    Just please remember to check the magnets polarity and keep it the same so you can interchange between other like models. If not you stuff will be repelled by the magnets. Just thought that it should be mentioned.

    see i purposely make it so they repulse, when putting them on the bases and magnetising feet. because i want the bases to only fit that model for aesthetic reasons, so that wa i cant mix up the figure with the wrong base :) so that one is one way the other is the other way, means less miz up

    I used 1mm x 2mm ones to magnitise all of my Tau Battlesuit weapon options. they work great for everything except for the metal missile pods that come with the Broadsides and the larger metal guns that come with the commander. All of the plastic options and the smaller metal commander options worked great even with such small magnets.

    Ill mention a few more uses for magnets: 1.Beginning a new army?Use magnets to make it more easy to adapt to it(example:scatter laset and misile launcher.if youre new,you probably dont know which ones better,so...megnetize). 2.Transportation. 3.Good for terrain and converting(example:wanna make an ammo depot,but dont have enough supplies for both a weapon and purely ammo depot,then magnetize,or wanna convert a whilwind into a rhino,but still wanna have the whirlwind,then magnetize).

    I've used various magnet sizes, but by far the 1/16x1/32 have been the most versatile. They may not be powerful, but they're really useful for things like Knight Masks, small weapons and armor pieces. Currently using them for the crew and weapons aboard the Genestealer Cult Ridgerunner and Goliath.

    Another bonus to magnetized body parts is you can move limbs to be more expressive. But the #1 benefit once the battle begins is sometimes miniatures are invasive, their weapon (like a spear) is sticking into the enemy and you can't have them in base to base contact. This is more true for non-40k but fantasy battle with base to base contact. Plus Shields are another thing people could use more. If you want your general to have a choice of shields, banners, quite a few other things!!!

    @folkrace4life theoretically, but some parts you're better off gluing if they're things you would never change. It's most useful for options since it allows you to be cheap by simply changing loadout rather then having to buy a whole new model (wish I'd know about this before building my first army), you can also magnetize bases to make it easier to store certain things (skimmers/jet bikes especially, since their bases are so high.

    Maybe this was covered in the video but is it necessary to buy magnets that are thicker? Surface area is most important for magnetic strength but obviously a bigger magnet over all will be stronger but could you just stack magnets instead of buying them in different thicknesses? Will that give you the same effect?

    @KrahulikIsGod magnets are atraced to each other based on if they have a possitive charge or a negative charge facing the oposing magnets charge of either of those proporties. Oposed charges are atracteed to each other in this manner in order to establish a neutral charge, the natural state that all mater in the universe tries to achive. If they have the same charge, they will repel each other as they will not interact as that would result in a farther movement away from a neutral charge.

    depends on the orientation of the magnet when you place it in or if you want to place other magnets along the outside because it might screw with the polarity and instead of things snapping on, they might jettison off. drilling the surface would be the better bet. if you drill into a cavity, just stick a little bit of green stuff in there to set the magnet where you want it... 3 months later... lol

I have so many small models, i have no reason to waste my time. But for expensive models? Hell yes.
