I need em' for my multi-part models!!

Who has them for sale?

There used to be someone on here selling them, got some more?

Any retail places that anyone knows about?

This is probably obvious, but tried ebay?

Go to Wondermagnets.com

Very reasonable, I have ordered from them before.

You can get the small ones, about the size you need for Dread arms and whatnot, or smaller for about a quarter

That will take you right to the ordering page

I use K&J

https://www.kjmagnetics.com/

Good prices, fast shipping, flat rate shipping (means stock up ^^), and havnt had any hassles with them, plus good selection.

yeah - ebay was one of my stops, but I thought if maybe someone on here who had a business and had some, I would support them first. eBay is a tough place to buy anything anymore. I am still dealing with a transaction a month old because of shipping issues.

Thanks for the responses so far!!!

Look in the 40K trades section...

I don't remember the name, but there IS a trader here who posts them frequently.

I gets mine at Radio Shack for $1.50 apiece. They're the perfect size, too!

[Enigma Nostra]

Gearhead, seriously, check out K&J, you can get a much better price mate.

I was just wondering about this the other day...my only question is which size do you guys use? I don't want to drop some dough on a batch and have them be too large/small for my uses...

[Linrandir]

I used some 1/8 inch diameter, 1/8th inch thickness magnets from Amazing Magnets for my heavy Warjack arms and the things work GREAT. I think I will use the same diameter but 1/16th thickness for the light jacks I have. The 1/16th thickness will prolly work well for most 40K and fantasy type models too.

Lin-

I don't know much about warjacks, but are the large ones on scale with the metal SM dreads? I'm interested in doing magnetic arms for interchangable weapons, but I want to make sure I get something strong enough to hold the metal arms in place.

i use K&J as well
they have been having a sale on some extra stock of 1.5mm thick by 6mm diam. these would hold dreadnought arms like no tomorrow.

2 will hold a space marine battlebarge on a flying stem.

but something like a dread arm you had better use 2 pairs in 2 positions so it wont spin on the magnet
here are the sizes i have:

6mm X 1.5mm discs
1/32 X 1/8 discs
1/16 X 1/32 discs
1/16 X 1/8 cylinders

i have used the cylinders by drilling flying stems and inserting them to being flush. and in conjunction use either of the smaller discs under a BFG escort.

some people has been using them on the new carnifex biomorphs.

and the metric sized ones, take a couple pieces of plasticard and stick to one side of the magnet and then glue that to the bottom of a base and they work perfest for magnetizing bases for display boards with washers in the board like in the black gobbo article.

i have heard of people magnetizing the plastic terminator arms to swap between CC termies and tactical termies.

My favorites are:

They are much cheaper than K&J, and they are great for metal fantasy models.

[orcdom]

thanks alot for that link, they are pretty cheap.

i want to get some more, mainly to magnetize my bases for fantasy, i am thinking of mounting all my fantasy on metal trays in tool boxes and tackle boxes.

and using metal lined movement trays. Micromark sells a paper thin metal sheet i can line movement trays with, either that or just make them from metal.
