HOW TO MAGNETISE THE CHAOS HELBRUTE

[@solidsentinel1285]

This video has become even more helpful with all the gear being free now and really no bad choices

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Nice! Yeah free weapons makes for a real reason to magnetise when you can. Glad it’s useful!

[@lukaszsw]

I've found it very easy to magnetize the hammer and scourge. Inside hammer arm I've put two sprue frame pieces on top of each other. On top I've put a 4x2 mm magnet matching polarity with the one in arm joint. The one in the arm joint is drilled out, same as in the video. And it fits perfectly (shoulder pauldron attached). No need to put it at an angle. Same with the fist hollow space - I've put a sprue frame piece in there, a fragment with round peg for extra height. It turned out i've had to drill this piece a bit, so a 3x1 mm magnet is recessed 0,5 mm. Glued the magnet, put another one on top, put a drop of super glue on the second one and placed the panel piece or combi bolter piece on top. Fits perfectly and there is no need for green stuff. You are missing the option to remove heavy flamer. It is possible to magnetize those bits with 2x1 mm magnets and pieces of paper clips put into drilled holes ~0,5 mm. And one last thing - not necessary but I think it adds to the look to attach the cables. You glue some and add fuel cell to other weapons. I've opted to magnetize most. Only the back one on the weapon arm and outer one on the multi melta are glued on (on one side). The rest is magnetized with 2x1 magnet in the socket and piece of paperclip in the cable. In the left arm there are two cables with sockets, those can be done with 2x1 magnets only. The instruction says those cables fit only with a certain torso piece but I've used the other one and the cable look ok.

Some great feedback there, especially on the hammer/scourge option there, thanks for helping out!

[@austinheins2846]

Well done mate. Looking into starting Thousand Sons and the Helbrute was always a bit intimidating. This video definitely puts a few of those fears to bed.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Awesome to hear! Good luck with the build👍

[@tkplays8482]

I am going to magnetize my own helbrute soon but i have 2 questions. Is there an alternative to the green stuff as it seems to be quite expensive and delivery on amazon is quite long. Also, when you put the magnets inside the torso did you just glue it onto the inside on the piece that mounts the arm and use some green stuff?@@OldAverageBritGaming

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

⁠@@tkplays8482pretty much any hard setting modelling clay will do here. It’s just to pack out the cavity and stop any magnets coming loose inside once it’s all glued shut. There are plenty of alternatives to green stuff out there I think :) but yeah glue magnet, pack with whatever you buy and that’s it! Good luck!

[@tkplays8482]

@@OldAverageBritGamingthanks you deserve alot more subs 👍

[@tkplays8482]

sorry to bother you, was it the tape or putty you used? i have the putty version of the green stuff and im not sure if that works@@OldAverageBritGaming

[@totallyalpharius507]

I magnetized my first Helbrute about a year ago when I only had little experience assembling minis, so it was a bit of a challenge, but a fun one nonetheless. All the drilling and gluing and making sure I got the polarity right taught me a lot when I just barely got into the hobby. As for the left arm, I assembled the power scourge, but I did want to have ALL the weapons available just because. So I bought some Green Stuff and Blue Stuff and made a copy of the missing parts, which look almost indistinguishable from the real thing once painted. However as the Green Stuff is heavier than plastic, I probably should have used a stronger magnet for that part.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Nice going making your own cast of that shared piece! Some good lessons you taught yourself it seems 👍

[@lereboussier8185]

I went the same way and copied parts common to different weapons, using Blue Stuff and Milliput. That way I can have all weapons

[@Volt_Jolt]

Thanks for the Tutorial it works brilliantly! I also managed to magnetize the scourge and hammer option too!

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Great to hear! Well done on taking it to the top level for all options :)

[@CMWargames]

Great tutorial again. These are always informative and precise

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Cheers Richard! I like to be precise and not waffle on too much!

[@CMWargames]

@@OldAverageBritGaming yeah it helps when doing these build type ones.-

[@KameradArktis]

this was great help for magnetizing my hellbrute i typically packed my magnets inside with a sprues and sprue goo incaseing the magnet in a tomb of plastic

[@xshadowx32hd66]

RIP thunder hammer You were the best melee option

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

😢😢

[@warlordwurzoggwigsplittaht2933]

I was able to magnetize my hellbrute with kinda bigger magnets. All the same size, bits of sprue and some luck. I've magnetized a predator, a wolf gaurd terminator,deff dreds and a redemptor dread and the hellbrute has been the toughest one so far but man it's cool to have all the options.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Nice one! Sometimes it does come down to a bit of luck but it’s always in the planning to make these things work. It really is cool to have all the options so no matter what a codex does or a points change does, we can run what we like!

@Colin Braden thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Colin Braden it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

Learnt a lot from this video. Luvin your work

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Thanks Steve! Appreciate the kind words :)

[@horuslupercal2385]

Awwww man, this video has come 3 months too late for me....... I went and eBayed multiple shoulder/connector pieces to give loadout flexibility (those individual spare pieces are pricey). Yet another fantastic video though..... This is a must-watch for anybody with a Helbrute 👌👌👌

[@horuslupercal2385]

1 sneaky request for a future video: do you think it would be possible to do a magnetising video for the Forge/Maulerfiend, please? I'm wondering if it would be an option to alternate between both builds using all of the parts in the standard kit. 🤔

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Dammit my timing sucks!!! But cheers for watching and commenting despite you already having a paid for solution :)

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Absolutely, I have 3 Fiend kits boxed and ready for building, so will certainly video the guide to that. I think it can be done, it might not look like the boxed version specifically, but would still be fine to use on initial inspection. As the mauler has front legs, and the Forge has front guns but ill see soon enough!

[@mahari7285]

Really good, thx! 👍

[@directrulefromgamerchair3947]

I'm still getting used to not calling these "chaos dreadnoughts" lol But great video, will be very useful

Haha yeah the old naming long gone I think, and that nasty old metal lump we used to have! Cheers for watching!

[@directrulefromgamerchair3947]

Tbh I'm still salty we don't get sorcerer and rubricae dreadnoughts lol

Id love a psychic dread! If the Blood Angels can have one for no reason, then so should we!

@@OldAverageBritGaming that's what really gets me. There's no reason team edward should get them and yet we don't

[@directrulefromgamerchair3947]

Also the model for them could look so damn cool. Maybe it'll come with our 9th ed codex

Why does the HEllbrute from the DARK VENGEANCE BOX look SOOO MUCH better than this KIT???

Any chance you could give a schematic of which magnet to which join?

Just wanted to say I found this really useful and used this as inspiration for when I magnetised mine - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmmol32led14rKssi=O08SqYago9KWdT-N

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Thanks very much. Glad it worked out and inspired your build. Just watched your video. Worked out just right!

[@OnlyabcS]

Can i use one with DeathGuard?

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

I’m not sure. I don’t have the codex for death guard!

[@Roogy_Raja]

Where do you get your magnets online?

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

I get mine from eBay! Plenty of sellers there and you get way more for your money than from Amazon. I have a stash of magnets for pretty much all occasions now!

[@ragnarbaron6090]

Awesome video! I have a hellbrute I haven’t built yet that I was wondering how the hell I could do it

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Well how's that for good timing then! For one subscriber I was 3 months too late for their build, for yours, just right :)
