I bought a Chaos Terminator Lord recently, and being swayed by looks over possible effectiveness, decided on a pair of lighting claws. Played his 1st game las night and was not impressed by how they performed - rather than slicing through Orks like so much ripe corn he ended up tarpitted for the majority of the battle... I'm wondering (in addition to whether there is any point to a pair of LCs and in what circumstances they can be worth having? And will bolter & chainfist be a better choice?) if there's any way to remove glued appendages without damaging the model. I used GW plastic glue btw...

Thanks, I had come to the same conclusion about the glue fusing the parts together, but Dakkaites are nothing if not ingenious, so I thought I'd give it a shot!

My problem with LCs was once in combat (he engaged pretty quickly) he was pretty ineffectual, only managing to inflict any damage after 3 turns of CC. But maybe it was the dice gods being against me. I'll maybe give him more opportunity to prove himself rather than sideline him after 1 game. Perhaps it might be more productive to attach him to my berserker unit rather than vanilla CSMs...

I just saw your post Samus, I can sort a pic for you if you like, but with shipping to the States etc it may not be cost effective. There's also some glue marking on the back where I was able to remove the cloak before the glue was set (I was so keen to get the thing assembled it wasn't until the cloak was attached that I realised it would make it virtually impossible to paint the back of the armour...)
