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.

The new skull cannon is a PITA.
Old Eldar dreads though, FTL. Gangly, heavy models with tiny joints. It was a headache to assemble.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

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  )

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