This is how I did it, it's not necessarily the best way or the only way, I'm posting just because I was looking for something like this and couldn't really find anything easily available so maybe it'll help someone else Ymmv etc etc.

Also, sorry, I didn't take pics of doing this in his left arm, because I just didn't really think about it at the time, so this mostly concentrates on his right arm, which was more difficult to do in any case, as you will see.

You don't have to paint him to do this, I just did in areas I thought would be difficult to do later.
First step was identifying where I wanted to put the magnet. So here's his right arm hole, as you can see there's a bit of plastic that is part of the chest I believe, in the way a bit:



I just took my regular clippers and cut a chunk off to make room for the magnet.


Here it is with the magnet in place:


This is a shot of the magnets I'm using, they're about 6mm wide. I wanted something with a good amount of surface area to prevent the fairly heavy (for a model) arms from falling or otherwise not staying. And also in case I didn't quite manage to get the magnets lined up correctly, it would theoretically still hold the arms in place.


Step 2 - a more difficult question. How to make sure the arms and the magnets line up correctly? Thanks to Rusty Tincanne @ the Underempire for giving me the idea, I drilled a smallish pilot hole through the top of the shoulder, into the arms below.


here are the arms with all the small pilot holes drilled in. I held them in place as firmly as possible and inserted my pin vise into the previously drilled pilot hole in the shoulder to make sure each arm had the same approximate angle of hole.




Drilling into one of the arms:

Step 3:
With the first pilot holes drilled, I took a larger bit in my pin vise to start enlarging the hole so it would eventually fit the magnet. I did this slowly to keep control, not go too deep into the arm (and thus out the other side) as well as to make sure I kept the hole as round as possible and centered.


Step 4:
An even larger drill... this is the scary part! I have a couple things to say about this, obviously safety should be your first concern, so be careful! Another thing is, if you don't have a drill that you can control the torque on, I don't suggest you do this at all in this way. You have to go very slow, and steadily, to really make it work.

The way I did it, I set the drill just as you see, on top of my surface, so I wasn't trying to keep it horizontal at the same time as the part. Also, this way, if anything went wrong I could just remove my hands really easily. And it gave greater control over the part and how much material I was removing.

As my magnets are 6mm, the drill bit I used was the closest I could get, at 13/64ths. I actually started enlarging the hole with a drill bit larger than my pin vise but smaller than the 13/64th one so I could gradually increase the diameter of the hole.


Here's one of the arms after the big drill. You can see (I hope) that the hole created isn't flat on the bottom, because I didn't want to go through the entire arm, so I stopped early.


Step 5:
Cleaning up the hole, so you can put your magnet in (flat-ish).
The pic below is the bit I used from my dremel to make the sides and the bottom of the drilled hole as flat as I could, as well as increase its diameter a bit, as it was still too small to actually fit the magnet in.

Also, slightly funny: I couldn't find the magnet on my desk I'd intended to put in this arm, til I looked finally at the other arm hole of the Verminlord and lo and behold, magnet hehe. Love strong magnets!

Anyway, you'll note, I put a mark on one side of the magnet with a permanent marker, I do this so I can make sure I'm putting the magnet in, on the correct side. I always test first, mark it with the marker, and make sure before I glue it in, again. If I can see the mark on the magnet I know it's in correctly.



here's the magnet in the arm, the hole's a bit larger in sections than it should be for a snug fit, but overall it works. I also check frequently when removing material to make sure that you can't see the hole I'm making when the part's in place.


Checking that the arms fit ok and work (other arm I did previously)


And finally, here are the shots with all the various arms in place!





And the set:


*note* I didn't complete the magnetsing of the other left arm, because there are two "wrists" to do for it, one that holds the Doomglaive (long double weapon) and one that holds the assassin style VL's large shuriken type weapon. I haven't gotten to that part yet but those are pretty much just standard magnetising so I doubt anyone will have trouble with that bit anyways.

Hope you enjoyed this!
