How to magnetiize a Tau Riptide

After a long hiatus from magnetizing, I finally sit down and build my son's riptide. It now has all weapon options. I did not magnetize the little trackers and such, but you could easily add those with 1/32 magnets if you wanted.

I can't thank you enough for helping me get into magnetizing my armies..your videos are fantastic..thank you so much

[@WarhammerDad]

Happy to help!

[@Niftynesgames]

Thank you for the video, just getting back into Tau and converted a ton of my old suits to be magnetized. Getting a Riptide today and will use this guide :)

I thought I would need bigger magnets for my riptide, but luckily I have a bunch of 1/8 1/16 magnets lying around, great tutorial btw!

[@WarhammerDad]

thanks

[@HumanistGordian]

Thanks for the vid. bought my Riptide yesterday and thought about magnetizing the big guns after I saw the options it had. Your video came up second, the first one was okay, but they didn't work it as clean as you did. .

[@WarhammerDad]

Thanks, happy to help.

Thank you so much for these videos started a few months ago and i have prettt much magnetized all my suits except the stealyh suits

[@ultimateantimate9646]

How big are the magnets (in millimeter)

[@RX7FDfreak]

Thanks for this video.

[@Bruce_Brown]

Thanks for this. what size were the magnets used?

[@m-tron5966]

Awesome...Thank You 😃

[@WargamerShawn]

nice video man

[@paulregnier12]

Great tuto continu please !

[@SilentDragon22386]

Any chance you remember the size magnets you used?

[@WarhammerDad]

I used 19 1/8 X 1/16 magnets

[@Vliegmans]

Would you say a 2x1 mm magnet is enough for all of the parts? I got a sweet deal for 100 magnets of this size and I wanna magnetize all my T'au suits.

[@WarhammerDad]

I would think that they would be a bit small for some of the bigger parts.

[@danielsandoval7193]

Thank you so much for making this video! I am going to try this, do you remember what size drill bit you used?

[@WarhammerDad]

generally the same size as the magnet. I have a set of bits and just kind of eyeball the bit vs the magnet. I know that doesn't help much...

[@WarhammerDad]

Sorry I missed this comment. I have a few drill vise drill bits and a few small bit. I generally just size them up against the magnet I plan to use. I always start with a small pilot hole so the larger size bits don't wander.

[@xxmaddkinggxx4575]

This is awesome thank you, any chance you can link the site you bought the magnets at

[@WarhammerDad]

I get most of my magnets on ebay or sometimes amazon.com

[@SP3NCE]

didnt drill the magnets in flush enough so now my pipe part wont fit, arghhhhhhhhh.

[@ta24u]

This is my all time favorite tau model. For the support system I usually just pin them on. Check out my channel if you'd like. Awesome magnetizing buddy!

[@WarhammerDad]

+ta24u thanks, I like that one, and the bomber is actually a pretty cool model as well. My son is just starting them up. We picked up a bunch a couple of years ago, but never got them all put together. I only played one or two games with the old codex.

[@andrewhynes8828]

For each place that you drilled did you just put in one magnet or multiple?

[@WarhammerDad]

I just used one on each side.
