Default Magnets (I need some help)

Edit: Sorry, wrong board, I'll flag this.

I recently begged, bought and stole some strong, rare-earth magnets. I am looking for some suggestions on how to use them.

Here is somethnig for scale:



As you can see, they are quite big.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Songblade

What'd you do to that poor Tau? And where'd you steal those magnets from?

I'd suggest using them on Vehicles, since those are too big for anything else really.

The Tau..offended me....

The magnets....were holding a life support machine together..

Your suggestion...excellent, I was considering using them on a Hammerhead.

I think there's someone else on the forums that tried that awhile back. It was the same guy that was obsessed with LED lights for his tank weapons.

Wonder what happened to him anyway....

Crazy dread-hammer.

Col Angus, why do you keep just quoting people and posting it?

Doesn't it just come with an extra turret in the Skyray kit?

Maybe put them on the front where the sensors are. Then hack off a burst cannon at the first ring and use magnets so you can use one chasis for all the tanks.

Or do Ion/Rail turret.

I believe there actually was one person (not on TO) that actually pulled it off that I've heard of.

Here's a topic on how to make a a tank that switches between all 3 (Hammerhead, Devilfish and Skyray and now the topic title says Piranha...)

http://forums.tauonline.org/index.php?topic=12647.0

Too big for Crisis suits, that is the only thing I think you could use them for.
