Extended Product Information

FAQs

What tools do I need to assemble the Forgefiend?

You will need a hobby knife or clippers, Citadel Plastic Glue, and optionally, files or sanding sticks to prepare the parts.

What type of paint should I use?

Citadel Colour paints are recommended for the best results, though other acrylic paints designed for miniatures can be used.

Can I use super glue instead of plastic glue?

While super glue can be used, plastic glue is specifically designed to melt and bond plastic parts together, creating a stronger bond. Super glue is better for attaching non-plastic elements.

How do I choose between the Forgefiend and Maulerfiend?

The Forgefiend is better suited for ranged combat, while the Maulerfiend is designed for close combat. Choose based on your army's needs and strategy.

What is the recommended age for this product?

The recommended age is 12 years and up due to the small parts and assembly requirements.

Does the kit come with instructions?

Yes, the kit includes a manual with detailed assembly instructions.

Can I build more than one Forgefiend/Maulerfiend from this kit?

No, the kit only contains enough parts to build one Forgefiend or one Maulerfiend.

Troubleshooting

Parts not fitting correctly

Ensure you are using the correct glue and that all surfaces are clean and free from debris. You may need to trim or file parts for a better fit.

Model is unstable or wobbly

Make sure all joints are securely glued. Consider using a stronger adhesive for critical connections. Check the base for uneven surfaces.

Paint not adhering to the model

Ensure the model is properly primed before painting. Use multiple thin coats of paint instead of one thick coat.

Broken parts

Use plastic glue or super glue to reattach broken parts. For larger breaks, consider using green stuff or other modeling putty to reinforce the repair.
