Daemonettes. They just break. But I guess this applies to any thinner models, so eldar, dark eldar, and daemonettes.

Yeah Dark Eldar are not easy to put together if you're all thumbs.

I got a couple of forgeworld trygons off ebay and you know all those tiny spines the GW kit has already attached? These don't. I nearly lost it attaching all of them

For now its gotta be the stormeagle.

Pretty much any large metal creature, those have always been rough. Stormraven? Use plastic cement, it literally welds the pieces together.

The new skull cannon is a PITA.

Old Eldar dreads though, FTL. Gangly, heavy models with tiny joints. It was a headache to assemble.

For me it has to be havocs. I can't get the guns right and trying to convert them to lascannons for WYSIWYG is just hell.

Im going to the bastion has given me the most difficult time. Just couldnt get anything to fit right or have the floor hold together. Terrible experience.

In my experience storm ravens are easily the worst models you could imagine. nothing sticks together and there are just so many pieces that need to keep being put on the chassis that falls apart

I also say the old space marine land speeders. I had to trim several areas in order to get it to fit nice. Even then I would still rubber band it to make sure.

Forgeworlds Heirophant.

personal anti favorite, Fire warriors.

this thread again lol

REALLY! Firewarriors are easy as......well except for the antenne thingy. I mean if the left arm doesn't really fit on due to the right arms placement you can cover the left arm up with the shoulder shield


Anyway, Kroot are kinda annoying to glue up

Necron Monolith.

I used a ton of putty on the joins. Probably the one Citadel model I've built, where the fit wasn't that great.

ZF-

My friend had a monolith that was so bad that he stopped playing the game for a year. I then turned it into a Gundam.

The old metal Thunderfire Cannon was a gigantic pain in the ass to assemble.

Metal TFC is a pain, I don't think the drop pods are that bad. The Ghost Ark just takes a long time because of the number of parts

Exorcist tank.

Drop pods...Do not follow the instructions...Look at them, move around a few steps and you should be fine.

Thunderwolf Cavalry...121 pieces (According to GW's website) for 3 guys.

Assembling is not too bad until you start magnetizing crap...

I ask, nay, I DEMAND pics of this

For me so far it's the Ghost Ark, but I'm still very green in this. Still, I dread the idea of assembling and painting another one.

another vote here for the Drop Pod, i cant get the doors to close... and worse then that the top part never stays attached to the bottom.

Pentinent engines are my vote, Exorcist being a close second. used so much greenstuff, pins, and gorilla glue to keep those things together. As others have said i had to make a frame to hold it up while it dried. took 3 days to make sure it didnt fall apart. and the arms still fall off occasionally

The metal landspeeders immediately pre-dating the plastic ones.

You were essentially given a few chunks of metal and told to carve yourself a landspeeder. I built three and it's why I can't even comprehend the complaints about finecast.

Oh god those things were filled with gaps. /shudder

Metal plastic thousand sons kit. None of the pieces fit right, so I had to use green stuff on every single shoulder. The fact that the chest was half metal and half plastic was incredibly annoying as they are super front heavy. Half the arms.guns and shoulder plates are metal, the other half plastic.

I've got another 9 on my to do list, but Im going to do everything else first. :(

(on the bright side, at least I don't have to deal with the fine cast )

My Imperial Bastion has wobbly model syndrome So Id say that was a pain to try and get everything level and fitting properly.

I agree with Daemonettes they're terrible to glue together..

however that was nothing when compared to painting my scourges...my eye was twitching after getting them done

Warhammer fantasy VC skellies. no matter how little of or how much you use when gluing the parts together holds. then they break the moment you look @ them when they finally do bond.

Considering fine cast would eliminate most f the problems you're having, that's not something to brag about

Old Land Speeder, metal Thunderfire Cannon, metal/plastic hybrid Broadside Suits.
