I used to do this with Silicone grease when lining up new screw holes when I used to work as a tech repairing appliances. I sometimes had to use aluminum scrap to make replacement metal plate covers with tin snips when reconditioning a used machine as part of making it like new.

I came here to say this. It seems so obvious now that I've seen it but would've never thoight of it on my own

It's what I use to help with magnets

problem is, you still need to know the angle of how to drill

I mean I personally think the handles a little too big, though I haven't had the chance to go look at the stock model for the sword myself yet, so I'm not entirely sure how bad it is there. I just mean that, at least if I imagined the demon prince holding the sword in two hands it does look like Thier would still be way too much handle left over, but that might just be a personal preference thing

@@Luna-tc3xj the stock model has a ridiculously small handle

Great tip!

Sounds like a fun idea to try!

I feel that. I still have a large tyranid army when I only completed two smaller gaunts.

@@Ragnarra I’m actually just now getting around to finishing my orks I bought back in 5th edition 😬

Glad to hear it!

Sure. Any head preference?

@@TheHobbyCollab Not really, just the heads from the demon prince kit that you didn't like, so we can see the improvement.

​@TheHobbyCollab what about the daemon prince head we see on the 40k model that has the 4 horns

Try using Nivea cream!

What’s the Vaseline for? Does it soften the green stuff or something?

Ehhhhhhh I answered this in another comment.

Hey sorry for the late reply. Petroleum jelly prevents the green stuff from sticking to your tools kind of like water. But unlike water, you dont have to keep rewetting your tools. Also, your tools glide more easily off the surface. It's hard to describe, its more of a "feel" type of thing.

Good question! I did use a little plastic glue after the pin was in place, but that wasnt 100% needed. Also, the area where the two piece meet wasn't very flat, and would've required more sanding which may have changed the angle of the head which I wanted to avoid. There's a large gap under between the neck on the body and head, so if I used only plastic glue would've meant holding the pieces together for awhile until the glue fully set, and even then wouldnt have been as sturdy as pinning.

To each their own.

1 head, 2 mouths, 2 horns.

this is why the gunpla and warhammer communities need to merge

Can't answer for anyone else but to me I think the stock options both look more dumb than menacing.

@@KjellEilertsen How so?

@@ChaseDaOrk3767 Hard to put into words exactly why, they just look unintelligent but not feral. It's have to study up on why certain features gives us humans certain impressions, like big head and big eyes we associate with babies and therefore we don't consider it threatening but cute instead. The stock heads just look bad to me. If they are cool to you then all good, not trying to argue anyone should agree with me. :)

Maybe dislike is the wrong word. I feel like none quite fit what I wanted for my army. My army is Undivided, which rules out 4/5 heads. The one Undivided head provided just didnt feel monstrous enough to me.

Plastic glue would probably be enough if you let it set, but I felt the rod helped reinforce the connection since I started sculpting around the neck soon after.

It looks better
