@@codykrueger796that was the Armorcast that had a Baneblade /Shadowsword combo that had 2 inserts to make it the one or the other(one of those resides on my shelf unbuilt).
Jay! Do you think you could make a tutorial video on magnetizing a Baneblade!? This was great, and I want to go this too, but will need a bit more specific instructions.
@@darkowl9 even on a small field just find a spot in your spawn zone to plop it down and then just leave it there raining death on the enemy, and if your enemy doesn't position to engage it then that works for huge area denial, and if they kill your other units eventually they'll HAVE to attack it
As someone who still has my baneblade kit in box in my pile of shame, I was thoroughly surprised at how large it was. I don't think I realized just how big a baneblade was until then
Me neither until I saw one in person. Always get the glamor shots but nothing to give it a sense of scale. The thing is like putting a shoe box down on the table. It's huge.
I will probably never paint or build a model together but i still watch every of your videos. They are somehow therapeutic and i just like to listen to Jays voice. Keep on the good work!
I've spent about ~$550 on the plastic crack but save yourself the money get 3D printed resin models instead it's cheaper and easier to get into the wargaming hobby but there will be snobs that refuse to play with you because you didn't spend the ridiculous amounts of money to build a "legit" army
Why not go into a GW store near you and say hi and say you are new? The staff will let you play w bit and even let you paint a mini. They will also try to sell you a lot of stuff. But at least you can paint a mini. :)
What I did for my Predators was put magnets on the body, but just small steel washers on the weapon options. Then you don't need to worry about polarity.
I do a similar thing to magnetize heads on my infantry (but with steel nails instead of washers) bc ive been screwed by incorrect polarity so many times
A trick I use is to get a sheet of 24 gauge sheet metal (make sure it's magnetic) then get a sheet metal punch kit for my typical magnet sizes. Punch out a bunch of discs corresponding to magnet sizes and use those instead of a second magnet. As long as your contact point between the magnets and the punched out sheet is mostly flush the pull force should match that of magnet on magnet. Now you don't have to worry about polarity nor do you have to drill as deep! Typically I put the metal on the switching component (the cannons in this case) and the magnet on the body of the model.
I've been an IG player for over a decade but never felt confident enough to tackle this kit. I finally put one on my Christmas list this year, and was already planning on setting it up for 2-3 magnetization options. This video has totally inspired me to do the complete magnetization of the kit... Thank you!!
10:20 I see you missed a single weapon... By glueing the turret bustle on the back of the turret, you have removed the ability to mount the single fixed rear mounted Lasgun...
Considering Gundam fans now have the MGEX line, Strike Freedom, Unicorn, and RX-78-2 Gundam. The two color plastic sprue injection is fucking neat. @@Fuzzycat16
The dumbest part is that we are already getting all the parts, and they just want us to throw them away, because most people aren't going to buy 9 Baneblades.
That is a very impressive model, I can remember a time long, long ago when the only way to have a "40k scale" Baneblade tank was to scratch build one using the templates provided by GW in the pages of White Dwarf, those were heady days indeed! Then a year or so after those articles the first ever all resin (smelly resin) kit was produced by Forge World in their early years and then the rest is history, long time 40k players know...the rest of the story with this particular subject.
Shawn, is the Baneblade painted yet? That tank is awesome with all the options!! To bad your reaver is just gonna step on that tank. Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!
2:10 meanwhile at Bandai, in the 2000s: our sprue is not only going to be multi-colour (which we already figured out in the 80s), it's going to inject in such a way that the piece will come off as a MOVING part
I built this and magnetised it completely to allow for all variations, including the sponsons being in any position. Sold it on eBay. I found that on the flat side pieces you put magnets on the inside and use flat steel strip on the sponsons and side panels
Really nice work ! Hope to see this one painted soon ! I made and paint this beauty fully magnetised too last year, take me about 150-170 hours, but that was worth it ! As a non-player, i am really proud of this amazing clipboard i can change the skin whenever i want
I love watching the Jay and Sean arms race. Jay gets a knight cerastus so Sean gets a baneblade. Judging by Jay's reiver titan I can see a warlord titan in Sean's near future.
I'm finding this quite interesting to watch after magnetizing my own Baneblade, my one use slightly less magnets but Im getting some ideas for improvements for mine
One of my favorite kits of all time from GW. I've built a few over the years, back in the day you used to be able to order the side sponson sprues separately so you could have multiple guns along the sides.
This is one of those rare cases for GW fitting 8 different tanks into one, versus selling them seperately in some capactiy , and its really nice. They easily could have been greedy with this model considering how popular it is. Its also why I hate they try and sell the impulsor variants as seperate kits when it all could be sold as a predator tank and come with everything else to be magnetized. I learned that cheat code early in the kits life and saved myself a couple hundred dollars
I wish I had watched this video before building mine that I'd had in a cupboard for nearly a year and only put together last month. There are so many parts left over its unreal. Good job man.
Pickup up 3 of those bad boys when they first came out. 2 were going to be baneblades of some sort and 1 was going to be Ork'ed. Got 1 mostly built up but got lost deciding what variant I wanted. These and my Stompa sit at the back of my brain itching me back to building 40K again after good 10+ years off.
There are a few guides out there to magnetized it. I decided against it and just glued a Stormlord. I did magnetize the 2 extra sponsons. I had the old box and had to pay another 60 dollars to get the extra 2 sponsons and weapons which I was lucky to even find. Only other version I would use is the Shadowsword but I'll just get another kit and build it.
Just built an octoblade " magnetized baneblade just a few weeks ago they are kinda funky and you actually have to use sprues to build shelfs if you do it the traditional way
My uncle recently gifted me a bb in the old packaging as he was clearing out some of his back log, I’m painting it up and gifting it back as a surprise to match his guardsmen, this video is insanely helpful ahhh it doesn’t feel like such an intimidating project now
When this thing was released in 2007/8, virtually every purchase that I made in GW came with the line "do you want a baneblade with that!?". The release of Apocalypse was a mad time because all the rules went out the windows, and the only thing that mattered was how many models were on the table. Space Marine player? How about some chaos terminators as allies? Necron player? A few genestealers would really help out your CC. Eldar player? What you need is a few orks.....also BANEBLADE!
I also have a magnetized Baneblade and boy is it fun to see it one shot a knight as a shadow sword, but man dose this bring back memories of when I was putting mine together.
Amazing job, truly 😊 I bought a B.B. when they first landed but they were separate from the Shadowsword so I need to get one of these combined kits (or two 😊)
No model made me as excited to build than the baneblade. Managed to magnetize 2 versions where I can use either stormlord or banehammer. Absolutely wonderful model.
For those curious on “Why the hell is this thing so big” it’s an old Apocalypse model, where you have a minimum of 2 feet deployment zone, it was made Apocalypse first, and went to regular 40K second
I run 2 in most of my lists, usually a Stormlord and either Banesword or Shadowsword. I am happy happy that 2 sets of sponsons come in the base set now. Also, if you have someone in your group that plays Chaos Knights, the Volkite Combustor in the Abominant kit is the perfect size to use as a Plasma Blastgun if you want to try running it as a Stormblade.
I have built the Baneblade twice and I love the kit. I didn’t know its from all the wat back in 2007. It holds up well. I do plan on getting a third one and have it have all the turrets. I built my first two before 10th so I was building them accoundinf to the rules
I remember building that absolutemonolith of a model. I only realised that you could have 2 sets of sponsons on after I’d already fully build the model, so now I only have one set on. I may fix that one day, but it’s still funny that it’s such a monster you can bring 8 side guns in addition to the rest of it. Good thing is though, if you only put one set on the baneblade / hellhammer, all you need is another set of tracks to build an entirely seperate second model, as long as you don’t mind having a slightly shorter one
GW trick worked on me. I plunged straight ahead assembling my Baneblade and before I knew it I was locked out of half the configs. I guess I could get it apart with a chisel and redo it but ehhhhhh. That was where I learned to flip through to the end of the instructions before starting.
A model like that is better used in a more narrative game. Marooned in the middle of table, it's thrown a track, how many waves of tyranids/orks/ necrons does it take to bring it down? (I assume the rules allow for individual turrets etc to be knocked out, each time one is then a crewman is placed outside to fight on with his sidearm.)
Surprised that it's a Shadowsword as well as a Baneblade. They're different tanks with different bases. But as the Shadowsword is by far my favourite Warhammer vehicle, I'm really glad to see it. I don't even play the game. I just want to buy a Shadowsword and get it professionally done as a showpiece, because I just love it so much.
Eon: "This is an intimating amount of plastic" Me looking over at my Master Grade Zeta Gundam IIIB: "Really? It's like half the plastic of a Gundam kit." I jest, I know there's a big different between Games Workshop kits and Bandai kits, and the Zeta IIIB is an outlier. The Baneblade is about how much plastic you'd get for a larger Master Grade kit like the Providence, let alone a huge kit like the Dendrobium, Neo-Zeon, or a Perfect Grade. The magnetization you did is insane, and I wish this kind of modularity was built into GW kits. It's almost like turning the Baneblade into a kind of transformer.
I built this kit couple years back. I used a total of 10 magnets and left the model able to be switched from Shadowsword to Baneblade by changing the top.
Speaking of tanks and variability, I would really like it if you could build/review the Space Marine Gladiator kit on the channel, which is for my money one of the best kits GW produces. You can trivially build it in all three variants (Lancer, Reaper Valiant) without needing any magnets whatsover. The main gun can just be switched between if you don't glue the bottom to the main turret, and the side guns can also be switched beween by not gluing them. The only thing that needs magnetization is if you want to choose between the bolters and the grenade launchers for the Lancer, but I just chose to permanently use the bolters. However, the kit is actually also just basically an upgraded Impulsor kit and contains all the bits for it as well, just with a hull for the main guns of the Gladiators to sit on top of attached to the back. I haven't done it myself but I wonder if you could build it in such a way to have four models from a single kit. The Impulsor itself has four weapon variants on its own though and alongside the different bits for the Gladiator types means a lot of small plastic to keep track of. If you just forget about the Impulsor and glue the back on, you have a big compartment to store them in.
I have 2 Baneblades myself and just went with both standard baneblades , my 3rd one is going to be the shadowsword with the titan killing cannon , i read that the cannon itself can still be used on normal enemies and still kill them (probably over kill) lol. Still...love the baneblade for sure!
I did this with my baneblade!! even better I kitbashed an old model kit to make a 9th variant! its a ton of fun! not sure id do it again... buuuuuuuut it was super satisfying once everything was all set up
The question I've got for everyone that magnetised this kit is, what variant are you using the most? Also that unfortunately is a skirt, not a kilt. Length and pleats are defining features of the kilt. Great job painting it though, tartan has got to be one of the hardest things to attempt.
Thank god for 3d printing. The idea of magnetizing this is almost enough of a pain for me to consider purchasing more baneblade kits if i didnt have 3d printing.
Bought this beast today; with shipping the Magnet Baron set is a little pricey so mine might rattle a little more. If I can sort out the sprue - shelves inside I think I can make a decent go of it though.

The only thing that needs magnetization is if you want to choose between the bolters and the grenade launchers for the Lancer, but I just chose to permanently use the bolters.
However, the kit is actually also just basically an upgraded Impulsor kit and contains all the bits for it as well, just with a hull for the main guns of the Gladiators to sit on top of attached to the back. I haven't done it myself but I wonder if you could build it in such a way to have four models from a single kit. The Impulsor itself has four weapon variants on its own though and alongside the different bits for the Gladiator types means a lot of small plastic to keep track of. If you just forget about the Impulsor and glue the back on, you have a big compartment to store them in.
Was literally JUST about to start trying to build mine. Thanks!
Laughed out loudly when you went for the kilt. Looked awesome.
at 2:30 that sprue is still a two-sided mold the moving that slide into place for the barrel as the mold closes and will move out as the mold opens
There are actualy 9 variants to the octablade. + Anihilator plasma incinerator.
Also, an EXTRA weapon sprue alowes you 2 extra sponson weapons.
I have 2 Baneblades myself and just went with both standard baneblades , my 3rd one is going to be the shadowsword with the titan killing cannon , i read that the cannon itself can still be used on normal enemies and still kill them (probably over kill) lol.
Still...love the baneblade for sure!
This you did with some really good craftingskills. Impressed!!
I did this with my baneblade!! even better I kitbashed an old model kit to make a 9th variant! its a ton of fun! not sure id do it again... buuuuuuuut it was super satisfying once everything was all set up
my friend got one recently and has been yelling about this ever since
The Banehammer configuration reminds me of the German Brummbär, the heavy assault-gun from World War II.
Soo you are the reason Our magnetic poles shift 😂
The question I've got for everyone that magnetised this kit is, what variant are you using the most?
Also that unfortunately is a skirt, not a kilt. Length and pleats are defining features of the kilt. Great job painting it though, tartan has got to be one of the hardest things to attempt.
Magnetization was actually really easy, I used metal plates instead in a lot of places instead of a matching magnet
My octoblade just sits by gravity. Made sprue shelves in the hull to hold the hull pieces. Only magnetized the gun options besides sponson guns
i dont have a guard army, but I want a fully magnetized baneblade
I hope one day I can paint and have miniatures like you
Thank god for 3d printing. The idea of magnetizing this is almost enough of a pain for me to consider purchasing more baneblade kits if i didnt have 3d printing.
Wore my kilt on Sunday. Really liked seeing you make one
Ever thought about doing some black templar guardsman? I know it isn't a real thing but I still think it would be fun from an artistic point of view
Bought this beast today; with shipping the Magnet Baron set is a little pricey so mine might rattle a little more. If I can sort out the sprue - shelves inside I think I can make a decent go of it though.
