Hey,
Does anyone care to tell me how many workable arms you get from a single box. Sprues look like there is only one shoulder pad each. So I can't get any full spare arms for magnetizing?

My idea behind this is, if I could make a ML/TLC brute out of this box and kitbash another arm(s) with DV mono-pose version. Even the ability to swap the left arm would be suffice..

Thanks..

Here are some shots of the sprues and commentary on magnetizing at the bottom: https://silo41.co.uk/2014/03/20/chaos-space-marine-helbrute-a-review/

I'm pretty sure you can magnetize the LC / MM / PC, as they're all separate cowling + barrels. You could also use them to convert the DV MM out if you don't want to use that. It looks like the ML is its own should mount, and actually all the ccw options look like they have their own shoulders - I know the scourge does, as I've used that and a right powerfist to convert the DV monopose And it looks like there are 4 shoulder pads, with the spiky one split in half.

But yea, you should definitely be able to do a ML / LC dread and then swap some arms out on the DV brute.

Everything can be magnetized.

It's pretty easy to put a magnet in the right arm gun mount. That lets you swap any of the gun options. You can magnetize the shoulder pad so it would fit the right arm with power first.

The left arm options are a little different, you have a missile launcher, a hammer, a scourge, and a melta gun, which are all different ligaments. I magnetized them all, but they attach underneath the shoulder pad so you don't have to swap that.
