HOW TO MAGNETISE THE FORGEFIEND AND MAULERFIEND MADE EASY!

[@lukewithann7256]

First the Helbrute and now the Forgefiend. Your videos have become an invaluable part of my model assembly :)

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

I’m glad my content still has a great audience and continues to help fellow hobbyists!

[@svrn892]

Hi - I just want to say I've watched your video probably a thousand times and you are the sole reason I was able to fully magnetize my forgefiend/maulerfiend. I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this!

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

You are very welcome!

[@thingmate7361]

oh my god, someone whose magnetising tutorial isn't "hey, this is how I magnetised the model and I'll show you how it goes together" like we haven't just skipped the part of the tutorial we all came here for. thank you so much for this! I'm looking to do Knights so knowing what sizes of magnets are good for general sizes is amazing, and Fiends are on my to-buy list too (cuz they're cool). Keep up the good work!

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Haha! So true on other video magnet guides so I am glad you appreciated the “straight to the point” version here. I’ve got Knight magnet guides on here somewhere too👍 Glad the video helped you out sir!

[@jean-louispayan6858]

Cleverly magnetized and very well explained. Thank you.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Glad it’s helped you out 👍

[@Miguelmaturen]

Awesome job mate will definitely use for my forgefiend coming on the eldritch omen box. Thanks!

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

You are very welcome!

[@kingarthurii5001]

My plan exactly for what I am going to do!

[@adammeney8841]

Nice Job. I have 2 more inbound. For my first one I glued the pauldrons to the chassis instead of magnetising them. Saves a bit of grief.

[@40kfamily85]

What a helpful video - thank you. This is exactly what I want to do when I get my forgefiend and I will use this as a guide.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Awesome. Hope the guide helps you out👍👍

[@L3GHO5T]

Awesome video man thank you for you’re time and effort it’s greatly appreciated! I absolutely love this hobby because of the people! Everyone is so friendly and willing to spend there time to help, a community like I’ve never been involved with and I’m proud to say I’m a part of it! I just picked up two of these guys for my world eaters army today and defiantly magnetizing! Thanks again! Defiantly defiantly subbing!

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Well thanks for the kind words and glad you found this video useful for your own builds! Good luck with the paint jobs :) The community certainly has some good help within it, thanks for subbing!

[@L3GHO5T]

@@OldAverageBritGaming thanks buddy!! The video was of great help I got one totally magnetized but I ran out of 2 and 3 mm magnets so I ordered more. I got the main body and back legs painted so far of the one. It’s been a blast so far! Such a cool sculpt! Thanks again for the time and effort put into making this, greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work! Cheers bud!!!

[@stonethebear3806]

Great video Man! Used your Process to mag my mauler/forge fiend and am really pleased w/ the results!

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

That’s great to hear! Glad the video helped out👍

[@moosemoosington]

Great vid, Nick. I got one for my Black Legion army that I magnetised similarly a while back. It’s one of the better kits to magnetise.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Nice one Adam. Fairly straight forward to do with just some thought needed on where to drill or socket flush mount and trim your balls 🤣

[@CherudexGaming]

nice, i was building mine as a kitbash for chaos dwarfs, but i didn't want to close the possibilities for forgefiend and maulerfiend

[@albertahall9189]

Great vid Nick. Flood sounds like a nightmare so appreciate the effort you’ve made to upload !

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Thanks Alberta. Think the worst is over there now but happy to be making videos again!

[@WarHatter7242]

Thank you for the vid. I'd actually wait a month to when we get to see what happens to DG before buying generic CSM units for Thousand Sons. We might very well get to use them still, but after what happened with Forgeworld...

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

I’m sure we will be fine in the end. GW want us to buy as much as possible so restricting options is bad business! Look what happened to the Storm Raven early on and loads of Marine chapters couldn’t use it then magically they could 🤣 I’ve just got the new FW book so will be dissecting the impact to my armies this week 👍

[@clon1122]

just doing my first ever magnetized build! This video helped a ton! unfortunately i forgot to get a bigger drill bit and my hand drill doesn't fit the bigger bit. such is life.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

I struggle on slightly bigger drill bits as well tbh, and sometimes wrap a cloth around It and hand turn just to more out the slightly larger holes. Its not good for you, but its never for very much once you use the smaller bits first...id rather do that quickly than break out a bigger drill! Glad the guide helped you out :)

[@AWESOMO5]

Thanks for the guide mate, now my DinoBot is modular. Cheers

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Glad it helped!

[@michaelkasubaski9426]

Appreciate this even if im only doing certain parts on then rsther than the whole shebang

[@Kantorblue]

Nice mate thankyou, I've got an iron warriors army on the go and am going Damon engine heavy so have 2 of these lads to do!

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Awesome!

[@TheWhoamaters]

Great vid. I've been doing something similar with my knights, but had to choose between the battle cannon and the thermal cannon since I couldn't get them to sit nicely when magnetized

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Yeah thats the biggest challenge with the Knight kit is the Cannon option. Its possible, but only if you really skimp a little on the detail of the ammunition type as well. No one really notices tbh :) I have a vid on my Knight magnet guide too!

[@RSBurgener]

Thanks for this. I took advantage of Eldritch Omens and I bought the stuff the Eldar players didn't want. I got 2 of these for 30 pounds each still on the sprue. I magnetized the guns for one Forgefiend and now I'm fully magnetized the second kit. I'm trying to get my Iron Warriors ready to go when the new codex comes out and it's very hard to know what they should be. Hopefully NOT two Maulerfiends! Leaked rules are saying the Iron Warriors get a strategem to make their ectoplasma do flat 4 dmg. And since tanks are sadly a thing of the past, my Warsmith has to live in the now and use Daemon Engines, sickening as the prospect may be.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Flat 4 for IW would be mental! But yeah thanks and big engines are not in a great place but the new Armour of Contempt is helping out a bit!

[@basicminiaturepainting]

One of my favourite models I've never bought it just looks so sexy

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

They are great kits that’s for sure, proper chaotic monsters!

[@mkulchar]

Great video. Was going to get a one and this helps me decide what to go with as I don't like buying tte same model 2times just so I have each variant

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Awesome! Always love a good magnet on this channel!

[@MaxPower666]

Very good video. Very usefull. Thanks for sharing it! 🖤

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

You are very welcome. Glad it’s helped out 🎉

[@paranelmanterlyzastratatum885]

Hey I watched your video before, but could you include the quantity of magnets needed in the description? Also do you know of any ways to install magnets without a drill? Thanks!

[@Phatcaulk69]

How do you base the model efficiently then? Also, why magnetize the shoulders... did I miss that explanation? Thanks!

[@daniele0375]

Yo man can I still magnetise it all except the front shoulder pads if I have only 4x1 mm n42 magnets (great video btw, really helpful)

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

I think you possibly could but may need to double stack at the bigger joints for a stronger pull. But tbh, eBay sellers have some great pricing for these little magnets I’d probably get a selection of sizes for this and future projects you have. Thanks for watching and glad it’s useful👍👍

[@daniele0375]

@@OldAverageBritGamingAh ok, thanks for the response :)

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

No worries at all!!

[@horuslupercal2385]

Another great video...... Thank you!

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Cheers buddy!

[@bhhjjjkloopp]

Am i missing something here? You dont need to magnetize the shoulderpads right? because the smaller ones go on both shooty options and the bigger ones only on the maulerfists? correct me if im wrong please

[@michaelpaul8331]

What strength magnets do you use? Also, how do the magnetized legs fit once glued? I realized AFTER than you can glue the back legs in two slightly different poses. One which lets the mauler look more hunched and allows the fist to touch the base, and one that is for the forge where the legs stand pretty. I glued them in the mauler pose so now the front forge fiend feet don't want to sit properly. Any way to remedy that?

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Sorry for the huge delay. I don't actually remember the strength. But it doesn't need to be huge, pretty much any type will suffice as on the whole they are not overly load bearing.

[@mkulchar]

Hey nick where did u find 4*2mm magnets can seem to only find them but as n35. Also in your description u say 2*1 in your shoulder pads but say 3*1 in your video. Want to make sure I buy the correct ones Can I use a 5*2 for the fists and lower ball joints?

[@UnderdogPainting]

Great video loving the thumbnails BTW keep smashing it fella

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Cheers Bazza!

[@DrVitoti]

Is there any reason not to glue the shoulderpads to their shoulders?

[@twitchybear7589]

I tried to magnetise mine but my goodness it is not as easy as you make it look lol I think the magnets I've used are too small so I'll buy the ones you're using and try that. The weapons just drop, the back legs move so much, and the weapon attachment parts keep falling off XD

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Sounds like your magnet pull is not right for sure. Any droopy parts are usually caused by not enough power. N52 are the stronger ones to go with, and of course you can use multiple magnets in series with each other to help out on strength without taking up more surface area.

[@merlin566]

Thanks but after seeing the hassle I'd rather buy another one. :D Though I'll magnetize the head and side weapons. :)

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Yeah realistically that’s what I’ve done for my next one too! I wasn’t doing all that work again!

[@mkulchar]

What color did u do your skin, I am about to order 1 and like to get the paint the same time.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

I’m trying to remember the colour palette I used as it’s been a while! I think the basics was to paint it in raw flesh tones so was mid purple shaded with charroburg crimson then highlighted with purple and pinks. Using the same style for all my daemonic flesh such as Helbrutes as well.

"Venusaur use vine whip" - Ahriman the Exile

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

That’s a Pokemon ref right? I can see why now! 🤣

[@directrulefromgamerchair3947]

Yup. The forge and mauler fiend, and the heldrake, are basically blastoise, venusaur and charizard. In my gaming group it became a big inside joke lol

@@OldAverageBritGaming magnetize for sure. At least the two different gun types. Also for thousand sons

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Nice one!

[@mkulchar]

Have u ever magnetize the runic Marines? And aharmin on a disk

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Personally I have not but know a few that have. You need really small magnets, like 1mm ones for Rubric arms, probably 2mm for Ahriman feet to disc, and a steady drilling hand!

[@129jmaster]

What drill do you use buddy. My manual drill only takes up to 5mm

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Tbh anything my pinvice can’t take I wrap the bit in kitchen roll and manually bore the hole out after drilling a large big as I can with the vice. It’s not pleasant, but using a power tool would be very tricky!

[@twitchybear7589]

I don't suppose you have any tips for removing magnets? I was considering cutting the ball joints off where the current magnets are but could really use some advice.

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

Tricky really. What adhesive did you use, and are they drilled in or surface mounted? You may have to drill the magnet out then rebuild the damage with greenstuff or equivalent... Ive has to do it a couple of times, I drill either side of the magnet, and then use needle nose pliers into the drill holes to grasp the magnet, and twist and pull. Its not easy :(

[@twitchybear7589]

@@OldAverageBritGaming Sadly I used Gorilla super glue so they are really in there. I ended up cutting the joints on the limbs and I've ordered the magnets in your video description. Thank you for the help and response! :)

[@OldAverageBritGaming]

No problems at all on helping. It’s part of my channel ethos! I use the same glue, and have made a few mistakes that were very difficult to resolve too. It happens, but glad you have a solution!

[@PeninsulaPaintingProjects]

Nice on Nick. I'm just about to start doing this project. Also Magnus did nothing wrong (coming from a SW player)

[@submach1ne]

Where do you get your magnets?

Either eBay or Amazon. Just compared prices and sizes and picked the best option. Usually ended up with Amazon due to impatience and wanting them next day!
