Had this Eldrad hanging around for a while and decided to paint him up to fill the time between now and starting my next kill team.

For more of an exercise in modelling than anything else, I was thinking about how I might be able to magnetise him so that he can adopt both buildable poses (ie. sword in hand/sheathed). I was thinking about how I might do this, but I'm struggling for ideas on the sheath (it might not be possible...). Obviously, the arms are easy. For the sheath, I was thinking you could just magnetise it where it would normally attach to the gemstone. This does have the issue though that it might not look very good when it doesn't have the sheath there. So my options are to find something to stand in for the sheath when I don't want it on, or find another way to do it.

I though perhaps you could drill from inside the torso to as close to the back of the model as you can and wedge the magnet in that way. But I thought perhaps this would be difficult to achieve, I might drill through and I will likely misalign it.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

He's got a hollow body. Why not stick a slightly heavier magnet in from the middle?
