Yet another great video, whether a player plays Necrons or not! Most factions in 40K have similar fiddly bits and the process covered here covers the basics for magnetizing models in any faction. Another bonus to magnetizing the guns on models is that they are less likely to get broken during play or transport.
Such a good tutorial. You asume nothing and explain everything. I have wanted to magnetise many of my models and this as finally given me the confidence to go ahead. I am actually looking at an alternative Necron list with two squads of 9 Tomb blades. Wish me luck with the magnetisation!
Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it, good luck magnetising them and I've got quite a few tutorials for different Necron units as well. I've been using Tomb Blades recently and they are awesome
Ok, this is gold. I’ll be using this video as a refresher every time I want to magnetise. Which will now be everything with options. Thank you soooo much, yet again. Out of interest, where do you get your magnets? Fantastic video yet again!!
Great guide and video I'm about to buy 18 more toomblades cause you can never have enough toomblades 😂 so this guide will help out alot when I'm trying to magnetize them 😁
For drilling the spheres, a good tip is to gently file a small flat plane on it. You can do this on both at the same time if you lay the file down and rub the piece across it. this also has the benefit of making both filed parts parallel
The best magnet glue in the world is Bob Smith Industries Insta Cure+, it's a super glue which is very liquid and sets fast so you don't get that tiny magnet jumping out of the mini towards your metal watch like luke skywalkers' lightsaber flying towards his hand through the power of will alone. You can get BSI insta cure + via Hobby Kingm, amazon in Europe. I think they have a UK website also. Instead of using green stuff to fix magnets onto the mini I use the cheap version of miliput (grey) mixed 50/50 with plastacine to create a holder for the magnet when there isn't enough plastic on the mini to do so.
Wow, fantastic job wish i can do smth like this to my necrons (as well as your conversion) but will leave it for later. Still need to get some experience prior to such activities)
On the base magnitization, rather than adding a larger magnet to make a better hold, reaming the hole out to about 3.5mm and shouldering down to 2mm at the bottom would make for a much more secure connection. The sheer forces that can easily separate magnets would be taken up by the plastic of the model, leaving the magnets to just take care of sticking together.
As much as I love this ..... I just don't have fortitude to do this on every single model (which I plan to buy 6) painting is already a big challange for me But very informative video
Nice Video! I found myseld "cheating" when magnetizing "ballparts", i.e.: I dont drill holes in the spheres. I cut the speres off alltogether and replace them with reasonably sized steel balls out of ball bearings.That way I dont need to care about magnet orientation, as I only need one. Comes in quite handy when magnetizing Immortals :D
Awesome vid. I am doing this for my Tyranids. I noticed also that when I use green stuff and place the magnets in the green stuff then just leave it overnight It holds itself very well without using superglue. Isn't superglue not needed then? It feels very secure.
Great video will definitely try this! Do you really need the green stuff to help the magnet stick? Surely super glue is enough. Just trying to minimise cost
Excellent tutorial as always. Going to have to finish watching it once I get home and have the parts in my hands. Anyone know a good US based magnet company for figures?
Hello, Fantastic video. Questions I have: So wor the weapon you have used 2 1x1 and 4 2x1. And for the holder 2 2x1, correct? Also, why do you need magnetize back ? I mean their tools unique, no ? Thank you
Yes that is correct. The back section hold the different wargear options, it just makes it easy to see what model has what wargear if you play a unit with mixed wargear. You probably wouldn't do that in 10th as wargear is free, but before 10th you had to pay points for the different wargear options
I've found when I magnetise my blades, the weapons spin quite easily on their magnet, especially the ones that aren't as level. Any recommendations as to how to stop that happening?
Thanks man. I will do this when I build new tomb blades. I have 3, I fixed built already, but I am thinking of getting the apocalypse box that has 6 of them in it.
@@IDICBeer Very useful, I learned some new magnetizing tips.. But now I remember why I never tried to magnetize my 3 tomb blades. I have Leds in them. I would have to get some electronic clips and magnets to do it, might be tough. Anyway, I talked to you about minwargaming before, I play Dave next week, but I probably will make a vid on my channel before that show casing them, so you can see them.
Hello IDIC Beer. Well i just got into Warhammer and bought myself the Start Collecting Necrons box set with the Annihilation Barge. Apparently the box came with Deathmark parts and Immortal Parts. Im wondering if theres a use for Deathmarks vs Immortals. I can use some help as im new to detachment/army building in Warhammer 40k and im starting my first army with Necrons.
Hi dude, atm Immortals with Tesla guns are the best option, but I have a video about the start collecting kit that you might like ua-cam.com/video/C0jo1Qxayvw/v-deo.html
Thanks for the guide :) I find it kinda hard for me to prepare the initial point to drill the weapons mounting's spherical surface and find it easier by slice it off and turn it into a flat surface lol (even though it might be hard to align it properly).
Ok I have a question that you’ve likely answered before. I recently rediscovered your channel and went to go look up old channels I watch like Fritz and his channel is gone? Do you know anything about that? Thanks.
Hi fella, nice to hear from you, Yes, Fritz had his channel removed from UA-cam for 'copyright' reason with no chance to appeal! He now has a new channel here ua-cam.com/channels/oYezSOIYkjTk0A01slqpww.html

You can clean superglue off skin pretty easily with nail polish remover/acetone, it's not going to cause chemical burns. The fumes are more dangerous than contact with your fingertips
I always try and say wait until you have built and painted them, I must admit I am starting to like these a bit more now I have worked on them, well only because the stupid orb has been removed lol

Thanks very much mate, glad it was useful, I get the magnets from a company called Guys Magnets, they have a website and eBay store
@@IDICBeer Thanks again, oh guru. Off to get some this afternoon from their site. You are a god! :)

@@IDICBeer what glue did you use in this video?
@@santiagovejar2200 For the magnets, super glue (gorilla gel)
Well. Well .well good sir you got yourself a new subscriber
Thank you my friend, much appreciated 😁

Thanks bob, yeah would be a tough one as a first time project, but with a little practice you will get there

The sheer forces that can easily separate magnets would be taken up by the plastic of the model, leaving the magnets to just take care of sticking together.
Thanks buddy, I have never had ad issue with just super gluing a bigger magnet myself
As much as I love this ..... I just don't have fortitude to do this on every single model (which I plan to buy 6) painting is already a big challange for me
But very informative video
Thanks buddy, yeah it's a bit of commitment, especially when painting as you have to paint all the gun options, glad I did it though.
Excellent work Nick, I love easy to follow instructions which make models so much more adaptable. NECRONS! :>)
Thanks very much mate
Great tutorial as always, Nick! That's some really delicate work, but it came out looking excellent!

Thanks a lot Methos, well worth the effort

Great video, well explained, you can tell that you have put a lot of effort into this video. I have used your method to do my tomb blades.
Thanks buddy, glad it was useful :D
Cool video Nick!....Bill
Thanks a lot Bill :D
I just ordered the box. I'm excited to get my hands on them
They are a cool unit
ty for making this guide
You are welcome buddy 😁
If you are in the USA and looking for magnets, I suggest K&J Magnetics.
Thanks for the suggestion
Hey Nick neat video!
Cheers mate :D
cheers mate, really helpful. i have 9 to do!
Glad it helped fella :D
Awesome vid. I am doing this for my Tyranids. I noticed also that when I use green stuff and place the magnets in the green stuff then just leave it overnight It holds itself very well without using superglue. Isn't superglue not needed then? It feels very secure.
Thanks buddy, yes sometimes green stuff alone will hold, but I have experienced the magnet coming out as well so I always use glue to make sure
Great video will definitely try this! Do you really need the green stuff to help the magnet stick? Surely super glue is enough. Just trying to minimise cost
Thanks buddy, no you do not need the green stuff, but I do find it makes placing the magnets so much easier
@@IDICBeer thank you sir

Thanks mate, I would check out eBay, there are usually a load of magnets on there

@IDICBeer thank you for your super fast reply! You have inspired me to make magnetization of my units!
Quick question - what would be your recommendations for doom/night scythe magnetization? Have not seen it in your video
@@Bobr-green Here's my video ua-cam.com/video/k1EEYk4aGsw/v-deo.html
@@IDICBeer thank you!
I've found when I magnetise my blades, the weapons spin quite easily on their magnet, especially the ones that aren't as level. Any recommendations as to how to stop that happening?
You could use a little pin next to the magnet.
Rough up their surface. (Filing or base coating)
That should make them more stable, less slippery.
@@IDICBeer oh that's an excellent idea! Thanks!
