T'Karon Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 So an idea just flew into my head, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts on it. Like so many of us I have the Betrayal at Calth box (and will probably pick up 3 more ). Now my biggest dilemma is what to build the squads up as/what weapons to order from FW. Do you guys think it would work if I magnetized the right wrist of the BaC marines so that I can equip them with any weapon I want? Is there enough surface for a magnet? Would these work? http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=DH101 there are smaller ones toohttp://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D101-N52. Thoughts?

Liquid_O Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah 1mm magnets will definitely work on the wrists, although it only work for shooting weapons like bolters and plasma guns. If you're going to get 4 BaC boxes, I think 120 marines is enough to have a variety of weapons without magnetizing.

T'Karon Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 The problem is not the number of marines it is the fact that I cannot make up my mind. Do I want a squad with lots of choom? Maybe a Tac squad with plasma guns etc. By magnetizing each and every marine/shooting weapon, I can build whatever I want for the game at hand, its like having a Space Marine armory Anyway, I think I will give it a go on this first box, and see how it works. Should I place the magnets before or after painting? I am guessing after?

Ordo Machinum Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I have 10 boxes myself, so of the 300 space marines I plan on a few Tactical Support squads with each weapon option: flamers, meltaguns, volkites, etc. A few Tactical Squads. I'm using the Age of Sigmar stormcast upgrade packs to make Breacher shields for a few more squads. I haven't used micro-magnets, so I cannot say but they look like they'd work fine. A bit too much work for me, it's easier to just buy more marines. Ciao, R.
