![]() ![]() With the January Field Manual just released, I thought I would take a look at Russes to see if there were any overlooked options. If that wasn’t enough there’s also the choice of running a Russ as a Tank Commander or standard battle tank. ![]() I was planning on just buying a "starter" magnetization kit from thewarstore that includes magnets and a drill bit for them, but I wanted to check with you all first regarding what size magnets to buy.As the mainstay of the Astra Militarum with 7 turret options, 3 hull options, and 4 sponson options, figuring out how to outfit a Russ for battle can be a daunting proposition for even an experienced Guard commander. I've never magnetized anything before, but I want the weapons to appear as if they're glued to the model and not sagging. What is the best size magnet to use for these parts of the tank? I've seen articles varying from 1/16 to 1/8, but haven't found any info on the magnets' depth/thickness. Additionally, I'm planning on using forgeworld turrets for my Russ variants further down the road because I think they look cooler, so I'm not too concerned about how to magnetize the tank's main gun. ![]() I want to keep the "housing" for the side sponsons glued to the tank as I plan to use my tanks to support infantry advances and want to field as much firepower on them as possible. I am only interested in magnetizing the weapons for the side sponsons and the hull mounted lascannon/heavy bolter. Usually, the authors only list the diameter, but not the magnet's measurements for its thickness/depth. I know there are many articles out there on magnetization, and I have read many, but what many of them leave out, is the size of the magnets that are used. As an IG player, I am seeking to magnetize my Leman Russ tanks. Once again I seek your wisdom in modelling and painting. ![]()
