daemon*hunter Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 How do you transport defilers? there pretty big. And not that easy to cut enough holes through layers in army cases, they needs lots of space... You could put them in a seperate box, filled with tissue paper, or bubble wrap, or coton wool or something, but thats arkward to carry...

Zeller Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 How about magnetizing the limbs and pinning the torso/arms so the vehicle can be broken down?

Aarhus Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Actually, magnetizing the legs alone isn't good enough if you want it stable. The best stability/versatility option is to magnetize AND pin the legs, have one right beside/underneath the other. Also, magnet/pinning the torso onto the body is a good idea, since they're all bulky pieces. Check out KJ Magnetics here! They're the best thing to happen to the hobby since the pin vice! D101's are tiny. They're good for heads 'n such. D201's and D301's are good for marine sized objects (arms, legs-to-torso, etc.) D401's are good for slightly larger objects (Flat surfaces, such as Dreadnought arms). However, for Defiler legs, I'd go for D301's. Remember to keep these bad boys as far away from your computer as possible! Cheers, Lawrence.

Seahawk Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 There was a thread in the general forum about this a couple months ago, but I'll show ya how I do it. I magnetize, using various sizes from www.gaussboys.com. First, I stuck one in the base support for the upper body. You might be able to make it out here. It was easy to do; just open up the middle before you glue it together. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3682.jpg Then I stuck a bigger one to the baseplate of the upper body. It's a little bigger than the base one. You can also see here how I put some small round and plate magnets in the arm slots. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3687.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3684.jpg The large weapon bases have four small magnets to hold it on. The small ones have only two, on top and bottom. For both, they can rotate up and down on the magnetic plates. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3692.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3691.jpg I took an extra razorback sprue, drilled out the weapon support, and stuck some round magnets in there and on the guns. That way I can swap for every ranged option in the book. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3693.jpg So here it is all customizable (before I finished it) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3694.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3695.jpg And here's how the whole thing fits into a 2.5" tray from Sabol. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_3681.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146465-transporting-defilers/#findComment-1699323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Lord... all those magnets look complicated... I've found that my defiler fits in a standard GW tank case; as long as you can seperate the "torso"/turret and the lower body/legs into two pieces (Most people can do so easily as they want the torso to be able to rotate). I STILL have room for two full terminator squads in the case, too...

Seahawk Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Lord... all those magnets look complicated... It's actually not bad at all, and all of the magnets used cost about $1 or so for them all. Besides, it's definitely worth it to be able to use any weapon on a whim. Mixes things up for opponents too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146465-transporting-defilers/#findComment-1700436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
