Magnetizing a Black Templar Land Speeder


Just finished this guy up this week as part of a bigger commission. Nothing fancy, the paint scheme matches the way the rest of the force was painted (it's not my current dark method).

I've got another one (land speeder) coming up for a DIY Chapter. It's been a nice change of pace to paint up these models instead of painting another Space Hulk Terminator or building yet another Bloodthirster.

I've still got to add the grass to the base but I won't do that until after it's been varnished.


I did take the time and magnetise the model to it's stand. A fairly easy process and it helps with transporting. Besides, the flying stands they give us just doesn't hold up to the rigors of game play.
The tutorial for magnetizing can be found here.

Here are a couple shots of the process as it relates to land speeders.



Drilling the hole for the screw and then flaring out the opening so I can sink the screw head down into the body of the speeder. Remember to use a flat faced screw and not a rounded one!



Ready to go on its new base.
