I made a short video with some photos of my process of Magnetizing my Heavy Warbeast Kit. I know a few other guides are out there but I figured this is a nice and easy video to watch and can be paused to look at the details. Let me know what you think on the video itself, and please excuse the out of focus pictures, I'm still getting used to my new cameras settings. Thanks!

Nice video! How is using that big drill to drill the holes??

Its very, very easy and very quick. You just have to know what you are doing and not drill through the mini.

Ah drat, the hands are attacked to the shoulder? Ordered a got a metal Scythean and was happy, then two weeks after that they released the plastic models.... And now I see that the arms are quite different (on the metal ones the seperation is at the elbow).

Hmmm... gotta snatch of the whole arm, oh well, very nice vid.

Sorry but no! The Scythean and Ravagore arms are attached at the elbow to the hands, so its 2 pieces for each arm for those 2. The Carnivean is the only one that you don't have the shoulders unattached from the hands themselves. I actually didn't glue the hand portion to the shoulder portion until right before I drilled the holes. I waited but put them on before the drilling/magnets because I wanted to make sure that the hands were in the right positions and pose, so I put them to the joint to see where the whole arm would go, and placed the magnet in the joint to try and get that perfect pose.
Scythean arms = Shoulders separate from arms
Ravagore arms = Shoulders separate from the forearms/hands
Carniviean = One piece shoulder/ forearm/hands

Nice Vid though the idea of using a Power Drill would freak me out in case it went wrong.
I used a Pin Vice (with 3mm bit) to drill the holes on my models and it was perfect for the magnets I had (looks about the same size as yours, I don't really know Imperial measurements)

To save myself a little work I just glued the Scythean Arms at the elbow and I use the Carnivean arms for the Ravagore.
It looks fine and different.
