Magnetizing Killzone Volkus Terrain for Kill Team

[@haazeMAX]

Thanks for the upload I'm planning on doing the same job and this was very helpful to get started on thinking how to go about it. Cheers

I looked on the RUB website, I believe the 19L also has the same L x W dimensions as the 4 and 9L boxes, if you want some extra height and still have them stackable. The tall lids are brilliant, I got 5 of them and use them on the 4 an 9 L boxes, lets you store taller minis in the 4L box with ease

[@KieranRones]

I knew they were compatible but for some reason It had absolutely not twigged that I could do this for the taller minis lol. Thank you!

Any particular reason you'd want to magnetize the terrain? I'm new to the whole hobby, and just got my hivestorm box, and Im slowly gathering the tools I need to get going with the kit

[@KieranRones]

Transport and storage. This terrain is particularly large. I don't have a dedicated hobby space. So anything I own needs to be storable and if possible, stackable. I show near the end how this all fits into a 9litre Very Useful Box which stacks with the other boxes I use as the primary way to store my models/terrain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3zKaaKGe5mrnM0

@@KieranRones Thanks for the answer, that makes alot of sense. I will have to consider doing this myself to, as space is limited ^^

thanks for the great video, i was already preparing to drill holes along the connecting edges, but your solution seem more reliable. i didn't understand though why you couldn't apply the same principles on the second building. The whole building including the floors kinda hold without any glue. The first floor is actually held quite well by the door edge, and you actually used a magnet to hold it on one side, so with magnets on both sides it would hold very well the second floor bit tend to fall or not stay straight without glue, but a magnet would likely hold it firmly as well

[@KieranRones]

I tried to explain in the video but because of the way I was magnetising, it didn't hold the floor DOWN into place hard enough and wasn't secure. I've linked a reddit post in the description showing how another user ended up doing it and that seems to work well.

Might look into rectangular magnets.. they work better for things like this, because you can rotate them so the poles align and still get a nice flat for gluing.

[@miknugget597]

Great guide! how many magnets did you use for each?

[@Bunyip_Studios]

I forgot to ask, where was the painted scenery from again?

[@KieranRones]

Second lot of scenery are other "Volkus" terrain. However, they're actually just mechanicum terrain that has been used in lots of sets previously. I think you can even still get it from Imperium magazine. If you go to hachette's website. Hence, why I already had them painted. Literally exact same sprues.

[@Bunyip_Studios]

Ah right, well I've got all last seasons boxes, so plenty of terrain yet to build. There are a good few terrain sets on GW's website too

Cool video! A bit late to be getting advice in, but for anyone potentially wanting to copy... When you talk about having problems magnetising the one piece becahse it didn't have any 'notches' above the floor, you could have cut and glued in bits of sprue to make your own 'notches'. You could cut them small enough they weren't noticable, or style in in a way they 'fit in' (eg glue in fuelcan bits or skulls or something for the 'notches').
