Despite my hefty post load I've only recently started collecting 40k miniatures (a few months now, focusing on Chaos then Eldar). As part of my Chaos Horde I bought a pack of 5 Plaguebearers off GW's website. Getting them in the mail today....They came basically fully assembled. I just had to glue 1 hand on a guy and then put them on their bases. Took a combined total of 5 minutes.

What's the deal with this? I mean I hate putting together metal as much as the next guy but I'm frankly surprised GW basically gives them to you pre-assembled. Anybody know of other models that come like this?

What exactly do you mean by preassembled? Do you mean that someone put the models together for you before you got them?

They are mostly one piece minis like most metal rank and file figs. Personal that why I love metal figures just plonk em on a base and your good to go as opposed to GWs current 8 piece kits for a single rank and file (feth you whfb whitelions).

I got a box of the orignal necormunda cawdor gangers the other day and it was a joy to work with metal figs gain and they feel so much better when your playing.
