Ok what I want to do to right know to save some cash is to take make an inter locking manor of first of drilling some small holes in the weapon and the hull of a sentinel and gluing pins in it and so I could swap weapons in-between games (for example facing a opponent that is the light infantry based than in the next game that night opponent a more tank heavy opponent were more of a tank hunter is needed) any ideas on if it would work ?

Yeah, it would work, depends on how you work it.
Toy around with the sucker and try to fit it.

Otherwise you can use magnets, one on the sentinel hull and one on each weapon (just make sure the poles are correct or they will reject each other lol)

Magnets all the way!!
Very useful for units like sents, vyperjetbikes...and every unit which can choose different weapons...

yes. magnets. do that. for the sentinels, the Lascannon and Multilaser acutally just stick on with no need to glue. i think the flamer does that too. correct me if i'm wrong at all.
But, yeah, magnets are your best friends.

Yup flamer does it too.
It sounds like a fun project...

Small enough magnets are hard to find though........... they can be quite expensive too, although if you have some, I'm all for this idea.

That would be a great idea! These light walkers benefit from versitility, and being stuck with one weapon or having to proxy it isn't much fun. I wish I had used magnet-weapons on my 4 tau crisis suits...

Crises suits are way too small for magnets, pinning works though.

Nope, you can cut small bits of magnet on
It's akward but it works...kind of. Somewhat. Ish.

Oh phhhttt i was too lazy to do it, but there were some articles on it. Plus, it helps that all 4 of my freinds i play against most often play MEQs. Plasma does the trick just fine.

back on topic a bit: Using a small magnet and a pin works as well as two magnets.
do a google search for "rare earth magnets." they have TINY magnets that are priced very reasonably

eBay always has sellers offering rare earth mag's in the mini-hobby section for just this purpose
