Magnets Revisited

[wolf363839]

I previously used some 1/16 x 1/32 tiny magnets to do my wolves. The intent was to prevent a heavy arm like a storm bolter or power fist from rotating downwards instead of staying in the pose I choose for him.

 

However, I have found a much easier way to do this. I am now using 1/8 x 1/16 magnets that are more powerful and larger. As you can see from the photo, just two of these are enough to drag a Rhino around. They are also strong enough to prevent rotation. Same idea for "insertion" applies: use a 1/8 drill bit and slide one magnet off the stack into the hole.

Although amusing, why the terminator arm?

Are You going to use him ona guy popping out from the top hatch to depict the Rhino storm bolter? Funny, because I have made the same conversion ;)

Nope. I'm magnetizing my entire army that way. I want to be able to use all the options in the codex without having extra marines. No matter what craziness is in future books/rules, I'll just swap arms and keep on truckin' (or Rhino-ing).
