Looking to start magnatizing my Eldar war walkers and wraithlords. What would be the best sized magnet l would need to mag the weapons?

I used 3mm for mine. They fit into the weapon mounts for the shoulder weapons on the WL (you need to modify those shoulders to take matching magnets, though.

The war walkers used the same, from memory. Just a little work to put the mounting holes in the right spots. And if you keep the polarity the same on all of them, then all the guns can get swapped out.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Do the WL and WW use different mounts then the WS/Falcon? I’ve not built them personally. But I’ve found that the peg/hole set up for the tank guns is almost exactly 2mm. I don’t drill them, just a dab of glue and put 2 stacked magnets in. With the ones I use, it ends up flush on both sides.

WL/WW have different mounts than serpents/falcons.
