great idea! I like that "wreckmarker" ...

;-)

what head did you use for the Ogrun bokur? it`s not the original, isn`t it? looks a little bit like an orkhead from cofrontation.

Thanx.

Yeah, it's a Confrontation ork head. If I could I would proxy most of my models from confrontation to most other games.

That is... AMAZING which specific magnets do you use? Where did you get them and what size are they? And could i just glue them on instead of drilling or no?

And would the 1/16 inch earth magnet be good for even big warjacks or no?

[gargamel6699]

Thanks! You can get them and kjmagnetics(dot)com.

The size varies and I would suggest nothing less than neodinium for warjacks. I used earth magnets bought from radio shack for my first jacks, but they aren't strong enough. To drill or not to drill is dependent on the model, but most of the time i just drill a hole and glue in the magnet. Be sure to mark the polarities and how they react to different parts on the model. sometimes they'll push other magnets and make modelling difficult.

I use confrontation models as character and monster for descent.. they look much better than the originals

[gargamel6699]

Yes. No matter what you put between magnets they will work. The only thing that affects it is the distance between them.

hey if you paint over the magnet does it still work?
