kombatwombat Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 ...reserved for whoever put sprue gates in the hollows of Warriors’ cheeks. Any advice for a newbie to Necrons on how to clean those out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I wish there was an easy way. It's a huge pain. I basically use a hobby knife to recut the cheeks every time. Some people have had luck with curved files but I haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Welcome to the tombs, kombatwombat! GW’s hobby scraper and an Exacto knife with a small blade. The best way to deal with it is to just carefully scrape it until it’s gone, or you can’t see it. And eventually, so long as you get enough of it out, it really doesn’t matter. They’re warriors. In the end, they’re chattel (as far as models go). Don’t worry about them too much. They’re the only models we have with that issue, so build a couple squads then go Mechrons or Immortals if you want. I agree, though, it’s one of the most annoying aspects of building a Necron army. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yeah, I discovered the same thing now long ago... Seriously... Why? You know what? I used some weird curved carving blades a LONG time ago. I wonder if they would work. By curved I mean the cutting surface is bade to sort of scoop material out. IDK... I can totally see how somebody might not get what I mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombatwombat Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 That’s where I’m at - alternating between scraping and using a curved file, it’s a nightmare! Thanks for the responses, I’ll just plod along. I thought 48 was going to be a pain, but then a kind mate of mine went “oh you’re starting Necrons? I’ve got 24 extra warriors I won’t use, here you go!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yeah. That's exactly how ended up doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
