These tactical marines were rescued from what can only be described as a thick double dip in red paint.

They were also assembled with hot glue.

They will now join the ranks of my Iron Hands project.

What psychopath uses hot glue for miniatures??

There’s a lot of people who have never worked on miniatures before and don’t know any better.

My father was into wargaming and model building, so I had a good resource available to me as a kid. Not everyone has that.

Not sure, but I have two landraiders put together the same way.

They literally fell apart when I stripped the paint off them.

As someone who has spent a fair bit of time recently stripping and repairing a few eBay baragins, I admire your dedication.

Thanks, most of the stuff I work with these days is secondary market (ebay, Kijiji, marketplace) so I am getting very adept at salvage work.

Are they any ‘before’ pictures? Sounds more grotesque than a squad of plague marines.

Warhammer 40k

Create post

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.
