Alot of FW models require bending and filling to get them as they should be, more so with some of the older stuff like DKOK.

Yep... lots of Forge World models require greenstuff and sculpting tool. As Jackal mentioned, it's worse with the older models.

Which parts are not matching up?
When it comes to FW's marines, the flat part of the arm that glues to the torso has 1 - 5 holes marked in it to match up with an opposite arm with the same number of holes.
Do the DKoK models have the same system?

They do have something similar to that, but no matter what there will be gaps that you have to fill up. You can even see it in the FW pictures if you look close enough. Believe me after putting together a lot of those dudes

Yeah I had the same issue with DKOK troops. Total nightmare imho. Lots of bending in hot water and lots of greenstuff.

Don't start with greenstuff though. Start with making sure you are matching the correct arms to the correct torsos. Then you can use hot water to bend them in to shape. THEN resort to greenstuff. Most the DKOK I've put together only needed a small sliver of filler. Often the seam itself isn't too bad there's just a hollow in the middle that is best filled by using a superglue-greenstuff-superglue sandwich (but be careful not to use too much as it's a paint to clean up if it squirts out excessively).
