Pinning and Magnetizing

[meeki]

Hello,
I have a few questions about modeling nids. I plan on magentizing the bio enhancements on my carni's, tyrant, and MAYBE my warriors. The other models soon to be in my army are zoanthropes, stealers, gaunts, and hormagaunts.
I noticed the bio enhancements are fairly small for the human sized models and was wondering if it is worth it to pin the bio enhancements so I can put them on later or should I just pick what I want to mainly use, for hormagaunts, and stick to keeping them as is since they won't seem to change much. It almost seems like more work than its worth to pin toxin sacs, I'd rather just take them every time and glue them to the gaunts.
Stealers have a larger selection and I think might be worth pinning some and maybe magnetizing scything blades.

Is it worth the hassle to make the smaller models convertable?

The Carnifex... MOST definitely! Get bang from the buck there. On the Tyrant and Warriors would be useful to change weapons. Regarding Genestealers, I would not bother. It would be easier (and faster) to build 12 of them with ST, in case you want to use them.

Making the smaller models magnetic, specially on large numbers, would be a pain. Regarding bio-enhancemets... don't bother. First, they are very small... and second, most people don't know what they are so there is not even a problem in WYSIWYG. Someone complaining about an adrenal gland not being pin on a Genestealer is analogous to complain that a Space Marine not having a Purity Seal or a Krak Grenade.

My Carnifex is magnetized... VERY useful! Good luck!

Thanks for the info.

The battle for Mac gaunts, are they full sprues of gaunts with all the options?

[Mordheimer]

Nope... Vanilla Gaunts.

Gaunts with fleshborers to be exact.
