I was wondering if anyone had rigged up the screaming bell with magnets so that they can swap between the furnace and the bell set up as they wish? Also perhaps even magnetizing 20x20 bases to put the riders on should the mount be destroyed? (more for the PP as the GS would not stand properly) If anyone has done and it worked where did you place the magnets? |

Yep, I managed it. I didn't glue the archway in, and put magnets in the bit that holds the bell/wrecking ball up. I also put magnets underneath the bit where the rat ogre/plague monks sit, to allow those to be changed (I originally planned to just use the rat ogre for both, but the rat ogre's chain is longer than the plague monks', so that caused problems.) I put a magnet underneath the front bit, too. So I could switch between the plague priest and the bowl of tasty warpstone stuff. Sorry for not being more in-depth, but I hope this helps. Mutate: Also, about making a magnetised base for the plague priest, I did that too. Worked awesomely. |

Thanks that is quite helpful. I was wondering what to do with the business up the top because it seems to fit in rather snug. |

I've dont this too, although I will rarely use the bell - it gives me the option... All I have done is magnetised the top of the wrecking ball arm and the top of the bell and the hinge on the chasssis. The other bits are held with long pins when in their respective guises. |

Nope, don't have pictures. It's not painted yet, so I don't plan on for a while, either. I'll be buying a macro lens for my DSLR soon, though. That's the main reason I don't take pictures of my minis. The photographs have such a shallow depth. |
