it's also common with this sort of thing to look back at your first squad after you've finished your 6th and see the progress you've made as a painter, a side effect of which will be a strong desire to go back and fine tune the 1st squad. not a big problem, just means it'll take a bit longer to finish the lot! be prepared to do a couple of repaints of early squads as you learn more techniques and gain a steadier hand.
Thanks hairy. I learned a trick with the fanasty line heads last night, I cut out the middle piece of the termie torso back, it's the round shaped thing. It makes the fantasy heads fit much better, I wish I did it with the first termie I used those heads on, but it came out ok. I can't wait to paint the Slaanesh Raptors I'm gonna build, purple and gold with silver highlights sounds real good.

Oh son of a motherless goat. I just ruined a combi-bolter for the termie I'm working on. It was the cool one from the termie lord. Now I have to start shaving a new one. Crap, I don't feel like working on termies now, I may switch to something else. Oh man, that was a cool bolter too. AHHHHHH! I'm so angry. At least I have spares. I swear to you hairy, no more talk about SW termies. It jinxed me! So the termie I'm working on will take me awhile longer, sorry guys. Did I metion I dropped it today, and had to reglue the head to the torso and legs to the base? What sorta curse did you put on me wookie? By the way, for some reason when I glued the legs back there was a thin white coat of glue near the feet. Will paint cover this or should I shave it off as best I can?

Good thing GW models are tough. My best friend's wife dropped an Exorcist, which is pretty heavy, off my table and it did'nt hurt it one bit.

if the white stuff is only near the feet i wouldnt worry too much. you can leave it or shave it. if it shows after you base coat it as a rough patch use it as a muddied area an paint it as such.. just an idea.

ha! that'll learn ya! don't mess with the wookie-voodoo

that white bit you see is just fumes from the glue i think, my minis used to get it all the time with super glue (used to make repairs after a finished paint job a complete git!). you should be able to rub it off with a wet finger or failing that scrape it off with a knife.

ya the white fumes are from the super glue when you use to much and it gets exposed to air. Paint over it and you should be fine.

Come to think of it, I never really had this problem with the old plastics. Seems like it happens a bit with the new though.

I've found its mostly the application of the glue, but its really not a problem if you just paint over it.
