Also a tip for doing magnets in the future, don't pull them off the stack when you put them in, just put a blob of glue in, insert the magnet off the end of the stack, then slide the rest off to the side and the one that was in the hole will stay in place. good way to keep your polarities proper too.
Got to be careful if you drill too deep, you might be able to push two magnets inside. Dull hobby knife also works well - get the magnet off the stack on the work hobby knife tip and push it inside - will not matter if you get some glue on it also
I had considered that, but these magnets are so small that even when I put a single drop of glue in the hole when I placed the magnet in the glue still came up and out and would have got possibly got glue on the next magnets and caused more problems lol 😛
@@MiniatureHobbyist Put a small piece of paper between the magnet that is going into the hole and the rest of the stack of magnets. Put the glue in the hole, then put the single magnet into the hole. Hold the paper, and slide the magnet stack off. Then remove the paper. The paper keeps the stack of magnets clean of glue. If the paper gets glue on it, then you can throw it away.
If you do want to keep your polarities in check, take a dowel or pencil and glue a magnet to each end. Make sure the polarities are lined up so one side points north and one side points south. Then paint one side of your new magnet tool and you'll always be able to check the polarity to make sure everything matches. I just did this with the rampart scenery, and it saved so much time and fiddliness.
Had problems with a buddy's ITD terrain at a tournament recently. Definitely bookmarking this and some wire and magnets here stateside to do this when I build mine.
At the end of the video, cut to a shot with you looking into the camera… with a ‘Bill making stuff’ look of bewilderment… Excellent video mate! Keep up the amazing work. That is a huge amount of work, I love your approach to this stuff.
This antique-looking bronze base colour is exactly what I was looking for. And the bright red cabling is a great contrast. I'll be using a similar scheme for my Boarding Actions terrain. Many thanks for the inspiration and best wishes from Germany. Happy gaming!
I just did two kill teams with magnetized arms for weapons, and I have to recommend the Wowstick drill pen. Perfect for 1.5mm magnets from the magnet baron. Don't go bigger, it'll be too big. Also magnet baron has polarizing tools that you can use to easily see which side is which, and can use to just stick the magnet in the hole with a hit of glue, wait a minute to dry, and then slide it off
Watching the glue together section and thinking.... plenty of parts to use my blue stuff on. Glad you managed to get a video out mate and look forward to the next stream showing it off.
There was more parts than I was expecting, not that Im complaining lol, Im hoping to livestream tomorrow night painting the kroots, just hope the stream works this time lol =)
Really creative idea! Not sure if I'm ready to be as bold as you were with the magnets, but it's really an inspiring idea! (Might be something I can re-visit based on whatever comes out with the subsequent Space Hulk related releases...)
Nice board at the beginning. 6:45 the bitz for the collumn halfs are separate because its very hard to properly add details on two faces 90° to each other in the mold. Thats also likely the reason why there are no half collumns with connectors on each side.
Using rods instead of magnets is a great idea! However, the magnets and the slots both have their strengths and weaknesses… How about combining them? I would suggest sanding the connectors thinner to get a loose fit, then cutting a slot in the connectors for metal rods. Finally, you could put the magnets in the slots on the walls. That way, the slots will add the stability you usually lose by using magnets.
Hey man, I love your videos, i can’t wait to see how you paint the navy breachers, if I can suggest a kill team to paint, I would suggest legionary’s their strong and I’d be interested In your colour scheme
Cheers bud, just getting the Kroot ready to paint, then the breachers, I will take a look at the Legionares though, Im sure I will get round to them all lol =)
hoping to do this when I get round to my ITD terrain, I have a question I see a fair few others are asking as well, how did you tackle the narrative sprue parts, for example the pipes and objective parts?
How do matey sorry it's been a while since I last commented but all I can say is outstanding - a simple technique which can be used at all skill levels producing great results. One bit though is to try keeping magnets together when placing them in the holes that way you can keep the polarity the same (sorry a bad description) Anyway keep up the great content.
Cheers buddy, I had considered that, but these magnets are so small that even when I put a single drop of glue in the hole when I placed the magnet in the glue still came up and out and would have got possibly got glue on the next magnets and caused more problems lol 😛
Only thing I would have done differently was to keep one of the tabs in the walls so you'd have that tab to keep them true vertically every time. Probably would have saved you a magnet as well, but great work!
Keep one of the tabs will kill the look of the Metalrod and as a advanced Magnet user: As long as they're straight in the wall, they'll stick straight.
@@MiniatureHobbyist I'm not talking straight as in a 90 degree between the walls but having them sit flush on the board without adjustment such as @16:50 since you're not connecting them at singular points but along a rod they can shift along.
Can you please tell me what is the horizontal distance between one pillar and the other? Is it always the same (or a multiple) for all the walls? I have a magnetic board with a pattern made of 50x50mm tiles with a magnet in the center. I am wondering if it is possible to put a bagnet on the bottom of these new pillars and use my old board base
i really wish GW would start making models with optional magnets in mind, tau battlesuits are the primary criminal here - too many weapons needed, you HAVE to get a drill to efficiently play your army. same thing here, i'm pretty sure they could have somehow put some slots for magnets in the connectors
Hey, just wondering if you know way to stop the sprue goo from bending after being rolled out? I tried making rolled out bases, but it keeps bending the base significantly.
This set is great I think I'm going to make this terrain for the bottom lvl of my Kharadron overlords sky port as has a nautical theme to them. If I ever get it done is there a place we can send you a picture of are work?.
You can join the Discord (link under this video) and put your work in the creations channel. Notify MH in the Hi Guys channel though, or else he probably won't see it.
@@MiniatureHobbyist thankyou I had just ordered another pack of 50 magnets (I use them for keeping my bases in a box with magnetic sheet) but I will put them to use in this terrain. Thankyou for the reply, hope you have fun magnatizing youn minis.
@Mini Hobbyist.. for the magnets... leave them in a stack and just insert on into the glue filled hole. draw to the side and the one in the hole stays.... push flush, done ;)

Lovely tip on the metal rods for magnetising. Great video, packed with as much great entertainment as that box is with scenery. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, the metal rods are a stroke of genius well done sir!
Honestly the Octarius box has still been my favorite box of killteam. I'm making a board with the same files you used. Thanks for the tips!
Fantastic result, glad it worked out!
Cheers, yup I was relieved lol =)
Thanks for the video, nice work :) Love the look of them so much and the magnet method is great too 👍
Looking great! Always love a good use of magnets
Cheers, yup I will be using them more =)

Great Tutorial! Can't wait to do some more terrain now😀
Cool, have fun =)
Sweet glad you did the terrain with magnets
Cheers me too, it all goes together so easy =)
great video! giving me looks to ponder!
Looks great, i'd like the same set, can't wait to see the kill team and a battle report 😀
Cheers, just getting the Kroot ready to paint =)

Great job! In combination with your talking over your work very interesting
awesome idea!
Thanks!
You are an absolute boss, going to steal this idea for my box.
Awesome, hope it goes well =)
Love your videos, can you do one on how you did the little pieces? I was following this as a guide.
Great Work!
Cheers =)
Looks good, well done! would like to see a video of you assembling a table with magnets
Thank you, do you mean a terrain table =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist sorry I meant like arranging a mission setup
This is a great idea! For someone considering doing this too, about how much steel rod and magnets did you use for everything?
How did you do the overhead pipes?
It looks amazing. I can't wait to buy this for my "Son" for Xmas 😅
Nice idea with the magnets and steel rod ...
Thankyou Susan =)
What did you do with the other scenery pieces that slot in? Like the hanging or broken pipes, the cover generating panels and so on?
Genius with rods
Cheers Sam =)

the higher the grit the finer the sanding, I should do that with mine, using a knife is super time consuming.
Yup much easier with sandpaper =)

Cheers, yeah maybe but as they all lay flat on the board they are pretty much 90°, well maybe 89° =P
@@MiniatureHobbyist I'm not talking straight as in a 90 degree between the walls but having them sit flush on the board without adjustment such as @16:50 since you're not connecting them at singular points but along a rod they can shift along.
Would small galv washers or discs work, if you glued then on the inside of the columns and used higher strength magnets?
Very nicely done!
May I ask, where did you buy the steel wire? (I’m in the UK)
Did you also cut the tabs off and magnetise the small pieces that were attached to the scatter terrain sprue?
When you did that, did you habe any problems with the metal wire and rust? Did you do something to avoid it? Thanks!
thanks thanks thanks :)
Wil be making a similar video .. In Dutch ... giving all credits to ofc... great idea !!
Hi Arnold. I'm not really into Warhammer but I enjoyed the videos on the paints! Subbed.

Yup it wouldnt take much to leave a few holes, until then we have to be extremely careful in putting our own holes in lol =)
I was thinking about doing this but then wondered if they wouldn't connect from certain setups , cause magnets how do they work?!
Thats why I use metal strips in the female socket so these will work with all set ups =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist awesome, I've thought of putting rods like that in my minis bodies for magnets glad to know it works, definitely gonna try it

Nice video, the walls look great. Too bad about the stream, must've been the Xbox that jinxed it.😉
Cheers, yeah no idea what went wrong as I didnt do anything different lol, I will be trying again tomorrow when I paint the Kroot, fingers crossed =)
how many magnets did you use? and what thickness is the steel rod? brilliant video im definitely doing this to mine your idea is fantastic.
I think I used 49 and the steel rod is about 2 or 3mm thick =)
