Im Not Buying A $45 Modle And Not Getting All The Use That I Can Out Of It. The Only Way I Could Do This Can Be Summed Up In One Word "magnets". The Heart And Soul Of Every Tyranid Army Is Its Ability To Mutate And Change According To What/who They Are Fighting. I Was Looking For A Way To Change My Carni And Persionalise It For Every Battle. I Stumbled On To A Web Site Called Amazingmagnets.com. I Purchased Some Small Rare Earth Magnets And Bam!!! The Amazing Mutating Carnifex Was Born.

The Only Plastic Parts I Glued Togeather Are The Legs Body And Tail. Here Is The Way I Attached The Magnets To The Carni. First I Took A Drill Bit That Was Sized To The Magnet. I Drilled In To The Plastic Just Enough So The Magnet Was Partly Sticking Out. Then Using Green Stuff I Attached The Other Magnet To The Scything Talon, Venom Cannon, Ect.(drilling In To The Apendage Did Not Work Well). Magnetizing The Tail Weeapon Was More Difficult, What I Did Was Drilled A Whole Into The Bottom Of The End Of The Tail And Using Super Glue To Set The Magnet. Once The Glue Dried I Covered Up The Whole With The Magnet In It With Green Stuff. Doing It This Way Makes Sure I Did Not Damage The Tail (just In Case I Didn't Want To Use A Tail Weapon). Puting The Magnet Into The Tail Weapon Its Self I Just Drilled And Glued.


If Anyone Has Any Thoughts On How I Could Do This Better Please Respond.

And yes, I agree with horsey- type without the constant capitalization.

They do look nice :)
Are the magnets all that strong or do they just fall off when your playing?
