Magnetizing Knight Armiger is Easier Than You Think!

[@scottyboy6269]

In English 6mm x 3mm is 1/4 x 1/8 , 3/8 x 1/16 is 10mm x 2mm, and 1/4 x 1/16 is 6mm x 2mm

[@ethan128]

Love the guide, I love the enthusiasm you had for additional weapons, such a shame nothings changed in the last 5 years

[@jetpilledmyron2056]

Yo, this tutorials are stellar! Do you happen to have one for the Moirax Armiger? I was planning on finding a way to get 2 of its Volkite weapons to stick to my Warglive, so wanted to see how different it was

[@Paskakatiska]

Can someone here tell me the metric measures for the arm magnets as well as those on the guns please? no clue what 1/4"x1/8" and 3/8 etc means at all. Need the right magnets after all

[@philhoggart764]

Thanks for this video , i have followed this and magnatized my Armingers too 👍👍

[@26snoopy82]

What scale magnets are you using?

[@DannyTube69]

Miniature market is in US, in UK Postage is obscene.

[@spikeybitstv]

yikes, sorry to hear that.

[@MegaJ0sh]

If you want to get a discount on any GW/miniature stuff then just go to element games or almost any FLGS and it will be 10-15% off RRP

[@NecronNb]

I don't understand, why carve off the top of the legs just to add a magnet that allows it to spin? Just fit the bottom part of the body with putty and shove the legs in with the pin, that'll create a snug fitting "dock" for the legs that wouldn't need a magnet - or you could simply do the same with some magnets at the top of the legs. When the green stuff is set, pull the legs off and glue the magnets. All that cutting and carving just seems like a lot of effort and risk for the same effect.

Is the space wolf theme 3d printed? Or is it included in this kit?

[@rayzor181]

James Smith 3D printed

[@Berube1984]

the size you drilled that arm out to almost ripped the part around where the magnet goes , i would recommend smaller magnets this is not something that should be in a how to guide for beginners IMO im sure a few people have ruined their model trying to drill that out to 1/4 inch

[@michaelehlers4252]

Can you recommend where to get said magnets that were used?

[@bleepbloop7227]

eBay, Amazon. as long as you know what size you want many online shops have them

[@spikeybitstv]

yep or K&J magnetics

[@OrrgunUK]

What type of hand drill do you use?

[@spikeybitstv]

Makita www.amazon.com/Makita-FD05R1-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Driver-Drill/dp/B019WA72IG/ref=sr_1_10?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1529408201&sr=1-10&keywords=makita+drill

[@stephenmoore8994]

Did you use the power drill for the 1/8th by 1/16th as well? I have some models that I want to magnetize with that size but Im not sure of the best way to get the holes drilled

[@spikeybitstv]

In the arm sockets? Yes.

[@stephenmoore8994]

Spikey Bits okay, thanks!

Spikey Bits can you please make some painting tutorials for the deepkin army. And please paint volturnos! I need some help, and it would be fun! And when Will you unbox them?

[@mutehowl]

Do you need a metal thimble it going to use a razor blade and cutting towards yourself. It's a shield your thumb wears for protection. Used in sewing.

[@fernandochase2848]

Instablaster

[@svenpflug1679]

Great vid can’t wait to do this!!

[@Hatebreed0]

Question? how would you magnetize the head? I got 4 models ( Warglaives and Helverins heads ) I really dont want to super glue the head but I know its not tough enough to hold in place after x time has passed? I have a general idea but want a second opinion

[@the_hybred648]

Add metal to the face and a magnet in the head

[@StigPrice]

Not sure you actually need to magnatize anything other than the weapons as they just slot around the arms.

[@mrgrimm335]

The torso,but you could also just glue some sprue to the bottom half so the top half just sits on without sliding off

[@StigPrice]

@mrgrimm335 yeah the torso is decent to magnatise for transporting and posing I suppose... But I didn't bother, all mine only have magnatise arms so I can swap our weapons

[@Alpha.Monster]

Is there anything you could recommend so that the magnets don't make the model as... limp? it seems like the weight of melee the arm was just making it stay completely pointed down when you're not holding it

[@spikeybitstv]

nah its totally posable up down all around.

[@Alpha.Monster]

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for this video!

[@SenecaRapson]

You can increase the strength of magnets by using more. Like you can take the base / body and install two magnets in a column to give them more hold with the other magnets on the arms / weapons.

[@wolfassassin359]

You want more friction to prevent the weapons to just hang. if the magnets are not touching each other you get less force between them combined with less surface area touching between the two parts. so either as Seneca Rapson say more magnets (best if they touch each other ), or you get some Green stuff and fill in the cavity on the weapon end so you get more surface area and friction between.

[@GoingRampant92]

More/bigger magnets.

[@annaalbury7748]

What does Armiger mean,?

[@spikeybitstv]

According to wiki In heraldry, an armiger is a person entitled to use a heraldic achievement (e.g., bear arms, an "armour-bearer") either by hereditary right, grant, matriculation, or assumption of arms. Such a person is said to be armigerous.

[@annaalbury7748]

@@spikeybitstv Thanks for the explanation. I wondered if it meant someone who bore arms, ie weapons, for a knight or soldier. It has a strength to it, as words go.

[@j-zarno1056]

"magnetizing your armiger is secretly easy!" Hmmmm.... Did you just pull a NextLevelPainting on us?

[@timvoyles1940]

More like 7mm x 2mm. Based on this vid I got the size listed for the weapons... doesn't fit

[@bradleystanfield470]

Got the 7x2mm magnet but does not fit in the thermal spear looks like I should of got 6x2mm magnets for that. will def have to find another use for these 7x2mm mags then

[@hamsack981]

I wish they made rules for 7th for this thing.... :/ I don't want to go to 8th. I juuuuust finished painting my army and got all kinds of codecies...

[@jboner2121]

8th is better and you could easily find the 8th edition codices and rule book online in pdf for free

[@Michaentus]

Hate the tiny gun on top. Its like ducktaping a bolter pistol to space marine helmet.
