Using a heat gun on resin seems foolhardy. Hot water or a hairdryer would probably be safer.

I hosed up a pair of clippers cutting guitar wire before. It's pretty easy to do.

I think you are going a bit overboard. How do you wear-out a pair of clippers? You been cutting steel nails?

Not nails, but yes, I've had them for a few years and have used them to cut some metal stuff. I've used them occasionally for other projects. They're showing some nicks in the blade, and am going to get new ones just for plastic.

I've been contimplating selling my orginal cadian army. Metal is a such a bitch to move around when you start dealing with full platoons.

More important question, are you going to do an army of them? Fists consistently look amazing on the table when I see them.

I'm rather taken with the yellow, so I'm considering it. I think a Dreadnought would look pretty sweet.

Ended up winning the Inner Circle event at my local GW today. Took Cawl, and he was an absolute beast. Survived a 4 way combat between my Cawl, 2 demon princes and a Dark Eldar Succubi, with all 3 of them swinging at me.

I think there were 8 of us. 2 demon princes, chaos champion (or lord? On a bike with two power fists. When he killed things he kept rolling on a table for rewards), Succubi, Herald of Nurgle, Space Wolves Terminator Rune Priest, some Grey Knight dude and myself.

Pretty fun! Looking forward to fielding Cawl next Sunday at the ITC games.

Oh man I know exactly how you feel. I was going to build a Space Wolves army, but I hate them a little more with every pelt and wolf tail that I paint. So far I've painted test Ultramarines, Salamanders and Red Scorpions. I'm going to have to commit to a chapter if I want to play this game at aome point :v

Pssssssssh, that's fan-made bullshit. You should base it off the official Rainbow Warriors fluff and have every last marine posed like they're being gunned down by a Sister of Battle.

Going to get some Xuron 2175ET clippers. For other tools I have a file set, an xacto knife, and a hand drill. What else should I get? Should I invest in a razor saw or a cheap heat gun? I've never used either before.

Absolutely get a jewelers saw.

If you want to be old-school RT era make them nautical-themed and anti-French, as the name references the French intelligence gently caress-up sinking the Greenpeace flagship in 85, which was a thing that was talked about in gaming stores back then in my anecdotal experience, especially among the British.
