What are some good methods to attach them to their base? Sadly only one foot ( only about 1/3 of the foot ) is actually flat that would be used to anchor. I fear they wont be secure with simple superglue and my eye sight is to poor to attempt to pin them. I am working on 60 assault marines and any advice how to secure them firmly to their base would be appreciated.

Sprue offcuts uunder the base and pinning through it into the foot and leg.

What I do. Works well.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

Some backwater sump

Plastic glue has always done the trick for me.

Drill a hole through the bottom of the foot up into the leg and pin the model to the base with some paperclip cut to size

Pre-Heresy World Eaters, but yeah, BA rules / codex. Just recieved my order of 12 boxes of assault marines, 12 melta guns, 2 Lermartes ( coverting both weapons to swords to use as librarians ), 2 Apothacaries with Jump Packs, 60 World Eater shoulder pads, and a ton of magnets for the jump packs. I will be busy for awhile with this.
