Many say it will just break of
Is that true?

Eventually.
It happened to 3 out of 5 my models yet.
I actually am quite careless with my models though, but the attach point is rather thin.

It happened to one of my raiders, when somebody got mad during a game and overthrew the entire table in the air (that dude is not coming to play WH40k anytime soon at my house again).

The only thing that broke in my entire army was that sail. And it was incredibly easy to glue back. I can't describe the relief i felt.

It's always glue-able. If it was a requirement to magnetize anything that was likely to break, I would have to magnetize my entire army!

WTF Mppqlmd!? Flipped your table? Shiiit I made a friend in highschool replace my bong when he accidentally kicked it...

As far as the sail, I just dont glue mine. They pop in and out easy enough, still waiting for it to break off in the hole though lol.

Yup. A lot of people come and play the game at my place (I built 2 big tables and all the terrains are stored here), and some behave little total dicks.
Sportsmanship is not mandatory to play the game apparently.

They are easy to magnetize. I did the sails and front gun on all my raiders.

The tantalus was an altogether different problem. The sail is too heavy compared to the joint. On that one I clipped off the stem and replaced it with brass tube of the same size. You could probably do the same on raiders/ravagers if you wanted.

When I was in my teens I had a mate that used to get frustrated and he would throw a dice at my head...now if he had flipped a table, I would have given him a slap!

I feel your pain Mpp, I've only ever had one guy flip my table and due to the repercussions, no one has again...it could also be because I don't deal with that nonsense.

Anyway I haven't magnetised at all, slightly sanded down the stem and it fits snugly enough to just sit there when playing, never an issue.

If it will break - you need to drill sail and connection point, insert part of paper clip in connection point hole on raider, and set it on super glue. Then glue again sail itself with plastic glue and super glue on top of paper clip.

In fact - thats the method of choice on any not so reliable 40k connections on models. It can also be used when you want to pin your model to a custom base. I used it to connect Wyches to custom bases, because i didnt have the option of using that plastic bar that is under their legs.
