Baneblades have two main turret options and two side sponson options I believe. Is it possible to magnetize these so that I can change the tank to the configuration that I want? I magnetized my Tau Crisis suit weapons and that went well and I would feel bad about dropping $95 for a model and permanetly gluing it to one option. Thank you.

Sure, I don't see why not.
Do a Google search; I'm sure I've seen a few documented cases of this very project floating around in various places.
Honestly, it shouldn't be much harder than magnetizing a Leman Russ, I'd think.

i magnatize my crisis suits aswell.
most importantly the main difference is the size of magnet you need to use.
i would suggest a size that can only just fit into the place where you want it.
like with the target lock on my crisis suit, the magnet only just fits in it, and the multi tracker the same.

I bought a Banblade from ebay that had the turret pre-magnetized.
Seems the guy has used magnets which are the same diameter as the turret, and just stuck them onto the appropriate bits - seems to do the trick as far as swapping the main gun goes
Now I just have to work out what I'm doing with the rest of the more shoddy conversions which have been done on it - I'm sure I'll figure out something

lol, i ussually do not buy models that are more tha undercoated.
i prefer not assembled aswell, but this world is not perfect is it.
but thats basicly the idea i was going with my magnetized suit, mainly so it didnt look off when i put things onto him.

yeah. thats y i dont like to buy stuff second hand - you usually hve to undercoat it again, by which time there is very little detail left on the model.
It's fine - the baneblade itself is pretty much just basecoated with a colour scheme that I can work with - the defiler arms growing out of the side of it are easily fixed - as is the bright pink imperial tank commander stood on the back of it.
When I finally get round to sorting it out - I'll print some before and after photo's!
The reason I got it was that of the models it came with, other than the Baneblade there is only one other plastic model painted - the rest is just undercoated and all the painted metal models I can strip and repaint with a decent paintjob.
Then there's the Chaos terminator with the Orc head - but we won't go there!
I think the crappy painting put people off though cos I got about £4-500 worth of stuff for £120 - well worth it in my book
