Couple of pictures...



All the magnetized weapons after I finished them. I even glued togeter 4 starcannon, guess I own too many magnets and lost too much of my sanity to super glue vapor.



My two falcons/prism tanks...the third falcon/night spinner is sitting on the bench, I'm scared of working with some few resin parts worth ~30€.



3 Serpents with EML, S*C and SL armament



the remaining two serpents with SC and BL. As you can see swaping the chin guns just takes a few seconds, thanks to my magnetizing spree.



The whole tank force (except the spinner). I glued together in total:

- 7 chin catapults and 5 chin cannons
- 2 d-cannons aka "count as prism tank"
- 6 EML and 6 BL
- 4 S*C and SL
- 10 SC
- 2 pulse lasers

And in the last picture you can see my assembled infantery. Shees and Dragons will get corsair cloaks attached to their back with GS, but I won't do that until I finished everything else except the spiders. They are sitting on their bases, so I can play with them anyway...



Sums up to:

9 ranger
15 FD + 3 DBF exarchs
7 shees, a old mirrorsword exarch, a new executioner exarch and Jain Zar
4 old reapers, a usless shucan-exarch and Maugan

= fullfilled my assembly vow for this week, next things to will be the flyer bases for the tanks, the guardian jetbikes and the DA. My goal is to finish them until thursday, allowing me to play a game with them at our local GW store. Thursday is "veterans night", after the shop has closed older players like me are allowed to play against each others on those fabulous tables of the german GW-HQ without any small kids running around and pestering you with questions.

Yeah, but it really pays of in the end... should be ~130 magnets for all the tanks&weapons... after I got the knack of it the work process was a piece of cake.

Used 2 small stacks of magnets with a nail head on the "wrong side", glued the first stack on a weapon, laid it aside. Glued the other stack on the next weapon. Took up the first, which had dried already and severed the glued magnet+weapon from the remaining stack. Glued it on the third weapon, took up the other stack...rinse and repeat. After glueing one magnets on one side of every weapon I switched the nail head on the stacks, turned the weapons over and started with the first weapon again.

Seercouncil will be magnetized too, I own enough glaives and swords from the DA exarch sprue to build a 100% WYSIWYG council..except the fact that my guys are riding cold ones instead of jetbikes.
