Magnetizing Your Tyrannofex & Tervigon Base

For optimal stability and transport, magnetizing the base of your Tyrannofex or Tervigon is essential. Choose from these base magnetization options:

 

Flush-Fit Base Magnets for Games Workshop Bases

For Flush-Fit Basing Magnets, use the Large Thick 6mm x 2.6mm magnets. You will want 1 or 2 of these depending on how strong your metal display tray or transport case is. These magnets fit perfectly into the recessed holes in official GW bases.

Pre-Magnetized Replacement Bases

For a replacement base with built-in magnet holes, use the Bases with Magnets. These bases come ready to accept flush-fit magnets without any drilling required.

Self-Adhesive Magnets for Third-Party Bases

To magnetize a 3rd party flat-bottomed base, use the self-adhesive magnets. These flexible magnets work perfectly for resin or custom bases. Note: These are not compatible with Games Workshop original bases due to the recessed bottom design.

With your Tyrannofex and Tervigon fully magnetized, you'll have the flexibility to adapt your Tyranids army list for any battle without needing multiple models.

Super Glues

A variety of super glues for a variety of reasons. Here's a quick overview about the specific uses of each of our super glues.

 

Before getting to any one adhesive, we chose to carry this glue brand for a reason. It is the only one that can hold the strongest N52 Neodymium Super Magnets that we carry reliably. We could have gone with a number of different brands but this one worked better.

 

Maxi-Cure Plus Super Glue

This is a standard super glue with reasonable work and cure times. A little bit of gap filling goes a long way when magnetizing.

Insta-Set Accelerant

Not an adhesive, this is a spray that cures the Maxi-Cure within a few seconds.

Not compatible with Super Gold, and Insta-Cure contains some Insta-Set already.

[Buy Product=instaset-instant-cure-superglue-spray,Variant=All]

Want to put a tiny drop of Insta-Set right where you need it? Use the droppers to put just the right amount of Insta-Set right on the glue joint without spraying the hole model.

Precision Dropper for Insta-Set

[Buy Product=insta-set-precision-dropper,Variant=All]

Insta-Cure

This is a super quick cure time, it has some of the accelerant in the formula so it is a little looser but quick incredibly fast.

[Buy Product=insta-cure-1,Variant=All]

Super Gold

Colorless, odorless, and a little slower to cure, this CA glue is just as strong as the others but is the best for clear plastics and glass for a no-fog super glue. This is a premium glue and is a little slower to cure than the others. Not compatible with Insta-Set, it will heat up, still take a while to cure, and then fog. If you want fast acting go with the other glues we carry.

Epoxy

This is a 2-part epoxy adhesive, best for when you have big magnets in big projects. Think 18mm magnets or larger.

[Buy Product=epoxy-5-minute-extra-strong,Variant=All]

Super Glue Caps

These are compatible with any of the 1/2oz, 1oz, or 2oz bottles but not the 8oz or Epoxy bottles of glue, not compatible with Insta-Set.

 [Buy Product=glue-caps-spare-superglue-caps,Variant=All]

Green Stuff

When you just need some time and a lot of material to fill a space where you want a magnet, mix up a pinch of the blue and yellow and show a magnet into it.

Good Magnet Gluing Practices:

If you are gluing a magnet into a hole there should be plenty of surface area to hold it in with glue.

If you are gluing a magnet to a smooth surface, very lightly sand or scuff the surface of the magnet and the gluing surface.

Try to keep finger oils to a minimum on the magnets and destination surfaces as these can reduce the effectiveness of adhesives.
