The Chaos Space Marines Defiler is a daemon engine that loves variety. Between its torso-mounted main gun, twin secondary weapon, and pair of close combat arms, the kit offers more loadout permutations than most Chaos vehicles. Magnetizing it means you can run anti-tank one game and a close combat brawler the next without buying or building a second model.
Below are our recommendations for magnetizing the Defiler kit, plus base magnet options and a few related Chaos Space Marines guides.

Defiler Kit Weapon Options
The Defiler kit gives you several swap points worth magnetizing:
- Torso main weapon: battle cannon or reaper autocannon — the big swap that defines the model's role each game.
- Twin secondary weapon: twin lascannon, twin heavy bolter, or twin heavy flamer mounted under the torso gun.
- Close combat arms: scourge claws or defiler claws on each arm, swappable independently so you can mix and match.
Magnetizing all three swap points keeps every weapon option from the box on the table, which is the whole reason most hobbyists pick up a daemon engine kit in the first place.
Base Magnets
The Defiler sits on a 160mm round base. Use 3 of our 6mm x 2mm N52 neodymium disc magnets spaced in a triangle inside the base for a secure hold inside a metal-lined magnetic miniature case. If you use self-adhesive flexible magnet sheeting as your case liner, use 5–6 magnets per base instead.

For a peel-and-stick option with no drilling, use 4 of our 25mm Peel & Stick Inner Base Magnets spaced evenly inside the base.

If you would rather skip the basing step entirely, the 160mm round base from our Bases with Magnets range ships with magnet holes drilled and magnets already locked in place.
