Literally :( Ouch my fingers...

I remember when I was assembling my Ork Deff Dreads and Killa Kans, I had picked up one of my Kans without looking, and this one I gave the tusks on the front, which had subsequently pricked me and drew blood. Damn spikey spikes everywhere. I feel sorry for Dark Eldar.

Cant say my DE have really stabbed me.

Really? But they're all spindly, spiky and vicious looking.

Worst things I've put together I think was Eldar warwalkers. Or DE raiders/venoms >.<

haha, yes! I just put together my first deff dread today and damn, so so many spikes.

Use clippers, scissors or so forth to get them out of sprues if you want to preserve your fingers.

I was stabbed in the arm with a 2nd ed Grot. The spike on his helmet drew blood. Also, be thankful you don't play Chaos. Push-fit models that are absolutely covered in spikes and sharp bits is one of the harsher experiences I've had building models.

Dv chosen. "So this model is just pushed together, and the ped is right on the other side of this spike, covered in spikes"

The old metal bloodthirster got me quite a few times. It was done on purpose i think though. Then you could shed blood for the blood god building it.

Look at the bright side; you get realistic looking blood on those spikes.

At least it's easier than the Ghost Ark. That's the hardest model I've ever assembled.

my guys keep falling apart no matter what glue I use :(

yea ive been stabbed and scratched up a few times building models. i would have to say the worst kits are the killa kans/deff dreads, although i have been injured by my ogres and dark eldar a few times. the worst however was my phantom titan. was trimming off one of the gems with a heavy duty box cutter. slipped and sliced open my finger. 6 stitches later i was at it again, only to stab the same hand with the same knife. no stitches, but i bled like a stuck pig. thankfully it didnt scar up too bad. needless to say i learned to be MUCH more careful when using knofes to trim off gigantic resim gemstones off eldar titans.

For sure, I only have one walker because stuff it took to put it together, and it still looks awful. And some of the Ork models weren't too bad, assembling a 100 at a time was no easy task though.

Tell ya what, I'll take some of those mean old orks off your bleeding hands and give em a good home.

I'll trade some nice, not sharp Cadians!

Oh who am I kidding, everytime I pull my guardsmen out of my foam, there's 3 or 4 cadians stuck to the bottom of each sheet, where their little bayonets got stuck in. Pretty hilarious to watch, those Guardsmen never go down without a fight.

I got stabbed by a building from the Imperial Sector once, I stumbled on a bookbag and put my hand out to catch myself, taking a spike right through the meat of a finger and drawing blood.

You just need more commissars.
