I started building my blood angels but I ran into a little snag. I was looking at the backpacks and some of them have a hole straight through the thin flat spot on the back. Some are partially filled in. I don't ever remember there being holes or bits to glue in them. It seems like the 2 bare back packs on each 5man sprue are all this way. I started clipping before I realized this.

My question is, "Are they supposed to be like this?"

Wo... what the hell? lol

I think they're not supposed to be there, but if you don't like it, it's easy enough to fix.

Those look like the ones that are supposed to have the circular vent there....

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity......

I have the same problem with many of mine. Its quite annoying... but I have plenty of spares from other model sets, so I don't have a problem. but if your just starting, your out of luck... I'd suggest calling GW. they will probably just send you more backpacks.

That's what I thought. I'll give them a buzz tomorrow.

Thanks for all the input guys.

Like what everyone else said, take them back and hopefully they will give you something else for their screw up.

Of course, as an American, that means I must say that soccer sucks, and football (real football... you know, the one where you do everything with your hands) is 10,000 times as good. I mean, football players could probably beat up soccer players, even, because they actually know sports.

Not hopefully, they will. If nothing else, GW has an amazing customer service center.

I gave them a call today. They are sending me 10 new backpacks. Yay freebies. I'm sure I can fix these others up and make a few extra models out of them.

@kingCracker: Yeah, they sure do have good customer service. Thanks.
