I finally got one of these plastic monsters. I bought it for myself for Christmas.
Now I need to find the correct size N52 magnets and re-watch this video about a dozen times. Can't wait! Thanks for the inspiration Nick.
Awesome stuff, it's a fun model to build and paint, and to play too :D
wow, 8 years since the release of this video! and its just helped me out today for my first magnetization project. thank you!
Glad it was useful 😁
just finished building mine like this. worked a treat. made some minor changes because i was working with different sized magnets, but it still came together. a couple things i'll say:
1) as you mentioned, the base of the c'tan prison doesnt need to be glued in because it already fits tightly onto the stem. so instead of doing more magnets on the 'head' of the prison, so that you can get inside of it, i just assembled the whole thing. then, i can take the entire prison off its stem when i need to. i had to jury rig a flying base to hold it up when its on its own, but that wasnt hard.
2) when its in the tesseract vault formation, the panels _do_ stay up decently enough, but theres still too much wobble for my liking. so next im going to magnetize some support pieces that will connect each panel together, closer to the top. then it should be perfect. and i can use the leftover bits and scarabs from the sprues to make the supports look like reforming necrodermis.
anyway, thanks for the great design!
Thanks buddy, glad the video was useful 👍
Just finished my magnetization and I'm so happy you made this video as its saved me so much time on figuring out where things go. My magnets aren't secured as clean or accurately but for my first time using magnets, this video has been the best for getting things done
Awesome stuff, that's great to hear, I'm glad it was useful
Dude, I've been waiting for someone to post a video on how to magnetize this thing and of course my Necron brethren Nick was the first to do. Love your work brother, can't wait to get this thing finally built.
Thanks fella, it's a massive model, very cool. Hope the tutorial helps, feel free to ask any questions during the process
That's great. I used to play 40k in 3rd, 4th and 5th editions. 8th edition might be bring me back. Got 2700 points of necrons under my bed haha.
Excellent news, that will probably be about 4k points now lol Everything has gone up so much ha ha
Very nice tutorial. Braking down a complicated project into easy to follow steps so anybody can have a go. Making it a lot less daunting, I wouldn't know where to start magnetising a model like this. I think I will pass this video on to my brother so he can start rebuilding his vault, after my storm surge D'd it to oblivion. Lol!
Great job mate look forward to seeing it painted and on the table.
+Essex Boyz lol thanks mate :D
When I get this model I'll be sure to be following this tutorial. Keep up the good work.
Thanks pal, glad it was useful
Really, thank you so much! I must glued the corners to the "rope", cut and glued 4x 4x2 neodim magnets for more solid structure, but this is a great tutorial, sorry for my english, I also learning listen to you! Thx a lot!!
No problemo, glad it was useful :D
Thank you very much my friend for this video! I've just completed my tesseract/obelisk with your instructions and it worked like a charm!
Awesome stuff, that is great to hear, thanks for the comment too, means a lot to know I have helped :D
Woah I will say now my army can actually have both instead of my getting upset I can’t use both :) Thankyou sir I will definitely do this when I get mine
No problemo, I have a lot of videos on magnetising Necrons so I hope they will be useful
this just got me more hyped to start this hobby! love the universe, loved dawn of war, FREAKING LOVE THE NECRONS!
Awesome stuff my friend :D NECRONS!!
all i still need are buckets upon buckets of money hahaha. just ordered the index so i can start figuring out with what i want to start :D
Oh wow! Its awesome to see you made an instructional video as you did it for magnetising this awesome kit!! I magnetised mine soon as it was released and it's nice to see we had pretty much the same thought processes about where to do it, except I didn't have confidence in my ability to successfully do option 2, I went with a variation of your option 3 by cutting out a disc shaped hole, then making a green stuff mould of a section of the inner wall, then using that as a press mould for green stuff to cover it instead of plasticard. Worked just as good though! I also didn't magnetise my C'tan, as I felt no need to at the time... Except I broke the stem in the video I made so I'll likely be doing it anyway! (yes, even 4 years later, I haven't finished the model, it's semi painted xD )We did use the same size magnets, and also cut out exactly the same places and magnetised the same parts/sections! Its kind of obvious where it really needs it though.
I also took (and credited!) inspiration from you, on how I introduced myself in the video, I'm not exactly confident at this kind of thing. Also, your video is much better quality annnnd it shows how to do it step by step! Brought back memories of the pain it was scraping out the plastic on those Y-beams and supports attached to it!Makes me want to finish painting mine now! Good job Nick!
Thank you fella, yeah there weren't many tutorials around so thought it was worth making one, it's a cool model for sure :D
IDICBeer 40k I think it's great how you've ran through every bit that needs magnetising clearly, and you even managed to scrape away the plastic just deep enough for the corner sections! Have you painted this now by any chance? Do you have Flickr or something where you post pictures?
Yeah I painted it and two Monoliths at the same time...ua-cam.com/video/cadLFAu0ezo/v-deo.html
Will definitely be following this when i finally get around to getting one of these :)
Good stuff :D NECRONS!!
Ty for making this video I've been thinking about buying one and was worried about having to buy 2 of them lol
Glad it was useful :)
Very helpful tutorial. Laid out how you did it it seems very easy to get a grasp of doing it
+ta24u Thanks mate, glad you liked it
just got and this helps immensely!! keep up good work. I'll be referring to your channel in the future.
Thanks dude, glad it's going to be useful
Really awesome tutorial; got one of these coming later this week and this will be a huge help :)
+SkonkBot Excellent, glad it was useful, it is a great model. Just shout if you get stuck and thanks for the sub :D
great tutorial nick. I'd say it took a good bit of planning
+Spunge Hammer Thanks mate, yeah I built it over a period of time and made sure I recorded each section
Great tutorial mate that is going to help alot of people who buy this model. Well done ;)
+Mikey's Miscasts Thanks a lot mate
What a monster to mag! Good job mate :)
+Table Top Banter Cheers dude
I thought your tutorial on the Ghost / Doomsday Ark was awesome, but this takes the cake. I hope to pick up one of these eventually (after I get three Arms first) and that's one hell helluva build.
Please PM me postal information, I owe you a pint (or six).
Thanks fella, I have been working on the quality of my videos so pleased you can see improvements. Nothing owed as making the vids and sharing is all my pleasure ::D I appreciate the thought though
Thank you! Starting one today!
Awesome, good luck and shout if you get stuck
Very good work! that's a complicated project indeed!
+kiblams Thanks mate
ooh those pesky Nenrons... ;)
great tutorial though mate, nice work!
+TG ZoBo lol thanks dude
Thanks for the video im getting one soon so this was great to see
Always happy to share :D
Fantastic effort, great stuff
+cruorangelussilicis Cheers mate
Having had this model now for a while, are there things you would have done differently in the magnetization? Perhaps stronger, attached them differently? It's a beast of a model and not necessarily easy to predict how well the magnetization will work. And great job! I'm watching it again and again as I work with my vault.
I have not had any issues with it yet, so nothing I would change really, it's a tough kit to make interchangeable, but I can't see there's too much more that can be done
Thanks for the quick reply. I have a bunch of 1.5mm x 0.5mm really thin magnets that I was considering lining the torn edges with to make the Obelix form stay tighter, but I am not sure if they can generate enough pull to make it worthwhile.
The torn edges seems to join together very well with out them :)
Great vid buddy
+pancakepayney payne Thanks a lot mate
Could you use a pin vise instead of a hobby knife for some of those holes/excavations? It seems like an easier way to go about it in some of those places, but I'm unsure if there's some issue I'm unaware of that would make it a bad idea.
It's probably a bit thin for a drill piece as they usually are not flat when drilling as the drill piece has a poiint. You could try it though
Great job m8 looks cool as well
+E-TRON! Thanks buddy
Just got one of those, do you think this tutorial is ok for beginners? I mean beginners in magnetizing, never done it before
I'm sure you could do it, but it would be fair to say you would be throwing yourself into the deep end. I'd recommend you watch this video as well so that you are fully prepared ua-cam.com/video/AIt4wRvwOVw/v-deo.html
@@IDICBeer thank you very much for the answer, to be honest since the video posted was 4 years ago I wasn't really expecting an answer in the short time, thank you very much! Gonna watch that video right now!
@@riccardofilippone5806 No problem, I hope it helps
Great work
What sizes were the magnets used & how many of each? I'm going to give it a go myself.
I used 5x1mm and 3x2mm magnets in this tutorial, not sure how many though, you might have to just watch and count, sorry
@@IDICBeer thank you for that information. I'll just buy a bunch of each.
If you paint over the magnets, will they still work?
Yes they will work still buddy
This will save me U.S. 160 dollars
Good stuff :D
what glue did you use for this. I am trying to do mine like this but I just cant get the magnets to stick as they are so strong.
Normal super glue. If you put a small piece of green stuff into the hole first and use a tool to hold the magnet as appose to more magnets you shouldn't have any problems
Great video, but I have a question, I have a lot of magnets that are 3x1mm or 5x2mm (and even 10x2mm) which would you recommend me to use for doing the same type of magnetise job?
Because I fear that my 3x1mm will not be strong enough and the 5x2mm will be to thick ☹
Hi dude, what rating are the magnets you have? I wouldn't use anything less than N45, although N52 is the best. N38. You will find the 5x2mm magnets will be to thick to get into some of the joints. Might be worth looking at getting some 5x1mm if you can
IDICBeer 40k They are both N52, I bought them at guysmagnets.com
Ok that's good, just watch the thickness, you can check the depth before you cut them
IDICBeer 40k Do you think that were you put the 5x1mm if I put my 3x1mm it will be strong enough? And on the wraiths spine would it be possible to use the 5x2mm?
Honestly, I don't think they would be man enough, but you can try. If they don't work you can take them out and put bigger ones in
hey buddy could you tell me the size of the magnets you used in mm and inches?
Not sure what they are in inches but the big ones were 5x1mm and the small ones were 3x2mm
hey where did you buy the 3x2 magnets? i cant find them anywhere? and would any other smaller size work?
I got mine here my friend www.guysmagnets.com/neodymium-magnets-c11/3-mm-x-2-mm-n52-high-grade-neodymium-disk-p407 Slightly small should work, just make sure you get N52 strength, Nick
ty!
Any time my friend
NENRONS!!!!
NECRONS!! :D
i built this obilisk last night now i goto learn how to use it before a tournament im going to enter but before the tournament on friday im versing elder and orks 3 free for all i have read somone said i can give the middle finger to elder for some reason with this obelisk i dont know why yet would u be able to tell me and also trying to find somthing to carry it in so it doesent get damaged cant fit in my other carry case so got to look for another one
Not really sure what they mean about the Eldar, but it's main benefit will be the T8. Mine is magnetised of course so easy to store, maybe a big box with bubble wrap until you can find something else
Awesome. How many magnets are you using?
Thanks dude, I think it works about at about 34 magnets
That was a quick response!
34 5x1 and 4 3x2?
I think it was 34 in total, you can work it out from here www.idicbeer.co.uk/2016/03/how-to-magnetise-necron.html
Thanks!!!
My pleasure, just shout if you get stuck :D
Bought one on day one and never magnatised it 😢, even though I magnatise everythjng else hahaa I still look back and can't remember why i didnt....
Ha ha magetisers regret =)
do you do commissions ? maybe If I bought one you could do this for me ?
Hi fella, sadly I don't have time for commissions, I have too much of my own stuff to do lol
ah ok no worries :) , I mean I'd try It myself but I am rubbish at manetizing.
I do painting commissions as I have no problem with that hahaha
Since it's been over a year, any regrets not magnetizing more of the Vault pieces to the outside walls?
No not at all, still very happy with what I did with it
what sizes are all the magnets?
5x1mm mate
+IDICBeer all the magnets were that size? thanks for answering!
+Isaac Raymond one more thing I'm in the states recommendation on where to get them?
Yes, except for the smaller ones for the C'tan, they were 3x2mm
I would start with eBay, most shops that would sell them have eBay shops too
Nenrons.
NECRONS!! :D
Great work
+Aceface Thanks mate
