10:51 I like your video and I’ll be magnetizing one of these for my Krieg when I get time. One thing I did, after years of magnetizing, is make what I call a magnet jig. I took a big 3D printed base that was the wrong size and glued a series of magnets down with labels. When I’m gluing a magnet to a hull or weapon mount, I peel from one stack. When gluing a magnet to a weapon, I peel from that stack. Since making that I haven’t screwed up one polarity. I’ve also become a fan of gluing a big magnet to the inside of the hull for things like a hull mounted gun than drill it out, just saves time when you buy as many models as I do 😆
Wouldn't it have been a lot easier to do the mantlet for the main gun whilst assembling the kit ? That way you could have put the magnets behind the gun rather than at the side so it wouldn't droop
i just want to say. GW is moving fast to put everything from horus heresy to legends. If you buying kits for 40k, dont expect them to be around for longer than this edition max

Really cool vid. I was planning on using 3 mil for the main guns but now I see it might not be strong enough.
