Hi all
i recently acquired an IK Warden set.
As you know, the IK is really expensive, and massive, and warden goes with a lot of options; i'm not a magnet guru (even if i magnetised my dread's arms and magna-grapple) but sure i whanna magnetise all IK weapons/options so i could swap them and use it for each options

Did someone else magnetised those big guys?
Do you know a good guide for it? a video, a step-by-step written guide, whatever
{ i googled it a bit and i found several videos, but someone looks "less good" than other... so did you know someone in particular you'll advice me?}

Also probably i'll magnetise even the torso/legs section so i could easily store it.
And i will need to buy a new bag for it... probably a Feldherr or a KR case...
did you know what Feldherr bag i need to buy to store it (assuming body splitted in 2 pieces and with all/most weapons options)?

Thank you for your help and advices!

Here is the guide I put together for the weapons and shields;



The write up is somewhere in my post history. I used 2mm magnets, and washers on the elbow joints. Haven't done the legs though, so can't help there.

Cool
you used iron for weapon-section of the arms and several small magnets on arms?

i miss how did you locked weapon barrel (for cannon/melta) to weapon support...

Yes washers made from an iron alloy on the elbows, after sawing off the big peg.

For the melta/battle cannon, the magnets go in the shock absorbers, if you hollow them out you can just get a 2mm one in.

Sorry for "necro-posting" but i finally put online some of the picture i took while magnetising...

here's a gallery
