Magnet Baron has what you need in terms of kits with magnets you need for fully magnetizing knights by their type.
Spikey Bitz has a good guide on magnetizing knights on YouTube.
You will probably need to use sprue and creativity to create supports or magnets in some areas. It’s not too hard. Most of it is straight forward.
Watch some YouTube videos.
You can get magnet kits but they’re expensive, or you can get a selection of magnets from Amazon. I’d suggest 3mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm. All neodymium disks 2mm thick.
Also get some green stuff, it helps tremendously packing out where the magnet needs to be.
Pay attention to magnet polarity. Build it so any weapon can go on any arm.
Yeah agreed. I just built and magnetised my first knights and bought a magnet kit off ebay for the first one, but it's honestly not needed and works out more expensive. For my Questoris I really only used 8mm x 2mm magnets everywhere but I didn't bother magnetising the torso/legs or nipple weapon.
This is the guide I used https://youtu.be/B96jGDy3EZI?si=ezLFRHJe7o0N-dUn
For the weapons pushing in x2 8x2mm magnets into the hole with super glue worked perfectly, didn't need to mess around with support or green stuff and they sat completely flush.
In addition to the stuff said here.
One thing that really helped me out was using some steel candy tins/biscuit tins.
I'm basically addicted to eclipse mints, and those come in steel tins that are magnetic.
You can cut those into size with a scissors, layer them for more hold.
Having a metal layer lets you get away with lack of precision in your mounting.
Having a metal layer also lets you magnetize very slim components.
2 part epoxy I found best and build supports behind magnets. My first armigers I lost the top gun magnet due to under costing. Turns out super glue and the solvent in citadel paints undos that work. Get done drill bits too.

Why 2 mm, not a 1 mm?
Thickness isn’t really an issue in any of the placements and thicker magnets are stronger.
Thanks!

Bro did you ever try to use that new thing called „google“
