- How to Magnetize Warhammer 40k Knights the Easy Way
Imperial Knights are some of the biggest plastic kits that Games Workshop produces. Massive nearly $200 models with a plethora of weapon options and customizability. What is one to do when an unfortunate data-slate or FAQ makes your Knight inert? With this guide and the easy application of a few magnets there is nothing to fear!

He uses magnets in the size of: 5mm x 2mm, 6mm x 2mm, 10mm x 3mm, 12mm x 3mm and a 12mm x 2mm.
Thanks you saved me 12:42 minutes
As someone who has just purchased his first knight , I needed this video. Subbed , thank you for the content. Look forward to watching the backlog. All the best from UK! :)
Glad you found it helpful and thank you! This was actually my first big knight build as well, so there's plenty of more knight videos to come!
For the battle cannon found if you cut off the nub on the little ammo thing that got in the way of the other shield you can glue it to the battle cannon shield itself so you dont have to cut the other shield
Nice! That sounds like a great piece of tech that I'll have to try out on my next knight :)
@@toasthammer I hope that works out for you. I loved the video and it made me feel a lot better about magnetizing my first knight.
Great video! I'll use it as a tutorial to magnetize my first Knight.
Thanks and good luck!
Thank you, this is very helpful.
Thanks! Glad it helped you out :D
Nice video! Thanks for making it to the point and funny 🍻
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful 😄
Great video!
I went a little crazy magnetizing mine, and I have swappable head, masks, shield, legs, and missile launcher face plates in addition to everything here.
I don't recommend doing the head (hard to get it to fit right again without rubbing against the body), but swappable masks are awesome.
Yea you can definitely go way crazier with it haha I just wanted all of the gameplay options to be available basically.
Found it very useful, I think I don't want to do it anymore, lol. I'm not competitive and I think I'd rather just have the pose and weapon type locked in for a solid and sturdy finish.
Hahaha thats fair! Magnetizing isn't for everyone :)
RE: shoulder guns
you can clip the pegs, put a magnet up in the Y of the yoke and on the stubber/melta/multilaser and they stick/swap nicely
Yep you totally can! i just personally didn't see a need to due so since the pressure fitting seemed quite stable, I think especially after I put down some primer/paint on the components
I feel like i missed why magnetizing the main body of the battle cannon/thermal lance first is bad? is it the polarity issue? great video overall though, thank you!
Yea the polarity can interefere with magnetizing the arm portions if you're not careful!
How do you simply "place" your magnets in the socket holes without them being sucked out by the other magnet? Do you glue the magnets to the sprue-bits or in the sockets themselves with pva-glue, or what do you do?
Simply glueing a magnet to a flat surface doesn't seem to work for me. It gets sucked off by the reverse polarity magnet.
I use CA glue to fasten all of my magnets, haven't really had any issues with the magnetization pulling them off
my kit only has 4 "arms" for the weapons
Is it an older kit? If it was before Canis Rex came out I think that might be possible
@@toasthammer it looks like my kit has the stuff to be able to make canis rex.
@@user-zi4uo2oy1u It should have all of the options described then!
this wasent maybe, the most prepaired tutorial bro, it gets the jizzt, but maybe make another tutorial after you made like...2 more knights, iwe made 10 + because i am absolute knight collector, and like, you need to get the practice in before you do this, i just wanted to give you some positive feedback, sorry if this sounds rude i dident intend it to be
No offense taken! I personally like to display "how the sausage was made" for a couple of reasons. Since it was my first knight build, I was hoping to suggest that it's easier and less daunting than new builders may expect, and also the mistakes and errors I ran into might be common pain points, so by signaling that these issues may exist I hope that people watching can avoid them in their own builds!
But hey if you've built 10+ knights you probably don't need a magnetization guide anyway 😂
true i dont need a guide hehe, but i devour anything warhammer related on youtube, never too experienced to learn something new!, i do appriciate your content tho, has to be said the more diffrent youtube channels i watch as i create, the more inspired i get, your video is appriciated for what it is, as a warhammer fan to another, its as good as anyone els's
