So does anyone have any tips on how to pin a warhoud?
I don't have much experience pinning anything but I understand you need a power drill and 2mm brass rods instead of just the GW drill and paperclips.
I assume I'll need to pin the ball joints at the ankles/hips/elbows/neck and I've seen someone pin the with a nice big rod at the waist which can be taken out to disassemble it for transport.
As for the body:

1. seems pretty simple, pin the engines onto the.. controly-part?, from there use the engines to pin the front half of the body on (2.).
I have no idea how to pin the shoulder/part with the servitor but since they are going to take the weight of the guns I assume it's necessary, should that be done with paperclips?

*One more thing, looking at the head the head side looks easy enough to pin but I can't see much room on the body side to stick a pin without drilling through into the inside

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

Shouldn't need a power drill. A good sharp bit and a hand chuck should do it?

Resin is softer than metal, so a pin vice works fin. I didn't bother pinning my warhound - instead I used a strong two-part epoxy on the load bearing joints, and used multiple 5mm rare earth magnets on the arms, and where the body joins the legs so it could be broken down for transport.
