Should I? I have a Njal, a Jump Pack Chaplain and Canis Wolfborn. I use paperclips for pinning.

I understand from other threads that superglue will bond finecast miniatures without the need for pinning.

I would consider pinning any thin pieces. I have had some issues with narrower parts breaking and they benefit from having the metal core.

How does one drill out thin pieces without poking out of the sides?

Very carefully.

But if you can drill a bolter barrel you should be fine.

So things like arm joints, wrist joints from the first two and the big chunks of wolf from canis don't need pinning? the tail needs pinning since it snapped off before I opened it.
