Hey,

So I bought some battlesuits from ebay and, unfortunately, they were sent in a cat-food box and the 2 broadsides are snapped at the ankle. If you're a Tau player, I'm sure you know what I mean.

How do you fix this? I'm stumped, I haven't tried plastic glue because I can't see it working

thanks.

Yeah - Pin it and you're set.

Worst case scenario - you have to rebuild the ankle.
To do this, find some sprue (you should have some laying around, if not what's wrong with you!) find those little cylinders of plastic that stick out of the sprue and find one that fits in the hole. Trim it down, then pin that to the foot + leg.

As the others said...pins are your best friend with the Tau. My advice is to drill all the way up through the base, and secure the wire to the underside of the base by bending some excess wire to make an "L" shape, then use superglue or 5 minute epoxy to secure it in place. Then you just drill up into the leg, then you just glue the suit back in place, and it should be pretty secure.
