I need some help. Whats the best magnet size, and company, for use with Tau crisis suits from FW. Meaning, what will be small enough to fit, but strong enough to have no wobbly weapons?

Depending on what you're trying to magnetize. From experience, I've found that 1/8" neodymium magnets worked great for my regular Crisis suits (however I needed 2 for metal weapons). 1/16" magnets can work, too, but I've found not well on the arms, as the weapons tend to rotate down.

As a clarification, If you're trying to magnetize the weapons on a FW XV81, 89, etc., 1/8" is pretty much a perfect fit (I have an 89 and I used 1/8"), but you may be able to get away with 1/16", since it's not like the GW crisis suits where you mount the weapon on the side of the arm. I've successfully used the 1/16" magnets to magnetize my XV25s so I can switch out the BC with a FB.
