Magnetizing Baal Predator: Turret

The Baal Predator turret has two options, a Twin-Linked Assault Canon capable of Rending a Vehicles Armour and A Flamestorm Canon capable of Frying Enemies with no Cover Saves.

There are several procedures need to be done to be able to magnetize the Baal Predator's Turret.


Magnetizing the Turret's Back

Each option comes with an equivalent back attachment, Box of Bullets for the Assault Cannon and Gas Tanks for the Flamestorm Canon.
First, I drilled holes for the magnet on the raised areas which is meant to be a connector for the turret and back option
Using the newly magnetize turret I dry-fitted the ammo box option in order to put the correct magnet polarization inside the part.
For the gas tanks I used the recessed areas as a guide to where to drill, then putting two magnets on the turret for the correct polarization and applied super glue on the drilled parts

Magnetizing the Weapon Options

In order to be able to swap out the weapon options a part of the turret cover must be cut out
As seen here, there are protruding parts in the weapon options that can hinder the option to swap weapon options
I cut off a piece of sprue and drilled holes in them corresponding to the holes in the turret, this will act as a support area for the magnets
Then on the equivalent end of the weapon options, I also drilled holes for where to place the magnets and used the same trick as above to place the magnets correctly

Until the next time, see you!
