Done magnetizing the Wraithlords

Ordered some magnets last weekend , and they arrived in around 3 days. So been working on magnetizing my Wraithlords and after a lot of work I'm finally done. (I'll have pictures up once I've found the cable for the camera)

Magnetized the right arm on them all, and also all other weapon upgrade options. So now I can field them with WYSIWYG, which is pretty important for me. Personally I don't like proxying or count as'ing my models, as the visual element of the hobby is extremely important. This is also why I prefer having nice looking terrain instead of books or some such.

I also magnetized my space marine captain/chapter master, which also turned out amazing. Got all weapon upgrades that came in the box magnetized and ready to be painted. The smaller magnets struggles to hold the combimelta in place but other than that it all works great. Its nice being able to change poses and wargear on the models.

The rest of the Eldar army is soon ready to get primed and ready for painting. It will take a while to get the army painted though, but as long as it turns out nicely I don't mind.

I'm still waiting for my P.A.C.K 1520 which hopefully arrives this week. The cities of death terrain pieces have yet to be posted, but I'm hoping to get them here before Christmas. I'd also need to get the Eldrad and Yriel models, as I plan on converting Eldrad to Iyanna Arienal and Yriel is really needed in a Iyanden army.
