Here is the magnets and the drill I used.
The magnets are 2mm diameter by 1mm thick disk neodymium magnets. The drill I use raw (won’t fit in my pin vice) but the GW plastic is just the right density to be easily drilled buy hand. Thanks GW plastics Industrial Chemists.

  1. Awesome you’ve posted…
    That’s worked out pretty well I think. How do they hold up to be handled?
    Your paintwork is looking pretty good too. Looks to me you’ve applied washes but not highlighted up afterwards, gives it a nice grimy/dirty look which in all reality is probably quite realistic. Nice job.

  2. More by accident than by design.

    The horses look good but don’t look too close.. teh magic wash wan’t very magic at all… I have frogone the highlight dry brush…

    did some more work last night… green stuff applied to shouldes of magentises arms.
    Trimmed the back banners of the riders and fitted 1 custom made lance.

    Are currently making bow holders and fixing quivers to models prior to undercoating… basicly the customisation.

    will post further pictures later.

  3. Who’s keen to play LOTR SBG ??

    I have a full Goblin Army.

    Mostly full HARAD army

    Mostly full wood elf army

    ok is Gondorian army..

    But I have 16 Wargs and riders

    12 Harad cavalry

    A Elephant.. or Mumakil

    Some heroes… but not very many…

    We can design our own scenarios in LOTR SBG… Mr Potter has some figs too…

    We could design a campaign style games with a patterned flow.. could be good fun.

    I have a half dozen orks and Uruk hai

    We could do battle companies with say about five companies.. and you can merge them together for a final battel if they make it?

    Actually I’ll draft somthing up if you like?
