I want to get 1-2 Fiends for my CSM army and to magnetise them between Maulers/Forges with different weapon loadouts.

Has anyone done this who can give me some tips? Like what magnets to use and how to do it?

I want to magnetise the two different guns for the forgefiend and the magma cutters/lasher tendrils for the maulerfiend, plus the head so I can fit a third ectoplasma cannon if I want.

This goes through it quickly but the principals are quite simple:

You want magnets that fit. There are too many different sizes to list and at least a couple dozen that will work for what you want. Take some measurements and see what size you need. My guess would be a model that size can fairly easily fit 1/4" in the arm sockets but there are many different thicknesses and strengths as well as shapes that will work. I tend to keep several different sized magnets on hand for my needs.

Generally I find 1/8" to be the most common and have both 1/16" and 1/32" thicknesses on hand. For larger models or vehicles I keep 1/4" around as well. I also have a few 3/8" that don't see much use.
