Magnetizing goliath va rock grinder

[hivefleetkerrigan]

Has anyone tried to magnetize a goliath/rock grinder? Just got one and am not sure what to build so I figured magnetizing is the right way to go.

You don't really need to magnetize anything but the gun.

If you build the back with the tailgate up and the rails on top of the piece that fits on you can have it just pop in. I just didn't glue the ladder to the chassis.

Same thing with the Dozerblade. Just put a bit of greenstuff/thick paint on the tip that connects to the chassis and voila.

The gun is easy enough if you glue the bottom circle piece in or not (the one that fits 90° then you turn.)

I would upload a pic but PC down atm.

Thanks! I'll have to try that when I get another one. I ended up building a rock grinder as I liked the idea of building towards a brigade and also liked the idea of popping a unit of abberants out of the rock grinder. definitely going to try to magnetize the second one.

When you built and painted yours did you attach the gunner on top before or after painting him?

I bought my trio for the same reason. The only reason I didn't do a Grinder is for some reason they only move 10". Somehow our Razorback only moves tank speed as a lightweight transport.

I glued the guy on top of my first one and because I still haven't painted them I only put a drop of superglue on the feet to keep it there for the other 2. Way to much effort to paint for being lazy to build IMO.

3x5 Aberrants in 3x Grinders was a wonderful idea that has seen priced out of potential.

Agreed that it's probably not viable, but it looks really fun. I currently only have one goliath, so I might just run that. I'm also limited in my GSC model count (acolytes especially), so I'm a bit forced to use abberants to make a viable 2k list. Granted, covid isn't doing so great where I live so I've yet to get an in person game of 9th in yet.

I magnetized mine. The turret and truck bed fit really and stay really well, but I found the dozer blade falls off easy. My standard rare earth magnets are 1/8" (3 ish mm?) and they fit super easy where the connection spot is and it looks pretty natural. It is also pretty easy to magnetize the dude in the back on his feet if I remember right, I haven't dug it out in forever and it remains unpainted.
