Assault Cannon

Just finished the paint and pre washing. 

Terminator bodies magnetized

Tomorrow the rest of the arms.  Then primer and a test paint.

Did some work on the Termies

I had previously cleaned up ALL the arms for my Terminators.  Tonight I clipped out and cleaned up all the heads except for the bare Sargent head.  I effing hate painting faces so that stayed on the sprue.

I also magnetized the Heavy Flamer Which is one of my favorite weapons of all.

K&J Magnetics

 

The fine folks at K&J are a boon to hobbyists.  They have in stock every kind of magnet imaginable in every size.  I use their magnets in my table top war game miniatures and have been very impressed.  The pages are easy to read, the sizing charts are excellent and the explanations of polarity useful.  I usually get my order within days instead of weeks and have been extremely pleased with their service overall.

They get two bolters up :)

New Terminators a WIP

I started work on these a couple days ago. I did a test magnetization with the sargent who turned out really well. I was however a little concerned about the 1/8 magnets and the weight of the assault cannon and the heavy flamer. I did some research and ended up talking to a gent in the UK who had the same problem with his GKs and had a vid showing how he switched up to a larger magnet. So I bought some 3/16 magnets and tried it out. It worked well.
