Hello.


I got two kits and both the arms (part 13) have angled joints where you attach it to the frame of the machine, giving the canon/plagueclaw an angle and not a straight line in the machine.
One of the attachment points is straight while the other turns in a 30degree angle, I'm guessing it is supposed to be like this as I have the same "problem" with both kits.

I followed the instructions, I can't seem to get it right. The arm seems to be straight on the box art and other pictures of the build... I can't find any other ways to make it straight without drilling a rod into it.
Anyone built this kit that can help me? Don't want to start cutting in it jus yet

No, it's not meant to be like that. It's a bad batch, and the pieces are miscast by the looks of it. Send an email to GW, and they'll replace the parts. Doesn't look like that bit of the mould filled up properly, as it's definitely looks like a miscast.

I too thought something was wrong, but as both kits looked alike I wasn't sure.
Thanks for letting me know, I will contact GW or buy new ones of Ebay.

Contact GW.

They may be awful at customer relations, but they are absolutely AWESOME at customer SERVICE.

Tell them what's wrong and they'll mail you a new sprue within a day or so.

I remember once I bought a Dante and it was missing his pistol in the package.
Emailed GW and they sent me out an entire new Dante model, happy days!
