I found this very neat and useful article at the The War Blog here
How to magnetize AoBR Terminators
Anyway here is the tutorial:
What you'll need:
AoBR Termi; Glue; Magnets; Drill Bits |
First you want to remove the little bolt where you would normally attach the arm.
Next you need to drill a small pilot hole for the drill that is the same size then your magnets.
Then you can drill the big hole for the magnet.
After that just glue the magnet in place
(REMEMBER NOT TO SCREW UP THE POLARITY ON THE NEXT STEP)
Take the arm you want to magnetize...
...drill the hole for the magnet...
...and glue it in place.
(REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE POLARITY!)
Let the glue set and then you can attach the arm to the body.
DONE!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me down in the comments below!
Polarity you said...check it?, nice tutorial, assault cannon for long range and flamer for short range?
ReplyDeleteIf the polarities are wrong (ie North to North, South to South) the magnets will repel and sadly your termie will have no arms!
ReplyDeleteThats the general idea for weapons, but it also gives you options to swap out close combat weapons too.
Very cool. A bit on the pricey side for the magnets and the extra bits, but what about this hobby isn't?
