Magnetize!
Starting with the Lord of Contagion and the Plague Marines, the first thing I’ll do is something I’ve gotten in the habit of…adding weight to and magnetizing the bases. My latest technique is to fill in the void of the bases with spackle (the dry time indicating type is particularly useful…it turns white when hardened). This probably doesn’t provide as much weight as gluing in a coin etc., but it does make it easier to add a magnet afterwards.
After a while the spackle will have dried (some cracking is normal, but won’t matter after the next step).
I used 400 grit sanding block to smooth out the surfaces. Next I drilled small holes for the magnets (easily done in the soft spackle) and then glued them in place with CA. I then sealed the bases with thinned PVA, followed by base coating them in black.
And here we are...ready for the next steps
