Troubleshooting

Miniatures won't stick together properly.

Ensure you are using a plastic glue specifically designed for polystyrene models. Clean the contact surfaces of both parts to remove any dust or residue. Apply a small amount of glue and hold the parts firmly together until bonded.

Parts are missing from the sprue.

Double-check the sprue and packaging thoroughly. If parts are indeed missing, contact Games Workshop customer support with proof of purchase for assistance.

Difficulty identifying specific small components.

Refer closely to the assembly diagram provided in the kit. Use good lighting and, if necessary, a magnifying glass to identify and handle small parts accurately.

Painted miniatures chipping easily.

Ensure models are properly primed and that paint layers are thin and applied evenly. Applying a varnish spray after painting can add a protective layer to help prevent chipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly:

This is a multipart plastic kit that requires assembly using Citadel Plastic Glue (sold separately). Carefully remove all components from the sprue and follow the included assembly instructions. It is recommended to wash the components in warm, soapy water and allow them to dry before assembly to remove any mould release agent.

Painting:

These miniatures are supplied unpainted. We recommend using Citadel Colour paints and appropriate brushes for best results. A primer coat is advisable before applying base colours.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for use in games of Warhammer 40,000 and Kill Team. The miniatures are compatible with other Warhammer 40,000 models for general army building. The tokens are specifically designed for use with the Kill Team ruleset.

Care:

Handle the assembled miniatures with care to avoid damaging delicate parts. Store them in a safe place, such as a figure case, when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can warp the plastic.
