Magnetized Forgefiend Maulerfiend Tiny Plastic Spacemen The shoulder pads are also magnetized in place, because they have to be able to swap between the huge power fist front arms or the gun mounts shown above. a pair of tiny 3mm magnets holds each shoulder piece in place. an example of the versatility available with a fully magnetized model! this project took 33 6mm x 3mm, 6 3mm x 2mm and 2 10mm x. I’ve got another forgefiend model from a reddit gift exchange, the new one will be done as a nurgle conversion so should be pretty fun to muck about with! originally posted on the hammertime 40k site.
Magnetized Forgefiend Maulerfiend Tiny Plastic Spacemen This gives the maulerfiend 3 points of contact and the forgefiend 4. update: in the latest one i magnetized, i used the 1 4″ x 1 8″ magnets for under the base. it helps a lot during games to keep it steady. wrap up. there you have a fully magnetized maulerfiend that can be a forgefiend. I use 2mm neodymium magnets which are strong enough to hold most of the parts. so first, use a 2mm drill bit to make an indent, put a tiny bit of superglue in the gap and push a magnet in. while it’s setting, roll some green stuff and make a blob on the opposite part, press it in to the gap so the magnet makes an impression in the green stuff. The subtle gradient of the dark blue with the classic night lord's lightning creates a vivid image of the night sky. the desaturated and beaten brass helps sell that eerie battle hardened contraption of nightmares. the purple tint to the flesh creates a warm, yet "other" skin tone. Find yourself some decent rare earth magnets and a pin vise and go to town. for normal 28mm figures, tiny 1x2mm rare earth pill magnets are ideal. for a bigger piece like op's i'd probably go to 2x3mm pill magnets. rare earths are very strong so they don't have to be huge. the only thing you have to be careful of is getting the polarity right.

Slice a thin part off the end of the neck stump, slightly larger than the diameter of the small, thinner magnets (so about 8mm diameter but precision not necessary). superglue a small magnet to the stump and once it dries, take another magnet and pop it on the first. then, take a small blob of greenstuff and place it in the head cavity. And magnetized to fit the cannons: some heat staining using minitaire ghost tints: and on the exhausts as well. presently lacquered up and drying while i watch the f1… the monotone bits will be done in cream bone with different patterns for each one, then the edges and some of the mechanical bits will be done in brass.
