ierthling Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Fellow flesh-eaters: have any of you magnetized the arms/wings for your horrors/flayers? I’d like to have both options, and I’m used to magnetizing, but the connections are so uneven and weird I’m having trouble figuring out how to manage it. If you’ve done it, I’d love to hear about how you approached it, or see some pictures of how you arranged the magnets!

XReN Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I've done it kinda brutish way and I don't spend time during games to arrange options perfectly So what I did was just drilling holes in bodies and limbs and placing 1mm in diameter by 2mm long magnets adding some tamiya putty where needed, now for the sad part - they turned out to be loose and not being able to manage the weight of limbs, I'll do this again after I get more of those models with larger magnets in bodies, since there is not much room left in limbs even after 1x2 magnets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To find a fitting horror right arm to torso number 3 is just stupefying work Now the deep end of misery, my skills with the drills is not worth mentioning... the same shame as @XReN but with 2mm diameter x 1mm depth, which are also not able to provide enough torque resistance for a halfdecent arm positioning. so I personally would recommend 3broad x 1deep mm magnets on the body and 2x1 on the arms. The positioning of the drill holes needs to be on point for both armvariants and you might want to be capable of green stuffery to clean up any bumps and gaps left. For good looks, you’ll of course need to store them armsets securely. if you don’t care about gaps and cracks and high end diorama miniatures, work is pretty easy: Drill a hole in the torso, glue a magnet inside. Now a drop of paint on the magnet and press both arm variants against the torso to get counterspots. Drill your holes into the arms, put countermagnets on the torso, blacken the backside of them with marker for orientation, glue magnets into armslots... done.

deynon Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I have to realize a video about. Anyway it's simple. Simply link the arms to che back and remove only the front part of the shoulders of the arms. You need dofferent magnets about it. For the head. 2x2 one in the neck, 2*1 in the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ierthling Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks guys - I fooled around with it for a bit and then just gave up and made all horrors. It was all too fiddly. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway there are no gaps those you see it's cause I didn't perfectly positioned them while making the photo. Moreover I used bright color in painting so those gaps seem larger than they are. Add also that the photo is done quite closer to the models so each imperfection in maximised^^ Anyway feel free to try and I'd like to see also your choices about, I always like to study alternative ways to magnetize^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bademeister Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I drilled quiet big holes 3mm in the arms, wing and body. used magnets 3mm diameter and 2mm higt. it worts really good. you just have to drill the holes depp, so got don't get any gaps between the limbs and the body.

That's very usefull, mind sharing some pics? I wasn't sure if shoulders can hold 3mm magnets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if shoulders can hold 3mm magnets I talked about it in the video. Anyway shouders on the arms can wield 3mm, but I'd not suggest more than 1mm deep ones. On the body you are more free, but if you want to also magnetiza the back it's quite delicate cause the grip position is quite borderline in some of the backs. I decided to use another magnetizing cause it mainly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
