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.

[@Fuzzycat16]

[@BenjWarrant]

That's good thinking, Batman.

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

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

I have to admire the sheer dedication of doing all that just so you get parking lot'd even harder

[@TheBetterGoon]

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.

[@josephsnyder4581]

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!!

[@totalCoolerUsername]

Looking forward to see Jay use the same Milwaukee tools I use as a woodworker on tiny plastic models 😂😊❤

[@N00b_Bot]

Your model building skills are really top tier.

[@torp_22]

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

[@hugobaisez9775]

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

[@reddragon4482]

I'm very impressed with your engineering skills in getting all these kits the way you want lol. Good job bro.

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

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

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!!!

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.

[@maxbrandt6]

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.

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.

[@knightsljx]

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

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.

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

[@carldooley9344]

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.

[@PaintsOnA4Up]

Wore my kilt on Sunday. Really liked seeing you make one

Hats off for all that magnet work. I'm giving myself a stroke just attaching one magnet to a heavy bolter. Lol!

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.

i did that few years ago, sure, it's complex but given how much options you have - gw did a great work with the design.

[@fallout3600]

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.

[@ThKrY]

Laughed out loudly when you went for the kilt. Looked awesome.

[@Nkzjr]

Jeeesus - this is insane!! Great work!!

[@foreverfornever1124]

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

[@jakobi-wan6500]

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

[@malicant123]

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!

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.
