Magnetising Terminator Arms: Now with pic

[Brother-Librarian Haegl]

  Hello all brothers and sisters on the B&C!

 

  As you may notice, I have only recently registered. Therefore, feel free to notify me of any mistakes in this post/topic.

Now to the subject:

I've been doing a lot of wrist magnetisation recently, and had the following idea for magnetising TDA arms:

  You probably get the picture (the red lines represent cuts). The pin could be replaced with another set of magnets, but I suppose that would be overkill, thinking of the work and resources spent on doing so.

 

  I find this idea appealing as I can see it working for both normal Storm Bolter/Power Sword/Thunder Hammer arms, as well as Power Fists/Lightning Claws without the need for arm magnetisation, saving the trouble of getting extra pauldrons. I am aware that using this on Assault Cannons/Heavy Flamers will require more work, but nevertheless...

 

  Please note that I am probably not going to use this technique in the foreseeable future due to having to redo my entire army... being a perfectionist sucks.

 

  Anyway... thoughts?

Somethings up with the pic......but are you cutting the arms below the shoulder and above the elbows? If yes, I can confirm it is quite viable.

@Grotsmasha:

 

  The thought is to cut right below the elbow, where the PF/ thickened wrist thingie starts, magnetising the elbow- and wrist ends. Aditionally pinning the pipe under the arm into the PF/LC/wrist prevents it from rotating. 

 

I also need to find a guide as to how to post pics...

Pics are pretty straight forward, just add img] at the start and [/img at the end of you pics link (be sure to add the opening/closing brackets).

 

Cheers,
