Undying Artificers (Necrons)

Magnetizing – it is something that I have done before, but this time – I’m determined to do it right.  In the past I have magnetized by using superglue and small rare earth magnets – tragically, I ran into a few problems using this method:

1. Super glue kind of sucks as a heavy duty adhesive, it is extremely common for it to become brittle and break over time.
2. Some of the rare earth magnets you can buy are crazy strong.
3. Green stuff isn’t a great epoxy for heavy duty work either.

This resulted in after a few months – many of my magnets falling off of my miniatures, sticking to their transport cake pan.  However – as the saying goes: Failure Breeds Success . . . or at the very least it breeds another try.

So what will we be magnetizing today?  My Necrons of course – some say the true Good Guys of the the Warhammer 40k galaxy, others, those with less charitable voices, calls us deranged, insane, and even the sole cause of the current galaxies state.

With two Indomitus boxes to start off my collection – we’ll trying to magnetize almost the whole batch in one go.  Which means:

1. 40x Necron Warriors
2. 2x Necron Overlords
3. 12x Scarab Swarms
4. 2x Royal Wardens
5. 2x Plasmancers
6. 6x Skorpekhs
7. 2x Viral Construct
8. 4x Cryptothralls
9. 1x Heavy Lokhurst Destroyer (present from one of my buds)
10. 1x Skorpekh Lord

I know what you are thinking . . . where is the second Skorpekh Lord?  And where is the Canoptek Reanimator.  Well I forgot to take them off the painting station . . . so . . . they will get magnetized another time.  Now I bet you are wondering how I set did the magnetizing.  Well I followed a guide from youtube of course!  Really the secret is using two part epoxy which is far stronger than glue.

Here is the supply list:

• Epoxy
• Magnets: 5mm x 1mm
