Where do you get your magnets and what sizes are strong enough for plastic figs, vehicles, metal bits, etc.?

The top ones, pack of 50 have been working great for me.

I got mine on ebay, but they were the rare earth neodimiu...neomi...neo something magnets. You can also just get them right from the source at the rare earth site. The smallest ones I use are (I think) 1.5 lb pull. These are good for plastic heavy stubbers Improved Comms and stuff like that. The larger ones 3 lb+ pull (I think) are better for sponsons, hull weapons or removeable loaders from the heavy weapon base. If you create a socket you can use a lighter magnet. If it's going to be flush mount than you should use a heavier magnet. The only metal piece I've done with magnets is the Plasma Cannon sponsons. They work much better with a stronger magnet (3lb+).

I got mine from www.kjmagnetics.com

got 1/4 in. good for vehicles and carnifexes

3/16 in good for arms and weapons

and 1/8 in basically for symbols and very small things like grenades or bolters not very useful

I received my magnets today from KJ (Rare earth was out of stock on a few that I wanted), thank you gentleman.
