How to Magnetize an XV25 Stealth Suit.


You will need:
  • One XV25 Stealth Suit (the model you plan on using for the Team Leader)
  • Two 1/16" x 1/32" Rare Earth Magnets
  • A Pin-vise and a 1/16" drill bit
  • Super Glue
  • Some paint and something to make a small dot

Step 1
Assemble the Stealth Suit as you would, but do not glue on either weapon option.
Step 2
Use the technique showed in the video to find out where you should put your magnets
Step 3
Insert magnets, making sure the polarity is correct, and flatten with your finger or a sculpture tool.
Step 4
Repeat on the next weapon system.

just something to point out, you don't need a team leader to have a fusion blaster, if you have 3 models, then anyone of them, but only 1 of them, can have a fusion blaster, if you have 6 models in a squad, then you can have 2 fusion blasters.

r you kiding teh music is the best.even if it was low you must get distracted by Queen thier sooooo good BWT great Vid

The music in the background is a distraction. When doing video's the music should be very low key and not distracting.

Otherwise, the presentation of the information is very well done. Explaining the size of the magnets and drill size, etc is very well represented.

The use of the paint to dot the magnet to it all lines up is an excellent tip to share. When I do projects around the house, I use lipstick, but the magnets and mini's are too small. So bravo on showing how to use the paint for the same purpose.

Good job and keep it up. The community needs tutorials like this.

p.s.
And the Loctite glue is crap (that particular formula). After about 4 months, it fails to continue to bond. But you might have had different results with it.

Perfect! Just what I was looking for! I will follow your guide piece by piece. I use the same glue anyway

to warpetrie- its useful if you need to do some tank bustin. Great tutorial man.
WarPetrie (Over a year ago):
good idea but i don't see the fusion blaster worth it because only the shas ui can have once so you loose 2" of range and an extra shot but eh good tutorial ^_^
