Which units have you magnetized

[arcticsnake]

Ok, so it's a given that it's generally a good idea to magnetize your Carnifex and Hive Tyrant, but how about the other units? Which other units have you already magnetized (or tried to)?

1. Warriors? (ST to RC to Devs to DS to VC to BS)
2. Gaunts? (Flesh to Devs)
3. Rippers? (One ripper one wound)
4. Stealers? (RC to ST)
5. Raveners? (ST to RC)
6. Broodlords, Guards, Lictors, Hormagaunts, Gargoyles, Spore Mines, Biovores and Zoanthropes? (d'oh?)

Well the colsest one i have from your list is 4 magnetised rippers on my tyrants base acting as a wound counter.

1. Warriors? (ST to RC to Devs to DS to VC to BS)

Prolly a good choice if your on a budget, personally i would rather commit to it and model them in an awesome way. it may be limiting, but the diversity of my fav warriors is limited.

2. Gaunts? (Flesh to Devs)

dime a dozen, can do it if you wish, but just as easy to do both unless your paint scheme takes hours per model.

3. Rippers? (One ripper one wound)

I have 5 rippers a base, so does that mean i have 5 wound ripper models? this could work and may be useful

4. Stealers? (RC to ST)

you COULD... do that, but then how would GW make any money! lol

5. Raveners? (ST to RC)

wait... people sometimes dont take rending on these?

6. Broodlords, - no
Guards - prolly could help... too expensive
Lictors - for the purpose of transport, short answer yes with a but, long answer no with a maybe. Remember, metal models can be much harder to magnetize.
Hormagaunts - nah, only one weapons choice.
Gargoyles - Nah, metal... (only one weapon choice on these right?)
Spore Mines - wait... more than one piece? only if you put them on your biovores base and have spare bases to put them on...
Biovores - one weapon, multiple round choices... not truely worthwhile IMO
Zoanthropes - only if you wanted to make it hover (I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS!)

A quick query (slightly off topic), where would you find the magnets required to hold warhammer models together for sale? I presume they need to be small, well formed and a relativly good strength.

[badgeman]

The magnets needed could be found on ebay or the power magnets store.
Link : www.powermagnetstore.com/index.html they have a link on the website to the ebay page. You would be best using the disk magnets.

Sadly I have never magnetised any of my models so could help with this subject.

Thanks for that! I'm unlikely to convert much anytime soon, I was looking at making some of my big things more carry case friendly!

how are you a norn queen?

Eh, Magnetizing is more work than it seems, even though for gaunts, you wouldn't have to do much, there's a lot of them to do. I think it's worth it more to buy the extra models. Magnets cost money too

[WestRider]

I got my magnets at www.amazingmagnets.com/

Other than Fexes and Tyrants, the only units I think it might be worthwhile on are Warriors, and maybe for the Thorax weapons on Raveners. Nothing else really has enough useful options to make it worthwhile.

And heres my magnet place.

So far I've magnetized 2 carnefexes completely and 40 genestealers completely (including ExtCar, Syth, and heads)

Just do an eBay search for rare earth magnets. Best place to buy them in Australia is from Frenergy Magnets:

stores.ebay.com.au/Frenergy-Magnets

I use the 2mmx1mm and 5mmx2mm types depending on the model size.

So far I've used magnets on warriors, tyrants, carnifexes, tyrant guards and on a range of Eldar vehicles (falcon, fire prism, vypers, war walkers, wraithlord and weapon platforms). I would use magnets on my genestealers but they are all of the 2nd edition or space crusade variety so there is little point
