The Avenger Strike Fighter is a Forge World ground-attack flyer for the Astra Militarum, built to hunt armour and infantry with a heavy nose weapon and underwing pylons. Magnetizing it lets you swap between the avenger bolt cannon, twin lascannon, and autocannon nose plates, then mix in lascannons or missile launchers on the wing pylons without committing to one loadout.
Nose & Pylon Weapon Swaps
Magnetize the nose plate so the avenger bolt cannon, twin lascannon, and autocannon are interchangeable. Each option is a flat insert behind the cockpit, so a single pair of small flush-fit magnets at the front and rear of the plate keeps them aligned and flush.
For the underwing pylons, magnetize each pylon to the wing and each weapon (lascannon or missile pod) to the pylon. That two-stage swap lets you run any pylon/weapon combination per side without re-cutting parts.

Flight Stand Options
The Avenger Strike Fighter is a large flyer and needs a tall, stable stand. Use the Extra Large Flat - Tall Magnetic Flight Stand to seat the model securely.

To magnetize the base to a magnetic transport case, use either 1 Large Thick Flush-Fit 6mm x 2.6mm if you transport the model separately or 2 if you transport the model on the base.

For a base with magnet that has preset holes and magnets, use the 120mm oval.

For a peel-and-stick basing option, use 3 of the 25mm Peel & Stick Inner Base Magnets spaced in a triangle inside the base — no drilling required.
