Magnetising Dreadknights

[Skywrath]

Any of you have any experience with it? If so, how did you do it?

I used some 2mm by 1mm neodymium magnets in the right hand's wrist and the sword and hammer (i did have to source a spare thumb for the hammer from a bits site)

 

Next I just glued the heavy incinerator in place on one of the arms chose one of the weapon backs that I liked the look of (think it was the psy cannon's one) and glued it into place before putting a magnet in the stub that sticks out of the weapons body again using the 2mm x 1mm magnets, then magnetized the barrels for the psycannon and psilencer.

 

Also used another pair in the waist of the terminator body just to make transporting it easier.

 

All in all one of the easier magnetization jobs I've done to date, just remember to dry fit until you get a tight enough fit and always check your polarisations orientation

Thanks for the response. With those magnetizations, do you have to drill the holes, or is it simply shoving the magnet in and super-gluing, calling it a day? I got a bunch of 3mm magnets coming my way soon, as the GW employee recommended I go with those.

Aaaalways drill and glue the magnet flush to the surface.

 

Unless of course you can get away without drilling or cutting anything.

Rereads his previous post, Realises he didn't mention actually drilling any holes at all, yep definetly drill holes for the magnets first

This might be a little late, but I put a post on magnetizing Grey Knights up in the Resources thread (pinned to the top of this page), several years ago. Check it out.
