I'm going to pick up some magnetic sheets before Guardcon and people can pick them up there.

I will also decanter some metal paint for anyone that wants it. The tins are 1 Litre for $60, so I guess $6 for 100ml plus cost of the container (whatever I can find for under $2)
100ml is probably enough to do one skaven army or two Elf armies.
Note: pots are 200ml

Post your interest here.


These sheets are about $12.50 each about 1200 x 600 (I'm guessing)
I won't be getting extras so, Speak now or whatever

Phil - 1 sheet
Chaoswolf - 1 sheet, 1 pot
Rasputin - 2 sheets.
Aaron - 1 pot
Tuatara - 1 sheet

Are the sheets sticky on one side or just plain?

They are self adhesive.
The adhesive is on the side that you stick to your Base (or model) I guess they figured it'd be a bit dumb to put it on the magnetic side  Grin

Two pots of metal paint (assuming this is something that has magnetic properties that I can harness by simply painting the bases I want magnets to stick too) and 1 sheet of magnetic please!

I'll use Phil as collatoral, do with him as you please shoudl I fail to pay.

Hey guys... think fridge magnet, like the real estate sticks in your letter box.
Now think really big fridge magnet...
Yes its flexible, you can wrap it round your legs and arms and say 'Hey look I'm a storm trooper!"
You can, I wouldn't do that

The pots are approx 200ml so $12 each.
There are only 4 pots, 2 have been sold.

This is a sweet deal boys to magnetise your army or multiple. I've used this method for all my miniatures so ask at GuardCon and I'll do a show n tell.

@Chaoswolf

You can only use me as collateral if you bribe me with alcoholic drinks. That is if you have enough time as you pick up the trampled bodies of your frail Daemons Wink ...erm That was my High Elf army stealing my voice cough cough.

side note, celebrate, celebrate, I run out of bandwidth and the connection slows down to a crawl and it finally lets me back on the forums. CG forums not compatible with jetstream I'm guessing??

 Grin Fortunately that nightmare scenario did not come to be!

Derick,
Thankyou sir, a scholar and a gentlemen, and I look forward to putting some of this product to good use. If I need more I may need your assistance at future events!

Cheers,

Dan

Remember, with that metal paint, to use 2 generous coats.
Its metal paint, not metal.
Easier to apply but doesn't have exactly the same properties as metal... does not have the same strength of attraction as unadulturated metal. In other words, just don't go tipping your bases upside down Smiley
Works fine for horde armies like Skaven.
