With the upcoming 10th edition of Warhammer 40k looming, the real MVP is to magnetize your miniatures with these magnets to…
Well, after many dataslates, FAQs, and rule changes, 9th has changed a whole lot since it first started. We expect nothing to change moving forward, so this makes magnets more important than ever. Magnets will keep you from being locked in on a certain kit you spent good money for, and after you magnetize them you’ll have time for more games of Warhammer 40k.
Magnetize Your Warhammer 40k Miniatures (with these magnets)
An outstanding place to shop for all things Warhammer is The Magnet Baron. They’ve looked at some of the most customizable kits GW has to offer and have built magnetization kits with everything you need inside. That way, there’s no guessing on which magnet size and how many you need.
Plus, they actually care about the hobby, so if you’re going to buy magnets, might as well grab them from a company that knows and loves the same things we do.
Here are some of the more popular kits we’ve seen magnetized by all players in the community.
The Primaris Impulsor
The Impulsor has four different builds that have different functions. While it’s still technically a Transport, you can make it super hard to kill with a 4++ invuln or even call down a bombardment from the backfield. We’ve seen tons of lists use them in 9th Edition and magnets will keep you safe from all the changes.
We’ve done a review of the contents in the kit but if you’d rather watch a video on where these magnets were placed we’ve also got it right here below.
Magnetize All Versions 40k Eldar Avatar
This bad boy has some really cool options, and whether the rules change too much or not, it’s such a big and expensive minis, you might as well get all you can out of it! You can check out how to do it here, or watch the video below!
The Invictor Tactical Warsuit
The Invictor Tactical Warsuit has two builds right now. There’s an autocannon variant and the more widely popular flamer build. But depending on your army sort of dictates which weapon you’ll be running.
Whether you want your weapon options open or just want the model to be easier to transport, there’s a Magnet Baron kit we’ve reviewed!
Imperial Knights
Imperial Knights are probably one of, if not the most important kit to magnetize, plus with their new codex out, you will want to try out all the weapon combos. Their weapons are all very unique and fill a niche role on the tabletop. Plus, the model is already awkward to transport from its size which makes it even more appealing to throw a couple of magnets on.
We’ve talked about where to put your magnets to give you the most flexibility out of your Lord of War!
New Chaos Knights
With the release of the new Chaos Knights, we really don’t know how GW will change them up, so it’s super important to magnetize them! You can check out how to do it here, or watch the video below!
Primaris Suppressors & Other Flying Models
Even though these hit shelves some time ago, they are still worth magnetizing if you’re just buying the units! Mainly because there are a couple of dangers involved like glue frosting and even having the models become separate from the glue point. Unfortunately, if this happens, there’s no real fix other than to glue it again. If you want to do things the right away and minimize your chance of damage, you and always magnetize them!
The Octo-Blade!!
For the Imperial Guard’s LOW slot, the Baneblade and all its other variants can be assembled from one kit. Especially with rumors of a new book coming soon, you want to have all the options so you can take advantage of what the new codex has to offer! It just takes a little hobby know-how. We’ve got a step-by-step process on how to do it here for you.
Magnetizing Aggressors
We haven’t done a whole article on these guys just yet, but you can magnetize your Aggressors for different weapon options as well! Check out the video on it all.
By now, hopefully, you’ve seen how magnetizing will save you time, money, and frustration in the long run. If you’ve got some kits you’re still trying to build, make sure you increase their life expectancy by magnetizing their wargear. Especially in light of how many changes 9th has already seen!
