so I got myself a line breaker squadron (3 vindicators) and was trying to decide what to do with them, (I wanted to do something different) So as I was looking over my army I realized my lack of rhino transports, that's when it hit me, 'oof', I should magnetize the vindicators so that they could also be rhinos for when I'm doing smaller games, or I just want the mobility.

So after much trial and error on getting the magnets in the right places I finally got a magnetized vindicator, though I have yet to glue a few pieces on and paint it. The others will, hopefully, be done within the month.

So here are a few pics of my progress.

all the pieces that will eventually on the vindicator

the rhino version, the top hatches will be filled in, one will have a turret which will also be magnetized

C&C welcome as usual.

Cheers.

Magnetising everything is definitely the way forward - it saves you an absolute fortune on new models.
A friend of mine who has been playing for 20 years recently saw my magnetised Tyrant and Warriors and was astounded that he'd never thought of doing it himself!

I have been meaning to do this for some of my vehicles. (i have both chaos and normal marines and need tanks for both)

I magnetized the top so it could swap between being a rhino and a razor back... But beautiful work there!

I got my magnets off of scifigenre.com, then I used a hand held drill to make small holes in the plastic so I could attach the magnets. Glad you like it. Cheers

	My critcism is constructive, I've seen too many "lesser conversions" that everyone has drooled over but yet no real works of art (or correct for that matter AKA since when did Tervigon= pregenant Carnifex?!)and unfortunatly even Hydra from Warpshadow cannot get Doom of Malantai correct even though alot of his other work is stunning, my point is I am telling people the truth to spur them onwards

The rhino version has been painted, tomorrow I shall paint the vindicator attachments.
