If you glued them properly, they're not separate parts anymore. Best thing to use is a knife.

yes a SHARP knife would be best and a calm spirit ;Þ

It has been varified by John Hurt that the Ultramarines are indeed the greatest space marine chapter.

Yeah, plastic glue actually dissolves the plastic slightly, so when you put the two pieces together, they actually become a single piece essentially. If it were a crappy bond (say there was paint, oil, or something else between the parts) it should break apart with some force. If not, you're SOL my friend.

Just because anyone agrees with anyone, doesn't mean they are correct. Beware the thin line between what is "Correct" and what is "Popular."

This is the only time Ill tell someone I hope they suck at putting minis together. Because other wise youll have to chop them apart. There isnt any special way of doing it either. Just line up your razor blade, and hope you can cut strait
