just really don't want to waste my options if i can get it magnetized even if i might have some difficulties. Fyi- no magnetizing experience would be first time doing it

A lot of sites do las-plas razorback tops, fairly cheap too

Here's a quick and easy tut:

-Personally, I would also magnetize for this tut, but that's personal preference.

Another example. No tut, but kind of explains what's going on in the photos. I'm not as big a fan of this, but it could easily be changed with different bits:

A slightly different take on the approach:

Personally, my take when I get around to doing it:

Chop a barrel off the TL Lascannon on top (or make hole new apparatus in general, might look lopsided if you just chop it).
Use 1 of the hatches to put in 2 plasma gun bits (similar to a few of the examples). Then, you've got your main turret (las) with a TL plas mini-turret. Time and money atm demand I probably just go for the 1st tut.

I dislike them all, generally, but the first one is the least offensive to my sensabilities.

Yea the only one that looks good enough and probably the only one that seems reasonable to magnetize for both is the first one that was linked. Which is pretty much what I already figured I would do.

Yeah, I've got to agree with you guys. They aren't wonderful conversions, but at least it's something to get an idea off of, maybe for a conversion of your own design?

Best of luck
