War Walker cont.

So here are a few additional shots of the now complete magnetized walker. All that's left is to paint this sucker up, and glue him together.

So the first tutorial i read on magnetizing your walker said to put 3-4 small magnets in the slot with the weapon tab would normally go (see above) and then to attach a larger magnet to the gun. Well as it turns out this connection was to weak for me. It held, but i didn't like the grip. Since the magnets were already glued in . . . i opted just to glue a larger magnet on top of them, while ideally i would have preferred the magnets be hidden, i may attempt a little green stuff to hide them. So the above shot of the weapon mounting brackets was the first go round, and was later modified (see other pics).

Here is a view with two Scatter Lasers attached . . . you can see the magnets now, but i think once painted and possibly green stuffed it won't even be noticeable.

Without the guns on the "new" magnet sits basically on top and is kind of an eye soar, but as you saw once the gun is attached it doesn't look nearly as dominant. When i put together the remaining two walkers of the squad i will try to countersink these magnets the first time around.

Here is a close up on the weapons, as you can see i sunk the magnets into the weapons base enough to make them flush. Once painted the magnets won't even look like magnets, they will just look like curved Eldar weapon forms.

Here is the walker and all the weapons in all the glory. From the top: x2 Star Cannons, x2 Bright Lances, x2 Shuriken Cannons, x2 Missile Launchers, and x2 Scatter Lasers.

Additionally below is a little video that shows just how strong these magnets are!
