Hey guys!
I'm kinda new to this whole warhammer 40k wargame and i just bought the assault on the black reach (love to paint the models)
my question is that which units are best to be magnetized? (for orks and SM)
as in like regular space marine or terminator or rhinos be great to be magnetized? boyz?
i've been watching some of the batreps videos in youtube and i think it'll be great to have such flexibility to choose what ur units are going to use as a weapon.
Thanks!

Not sure what you'd want to magnetize in the AoBR boxset, but these are the general guidelines:
- Models that you want to swap special weapons on.
- Models that might carry different banners or other wargear.
- Models with really tall/long/etc items so they're easier to store and transport.
- Models that you might want to pose dynamically for style!

Some examples would be, 1 in 5 space marines can carry a special weapon, so you'd magnetise him and a bolter, melta, flamer and plasma gun. Tanks you can magnetise sponsons so you can swap them or remove them completely. Terminators are good to magnetise if you have or are going to get more special weapons for them to choose from.

I don't know about the starter sets specifically, but I know that I don't regret magnetizing the arms on my terminators for one second.
