So, I've been away from the WH world for a good eight years or so, but recently started building a Chaos Space Marines army. Things were going well, I've got a simple color scheme I like down, the beautiful (well, horrendous, but still) Daemon Prince of Nurgle model, my first squad of marines, which im almost done painting, and a squad of plague marines. The plan is, finish this by the end of the weekend, then buy the $175 army starter kit and be gaming by month's end.
Hit a minor snafu, turns out my plague marines, wonderful models that they are, refuse to be glued together, even with the superglue GW recommends for gluing together their metal models. Is my glue defective? Am I potentially doing something wrong? I set up two models this afternoon, used twist ties to hold the arms on, and took a five hour nap. When I woke up the glue was still wet for 3 of the arms! They hadn't stuck at all, with the exception of the one arm that did stay on. I've been trying to get these together all day, since I'm 3 models away from not having anything else to paint. If I try gluing them again and it doesn't work I'm beginning to think the urge to throw them out the window will become to strong. Advice? Alternate methods for attachment? Wizards or blacksmiths willing to aid me in my troubles? All are welcome to contribute.
