Another point on super-glue, if you just want to hold something temporarily (stick a part to an old sprue off-cut for painting), I use the cheap stuff, as cheap as I can find. I use an old piece of plastic conduit and put the super-glue on that, then use a metal dentist pick to get a tiny amount to apply to one surface (I never apply super glue from the tube to my pieces), then do the hold it tight for 25 seconds. This gives a good enough bond to allow me to handle the sprue while painting, but also allows me to snap it off when done. I use long(ish) sprue off-cuts, as the longer they are the easier to use a lever action to snap the super glue bond.

I use staples, flatten them out with some plyers/grips then use them as pins to be super-gluded, drill a hole in the item apart from shoulder pads, I glue them inside the pad. As the staple is thin, it's easy to snap off, pull out and you can cut them in half and double up, 10 staples, 20 items. I then stick them into wine bottle corks. You can re-use the pin to pin arms and heads to the body if needed.

I think the Wolf Priest is going to have to join my collection. I'm keeping my fingers (and wallet) crossed for Wolf Guard Terminators.

Bit of a shame about the shotguns, they just don't really look like shotguns - if you said they were just a rifle of some sort, then I'd think yeah nice, bit different. Also the shell ejection ports on all of these weapons look too small of the size of cartridge/shell they take.

Liking the new melee weapon options - give me axes and hammers everyday of the week!

TitH - I finished building my SW Terminators with some extra Primal Hounds bits and first-born Thunder Hammer

I've used these in the past, they're posable wire not resin: https://www.zinge.co.uk/products/poseable-wire-wrapped-cable-power-cable-6-various-diameters-1mm-1-3mm-1-5mm-1-7mm-1-9mm-2-4mm I think the 1mm would be fine

That axe is way too nice for a boy in Blue. Might have to get one to wolf it up. - seriously lush models though!

TITH I finished building 2 more Primal Hounds (plus other 3rd party bits) Termies:

Nice clean work here, I am loving the wolf's coats, nice colours there.

Ah thanks! Yeah that Wulfen Axe suits the pose so we'll, really pleased with how it came out. Just need to finish painting it!

When you say sticking together, that sounds a bit odd, as once the paint is 100% dry, the bits shouldn't stick, yeah they will rub, but not stick. Maybe try some matt varnish from a pot, add a few well thinned coats and let it dry for a few days.

Bit of progress on another Primal Hounds Termie.

TITH I started to assemble my Primal Hounds bits Terminator strangling a Tyranid Guant, still need to add the front claws once I have the pads on the Termie in place. Not sure if I'll make him look dead or trying to fight his way out of the choke-hold.

I convert everything, even down to 3rd party bits, they get converted too. But for me it would be the new SW Logan Grimnar, it's pretty much too perfect so I won't buy it, cause it will mock me with its perfection.
