Veterans assembly (magnets)

[Kein]

Hello :)

Started new "lockdown" army, and need some advice about deathwatch kill team veterans magnetising.

If there is some topic\guide, please give a link - unfortunately, didn't find (here and in google) any satisfying solution..

 

Goal: to make all veterans with "his own" chapter shoulder pad, with changeable weapons. Realy want to make "individual" veterans with chapter\name plate on bases

 

Solution 1: (from nice reddit topic) - make "standart" torso magnets and glue both shoulder pads

Drawback:  potentialy lots of "clones" and\or mismatch between pose\weapon

 

Solution 2: drill hand and insert magnet\metal pin to hook shoulder pad to magnet in hand from another side

Drawback (potential): overall solidity decrease and loooots extra magnets

 

Is there any easier way to reach goal that i'm miss ?

 

Thanks for advice, and stay safe everybody :)

Thats a very tedious mission. They have the magnets for it. You're basically going to quadruple your build and paint time. Mostly you need only vets bolters, shields and chainswords

There are no aditions planed, beside weapons, this is one of the points to make "1 vet = 2 pads" :) 

And this is not so much question with "need" motivation, but "want, but not shure how do it right" :)
