I've decided to blow the dust off my circle orboros army and start playing them again, but I noticed several of my skin walkers and wolves of orboros models have broken spear heads and halberds, a glue bond does not seem strong enough to put into my carrying case, and green stuff makes it pretty ugly looking, has anyone had this problem before? any suggestions would be great thanks for reading

I'd recommend replacing the shafts with brass rods. I did this with my IFP, and flag bearers. Yes it's a pain it's worth it in the end.

Now with 100% more blog....

Yep.

It used to be pretty common that when you got something that had a hafted weapon you would get a wire (brass or often steel) shaft and the head as parts with miniatures.

I'll replace all the long narrow parts I work with with brass or steel still. You can generally cut the head off and then drill a tiny socket for a stonger glue joint on the wire.

Nothing is as bad as Iron Fang Pikemen bendy/breaky spears! Brass rod-ing metal miniatures is really easy and totally worth the effort. You could either pin the killy ends with thin rod (or paperclips if you don't have rod), or completely replace the spear shaft as is done with IFP.

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. Grrr.
