Swooping Hawks

The Swooping Hawks may be Wendlepot's new favourite aspect. Big Fergus pinned the Exarch together but the others are held together with superglue and hope. Big Fergus panted one model as seen above then Wendlepot put him to shame by painting the individual feathers on the wings. Big Fergus has added a magnetised Power Sword for the Exarch: all the other weapon options aren't a problem as theres no existing models for the Exarch's gun options, so who's to argue with you if you say he's holding this or that? The sword is an old Eldar Guardian weapon and it has 2 stacked 2mm magnets countersunk into one side. The model has 2 3mm magnets sunk in at the waist to hold the sword.

War Walkers

The War Walkers were the first real test of magnetising. The weapons are magnetised so you can change weapons as army lists, meta-game and rules change. Far better than constantly buying new models.

I've used the same technique on the weapons for the War Walkers, the Guardian Weapons Platform and the Wraithlord so they're all interchangeable:

The mounts are made from a pin in the front of the existing slot mount, here paperclips are best, and a 3mm diameter, 1mm depth magnet in a drilled out recess in the back of the slot. The pin helps to locate the weapon and stop it being knocked off sideways. On the weapons themselves the same is done but without the pin, with a 2mm diameter magnet and the opening is widened for easy mounting:





The bases are also magnetised to the feet. This is for convenience of storage as this way 4 War Walkers can fit in a half height, half width KR Multicase tray. 3mm magnets and suitably long pins give reasonable stability. I've done similarly for Imperial Guard Sentinels and a Wraithlord.
