Hi Guys,
I prefer the removeable-type weapons...
My friend Chern prefers permanently-mounted ones.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I'm about to finish up my titans and I was wondering; do the majority of the people glue them on or just attache them so they can be changed out? |

Personally I don't do the glue thing, the plastic 'brackets' seem quite sufficient to hold any weapons in place however they do get a bit more 'banged up' that way. I guess this stems from ye olde dayes when a hit to a weapon could be easily represented by removing the weapon. |

Hi! There was once an article somewhere on how to use magnets to make the weapons interchangeable. Its a VERY good solution to this. Primarch |

None of my titans have weapons glued on permanently. I like being able to change the weapons. I do have favorite waepons, but sometimes I like to try different combinations. I use a putty-like substance to hold the metal weapons in place. Unfortunately, my Corvus assault pod is too heavy to be held in place  , but all the other wepaons stay in place pretty well.

I agree, Maksim has been playing with small magnets in his force. I have seen others do it with their minis. If you think you would like to mix and match, then do magnets. If you have a combo you like a lot and do not see yourself changing much, then glue them in place. dafrca |

I'm a gluer, but that's mainly because of weirdo conversions.

I'm a gluer as well. I usually try to pose my models a bit dynamically which often means attaching the weapons differently than intended by the sculptor. Cheers!

It depends on the weapons I guess. My arm mounted weapons normally are glued becuase they are metal. Top mounted ones normally are not. But then I have so many titans. I haven't found the need to change the weapons

Thanks guys okay if i was to use magnets which ones do i get. I've seen an article in WD using earth magnets on 28mm figures; Is that good for titan weapons? |

Glue! Makes the models seem 'whole' if you know what I mean, more of a model in their own right and less of a playing piece. |

Yep glue - if you need a different configuration buy a new titan ?Aint that right Primarch  Mind you, I have in the past changed bio-titan, phantom and gargant weapon configs... just rip the old gun off carefully, clean up the join and carefully paint the new one good as new... Obviously with this technique I don't change weapon configurations if I can help it!  |

I believe that is what Maksim is using. I have not tried it myself yet. dafrca |

Not yet tried on Titan weapons, but strong earth magnets used on BFG ships work very well. You should have a look at K&J site: http://www.kjmagnetics.com/ The discs D1Y1 or (probably better, especially for metal weapons) D2Y1 should be good ones for your purpose. |

Definately glue. It gives the Titan a personality and narrative through lots of games. |
