What size magnets should I use for space marines indavidual marines and what size for tank turrets

Do a search...this gets asked all the time.


NOTE: most people don't do individual marines.

For one of the current topics on magnets:

I forget the imperial measurement, but I have some 1.26mm (Somewhere near that, I got rid of all the packaging), they work great for arms and smaller things, might work for a turret, haven't tried it but you probably need something like 2-3mm for a turret to feel secure in it.

I've managed to use 3mm by 1mm N52 disc magnets for almost everything for Marines... only had to use smaller ones for weapons onto hands.

For a predator you dont need bigger than 3mm by 1mm anywhere. just fit them well, theyre more than strong enough; I can lift a whole tank by its gun which is magnetized on and its able to hold the weight.
