There's quite a bit of kit involved and at nearly £50 a pop wanted to maximize the use I get from them.

Has anyone had a successful attempt at magnetising the kit? My priority is the Devastator squad, so swapping out the Grav Cannons for Lascannons.
The chest weapons look do-able after a first (albeit short) look at the sprue. I'm thinking of drilling a hole in the weapon casing itself and attaching a 1mm magnet to the newly formed hole,
allowing the differing weapons to be swapped in and out. I don't think I'll take the missile launcher very often but you never know.

The Assault squad would also be nice but also looks like the hardest challenge of the whole kit.

Any modelling experts out there fancy giving me any pointers or ideas would be much appreciated.

Anyone reading this who has also been checking out the following thread will have to take this as my resignation from the challenge...
I'm a weak-willed fool what can I say?!

for the arms, I opted to to use two 1/16 x 1/32" magnets in a line, about 1/4" apart. I felt this would help keep things aligned correctly more than a single, larger magnet would. I used the same two magnet set up in each of the arm weapon options. it took a lot of magnets, but everything's easy to swap now. one thing to keep in mind is that certain happens match up with certain arms. so, magnetize the bits for each arm one at a time to be sure everything's going to line up correctly.

the last bit of magnetizing (the flamers and meltas to the siege drill arms) is just as straightforward as it looks.

in all, I think it works out to something like 26 magnets per model. there are probably better ways to do it ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559151/6174217.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/559151/6174217.page GMT
