elmo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 This is my current magnetisation project.... Taking the Predator a step further and being very keen on getting the most use from every model I buy I have been playing around with a Vindicator to see if I would be able to turn it into a Transfomer. This is what I have done so far....

Someone out there may have a better idea. Feel free to post pictures / sketches or random comments ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Wow, nice work Elmo! I think you might be missing something - Dozer blade! Perhaps you'll never use it, but just in case. I also assume you will be magnetizing HK missiles and storm bolters on hatches and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 I ran out of magnets but the dozerblade should not be too difficult to do. Will prob. use a large magnet inside the track space with a metal plate on the dozerblade arms, one on either side. I will give it a go next week as my 200 magnets just turned up in the post. The hatches/HK will be as per the Predator tutorial - link in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I trust the special issue wil have a pintle mounted twin linked plasma gun ;) well, you said for the guy who wants everything.......and I always want more plasma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Been playing a bit more with the magnet locations and have now removed the sprue piece from the top hatch opening in favour of 2 more magnets inside the track guard. This will allow those who want to to paint the internals ;) I will be working on this over the next week along with how to magnetise the siege shield.

Burias-Drak'shal Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Looks great! What size magnets are you using? Thinking of doing the same with rhinos & razorbacks, and maybe some termies as well while waiting for our new codex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Sorry for the delay in answering - RL got in the way a little (bad connection). Burias-Drak'shal: What size magnets are you using? Thinking of doing the same with rhinos & razorbacks, At the moment the magnets are just provisional as this is just a tester with what I had left over on my paint table. I will be putting up a full tutorial with loads of pictures and "how to" as an addition to this one in Sept (well deserved holiday coming up ;) ) Moving on.... here is my initial idea on the Siege Shield OFF http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/Magnetisation%20of%20Spacemarines%20Predator/CIMG2840.jpg Fitted http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/Magnetisation%20of%20Spacemarines%20Predator/CIMG2839.jpg How to http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/Magnetisation%20of%20Spacemarines%20Predator/CIMG2841.jpg As you look at the picture - the right hand side is glued together as per the instructions The left hand side has had 4 (2x1mm) magnets fitted as shown. This allows the SS to be easily added or removed as you wish. furioso-prime: and I always want more plasma! How about this then? My version of LasPlas :huh: http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/Magnetisation%20of%20Spacemarines%20Predator/CIMG2843.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/Magnetisation%20of%20Spacemarines%20Predator/CIMG2842.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Great work Elmo! Not RB Las/Plas, Predator Executioner! (from Kromlech, is it?), and cheaper than buying the whole damn model from FW - I wish they would come up with packs that sell just the turret and/or sponsons for some of their newer stuff. It actually looks like a cross between the plasma destroyer and the heavy conversion beamer - so I'd say it works perfectly for both. I was also looking at the Lemon Russ turret for an Executioner recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks EPK - The LasPlas was a little tongue-in-cheek :huh: it is from Kromlech. Just unpacked it but at first glance they (got 2!) look good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Just to inform my Brothers that due to a well deserved holiday to somewhere warm and sunny this project will be on hold till September. I am then hoping to start on the official Tutorial and build the other 2 vindicators. Until then :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Happy Holiday Elmo, its winter here and hasn't stopped raining for three weeks, until today that is. Can I come too ;) s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeps Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Top magnetising old chap - I think thats the first time I've ever seen anyone attempt to magnetise a vindicator, but its absolutely genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Brothers The time of testing is now at an end.... I respectfully ask my brother Techmarines to check out the now completed Post #18 here and actively search for errors and spooking mistakes :rolleyes: All c&c will be forwarded to the Master of the Forge for further action as required..... I hear room 42 is empty again :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 You asked for it . . . Title: Magnetized is spelled with a z Step 3: In the sentence "do not drill to far" you need an extra o; gluing is not spelled with an e Step 4: "to hold this firmy in place" I'm sure you meant firmly Step 9: "Glue the sides onto the Siege Shield and allow to dry." Did you want to say "allow it to dry" "Put the last 2 small magnets on top of the ones glued onto the Shield DO NOT GLUE" Should be a period between shield and do. Step 10: interchangable should be interchangeable "Congratulations - you should now have a fully interchangable Vindicator/Rhino" interchangeable again. That's all I saw. Cool tutorial!

Cheers - I guess I asked for that :woot: Magnetised is the British spelling - Magnetized is the US version :rolleyes: The rest are due to a 20 year old Single Malt and bad eyesight - edit underway....
