Talos Pain Engine: Magnetising It The Easy Way

This is the simple way that I have magnetised the Dark Eldar Talos Pain Engine/Cronos Parasite Engine, showing how you can make it easy to transport and store while retaining all of the kit's features.

11 years later and it’s still an amazing tutorial. Using this for my new talos models.

10 years on, you're still doing the Haemonculus's work with this guide.

Great help! I was stumped at the arms, LOVE your way of doing it!

[@Grisomsun]

Hey just wanted to say six years later, your video still breaks this down the best. Thanks!

[@kiblams]

Thanks very much! Glad to hear the effort was worth it

[@4watchingvids]

Just got this model and this is still tremendously helpful!

Just finished doing my model and thanks for this guide! A couple tricks that helped me: 1. My 2x1 magnets were pretty weak so I used 3x2 for the torso & waist joint 2. Mark the ends of your magnet so you know the polarity is correct. I spent more time taking out and flipping than anything else. 3. I drilled all my holes and the set my magnets, made it go a lot faster and important to have polarity marked by then! 4. Make sure your 2x1 magnets are strong! Mine were weak and the whole model feels a little unsteady right now.

I like the way you handled the Cronos tentacles/arms.

[@kiblams]

Cheers! It seemed the best option really. 😁

Such a difficult kit to magnetise. Thanks for coming up with the "easiest" method

[@kiblams]

😅 no problem, thanks for letting me know it was useful!

[@Simon-rd3pc]

Thank you for this! I always find it so hard to figure out what only has one vital piece included in the kit, and what doubles up... until it's already glued somewhere! Great tip on the ball joint too.

Cool stuff and Hopefully we can see him all painted up soon.

Look forward to seeing them panted. I have two old school pain engines that I use on the table. Mod a Eldar heavy weapons platforms into a cronos before the model came out.

Great job magnetising, so many options!! Can't wait to see it painted :)

[@siwoc]

It works pretty good. Nice way of magnetizing hi as it will be sooooo much easier to transport him!

[@ooftaZone]

Purchased fantasy models to mod for Grotesques. So fairly sure had the codex before the minis were available. Luckly not much changed for my list builds. So I was able to addapt from Dark Eldar Second Edition codex. Other than the two pain engines. Also have two old school Lilith and Drazor, and one Vile model from Second Edition. Use the Vile model for my Archon all the time. Back in the day disintegrator cannons could fire a 36" small blast shot at st 7. In 6th edition be nice to have.

Sy, is it cm or inch plz?

[@kiblams]

Hi, If I mention magnets I meant to say the sizes in mm. Hope this helps. Cheers.

[@leslieshafer6343]

1/16 is equivalent to 2mm, 1/8 is equivalent to 3mm. I say equivalent because these figures are the result of rounding.
