Tiger Shark Magnetization Recommendations

The T'au Tiger Shark and its larger AX-1-0 variant are Forge World super-heavy flyers with swappable wing-mounted weapon pods. Magnetizing the wing hardpoints lets you swap between burst cannon, missile pod, and ion cannon loadouts without committing to a single build, and the AX-1-0 nose turret takes the same treatment. The notes below cover the flight stand, base, and magnet sizes we recommend.

Flight Stand

The Tiger Shark is heavy and front-weighted, so a sturdy flight stand matters. Use the Mega Large Flat Magnetic Flight Stand for a stable platform that holds the model securely during transport and play.

Base and Transport

For a replacement base with preset magnet holes that prevent magnets from popping off, use the 160mm round base with magnets.

For a peel-and-stick basing option, place 4 of the 25mm Peel & Stick Inner Base Magnets evenly inside the base — no drilling required.

To secure the base in a magnetic transport case, use 4-5 6mm x 2mm disc magnets.
