I am using a piece of sprue as a stick painted half red half blue and a magnet glued on each side. Red=hot is weapon side, blue is body side.used this method to magnetize all of titanicus models I built. Thanks for the red paint scheme, looks good.
Similar here, except I made my PoDiVer (Polarity Direction Verifier) out of 3mm mdf bases of different sizes (starting at 40mm at the base and narrowing to 20mm at the top), arranged a bit like a ziggurat. I then glued a magnet in the centre of the top and bottom layers, aligned in the same direction. With this contraption the way "up" is obvious, and it's easy to find on the work table.
Beautiful job, I love it. Easiest way to magnetize is to make a "magnet stick": Use a short bamboo skewer and glue a magnet on each end. Make sure that you glue one with the positive outwards and the negative outward on the other, then color code each end to easily see which you have. I use red for the north (body side) and blue for the south (limb side). Makes picking up one magnet at a time easy, lets you just squish it into the hole and side-swipe away Only a minute to make the stick, then you'll get the polarity correct every time.
Something I found is that having one guy who is the "standard magnet reference" is really handy. Their whole job is to be the model you use to glue magnets into other models/bits
Thanks for the “tiered” paint scheme. Helps when batch painting to know I can get the characters done at the same time but still have some next steps for taking it further.
Absolutely love Puppets War. I got all the samurai parts and made my own white scar successor chapter with them. I didn't magnetise the parts but I did do it on the samurai backpack banners. This was great because if you knock/drop them the magnet connection comes apart rather than the resin snapping. Also I used the same technique as you to magnetise them.
I'm currently magnetising my Chaos Knights - my first attempt I got the polarity wrong and had the big claw shoot across the room! I found some magnets online rather have a dimple on the North face that helped allot
I think a budget dry brushing video could be useful, I can't afford any of the Artis opus stuff so have been making doo with old makeup brushes and tissue paper. Not really sure what a texture palette or dampening sponge actually are, or how to proxy them
If your UK pound land make up brushes are awsome as are there synthetic in art section as for a drybush get a cheap cut of mdf Opus stuff is awsome but if you haven't got the budget I totally get it and these options are a thing!!! 😊😊❤
@@thepaintingphase oh, only now checking it, I messed that up. The cyber hounds I‘m referring to are from Artel W. I am sorry ☹️ Was so sure to have noticed Woofy‘s face in the spot
You don't need to paint the magnet every time, just paint the first magnet on the other side. As long as you know which side is negative you know which side is positive and vice versa...
I have been dying to buy the STLs for the American Indian Space Marine heads they have. (They prefer to say Native, but on behalf of myself and my family we prefer to say Indian.) I think they'd be perfect for White Scars.
The problem with magnetisation is the amount of fiddly parts you have to paint. Holding the helmet in your hands and dry brushing it? Parts flying off while painting? No thanks! Cool mini though nice job.
Random question for Peachy: for your battle ready Death Guard tutorial, how would you improve the models to push them a little further, e.g what highlights would you use? Thank you
The "stick one magnet in, put one on top, glue in place and slide off" is the most reliable way I've found doing them. But I stick with very simple magnetizing like secondary weapons on tanks that aren't too heavy for the usual smaller magnets. Individual characters and infantry just don't work for me, too flimsy.
I honestly love the minis but have yet to buy one. This will likely change as like many of us I'm starting to look at alts to gw as for magnetised minis I've done a combo of mk3 iron armour and a a devastator squad every weapon option best part of 2 weeks and they have remained in my pile of shame for well when the hh box set came out 6-7 years ago 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like a few ships or flotilla mix of scars and fists go through the warp end up in time delay shenanigans and make a hybrid chapter as for them it's been like 3000 years but jump a month forward in real-time 😂😂😂

Nice method for magnetising 🙌
Wth why didn't I think of making a polarity tool ❤

oh my god "my favorite historical character". I was thinking "Tom Cruise, Last Samurai" and there you nailed it so casually Thomas Cruise!
Sweet glad you talked about this company
Beautiful job, I love it.

Thanks for turning me on to Puppets War, love all the options and that they come with magnets. That's brillant! Keep up the great content as always
I was literally playing around with some options in chitubox this evening trying to figure out what the weapon options would look like lol.
Thanks for the “tiered” paint scheme. Helps when batch painting to know I can get the characters done at the same time but still have some next steps for taking it further.
Thanks, glad you found it helpful
love the painting videos with Peachy look forward to seeing more of the same soon

I have reference magnets glued to my pegboard at my hobby desk. So that I get it the same direction on all my minis 🙂.
Now that is playing 3d chess! ♟️
Puppetswar are great for bitz and custom chapter options (like the samurai heads). As for magnetising - I have a very similar approach.
I love the heads they have too offer need too get a bastion carthalos miniature though for a head swap .
Great video. I love Puppetswar models
Love the videos that are painting videos with an added concept! Your models always look so amazing!

Nice grav claw 😂
Very cool customisation options, also definitely picking up some of that Ak bronze 👌.
That red is hella crispy 👌
thank you very much
i used puppetswar jump pack guys in my raven guard and they look awesome

Love it! A suggestion for PuppetsWar Ads, show they robot dogs, they have those Panzerhund-lookalikes from Wolfenstein that look just amazing!
Ooh I’ll be checking them out for sure

I like the idea of magnetising. I just don't like to do it, its so fiddly.
Your favourite samurai isn't Sean Bean?!?
Hahaha! Alas I’ve yet to see him play that role lol
Will there be a video of all the new techniques that you guys are now using for dry brushing ?

First Nations, is what we prefer actually.

Cool, what size magnitz?
What's the song that began around 07:00?
instead of painting the magnet you could try sharpie =O
👌👌👌
Nice! I just didn’t have on e at hand at the time
FOR THE ALGORITHM
😘😘😘
Matrix Oreos must taste like chicken

Sadly I don't like Puppetswar's style for anything other than choice helmets. XS Love what they do, just wish it looked different.
Gundam spacemarine?

I've personally never liked PuppetsWar's "Marines" Too starcrafty for my tastes.
