I'm new to 40k, and play Chaos. I was wondering, what's a good way to glue metal miniatures? I got some Citadel super glue but it didn't work so well, I guess maybe it was a bad batch...

hmmm i think it should work... i can't remember what I use... I have a bottle of the Citadel stuff but don't remember if I used that or some other stuff that I have

With heavy pieces, drilling 2 holes and pinning a small piece of metal ( paper clip ) with zap a gap glue makes nice bonds.

Agree with Luna its easiest to pin metal minis,oh and welcome!

Look in the Painting and Modelling Tutorials and also the Articles for advice on assembling models.

Someone shared this with me the other day. Use just a little water with the glue, kind of like an accelerate. But the bigger models need the pinning. I tried the water and it worked.

Yeah, the main ingredient for any cyanoacrylate(superglue) accelerant is water, but check your local hobby shop for some Mercury(brand) accelerant. It works much faster than water and gets a bond allmost immediately. Hope this helps.
