How strong a hold do you get from them?

 

I have tried a couple but tend to find parts move and the model ends up looking off or plain silly (mostly infantry) :unsure.:

 

Most rare earth magnets are pretty darn strong. I have pretty tiny ones that i use for infantry and they hold just fine. If you're having issues with movement I've combined the magnet right next to a pin to keep things in place with great success.

Do you think that it makes a sense to magnetize all models - hands, backpacks (because of change backpack for jumpack) etc. During painting it could be useful because you can paint every part e.g. But to magnetize all models - I do not know. You will probably never change weapons of all models bet e.g. plasma for melta... Vehicles and dreadnoughts - this is something different. 


I do not use magnets often, but when I do this will often happen.

 

Btw what are you thinking of magnetising?

 

 

 

Nice! These dreadnoughts are monsters :)

I have 1 power armour pack that's fully magnetized, Wolf Lord's retinue so can be set up however. Five of my TDAWG have magnetized arms, only options so far are claws and axes. Dreads are good for magnets to allow for weapon swaps.

 

On my infantry I think i use 3mm by 2mm. Holds TDA arms in place well. May be a little overkill for PA but they wont come apart . Not sure what I used on my Dreads.

If I magnetise an infantry model then I do it at the shoulder, fill the body with gs or putty prior to gluing together and drill a hole. On infantry I use 3mm rare earth magnets and they are more than enough. I will do it for character troops so I can change out special weapons

 

Doing backpacks, for jump packs makes a lot of sense also.

 

For the dread, I hvae used 5x1mm rare earth magnets and again they are suitable for the job.

 

I also really struggle with alignment, and FPS suggestion is a really good one. For me what I do, is in the largest prt \i will drill my hole andmake it 2 magnets deep, so it s recessed. Use some paint and put the 2 parts together which gives you a mark for the opposite magnet

This ensures they match up, but it is important that you get the recessed hole as centre as you can. A bonus for the recess is that it makes sure he parts stay in the right place :D

Please excuse my ninjaing this again, but i have another question i hope someone might be able to assist with.

 

I have been searching for potential terminator load outs and keep reading about 'free storm shields' but can't find a note of them in the codex anywhere. Am i missing something? Does this relate to a previous codex? Or am i just losing the plot?

 

Cheers,

Just lost ;) TDAWG can swap their power weapon for a storm shield for free, both items being the same point cost. Of fourse your only weapon is now a storm bolter. I think storm shields and combi weapons are popular loadouts. You'll have to decide on plasma or melta being most useful.

Dear brothers.

I am now working on my Heresy Space Wolves and I need advice. 

 

Preator - wolf lord

Legion command squad - 1

legion veteran tactical squad - 1 

legion tactical squad - 2

legion tactical support squad - 1

deathsworn - 1

grey slayers - 2

terminators - 2

 

My question is which unit to add? Than - only grey slayers instead of vereran tactical squad?

 

Thanks.

Nope, you could take a rhino maybe as dedicated transport, but your squad cannot use it, as no combat squading.... Culd then be used to ferry another unit around or as mobile terrain to hide behind.

 

20 Man unit would have to go in a Spartan or maybe a Storm Eagle.

Dear brothres.

 

I would like to ask for your advice. Before Inferno was released I had made several Space Wolves Terminators with intention to add them to SW great companies. But rules for terminators and Space Wolves terminators do not allow to use weapons for them which I used.  My question is - do we have to follow the rules strictly or the rules have to be applied in more flexible way? 

 

Bellow you can find links where are pictures of my Space Wolves terminators - Tartaros and Cathaphractii.

 

And second question - what's the hell is great frost blade? 

 

Thanks.

As this is a touchy subject for some right now, considering the way Inferno reads, no matter how it was intended...

For the time being, they may not be used with WH30K, or, The HH, because the rules as written from Inferno don't allow some combinations.

At this current time, as well, to say it, many SW players, myself included, are unsure as to what interpretation the writers intended when they wrote the SW Inferno unit entries.
