Assembling Leviathan

[N.I.B.]

Got my hands on my Leviathan box today. Have to say snapfit is a joy for those smaller models. But are you supposed to glue anything, like the Barbgaunts?

I put a small amount of plastic glue in most places just to keep everything together long term. Also snipped a few of the pegs to reduce gaps on the larger models.

I first test the fit THEN I put glue. Also filling in the inevitable gaps with Liquid Green Stuff is a must. I've got 7 Termagants, the Barbgaunts and the Psychophage together so far. Also took the time to read the book. THE NEW LORE IS SICK.

I've put together the Neurogaunts and Barbgaunts so far, not a drop of glue and they fit together seamlessly. Working on the Psychophage now, I think I'll take your advice and go safe with some glue.

I didn't glue except for where I broke one of the pegs. Models feel sturdy but we'll see if they stay that way after a few games!

The little gribblies seem to snap together nice and strong. I glued the first few but then just pushed them together.

The bigger stuff I found didn't fit well at all, especially the screamer-killer so I snapped the pegs off and just glued them and they fit a whole lot better.

I’ve assembled all the nids in the box (I traded away the marines for mor nids). Everything goes together great. Had some issues putting the neurogants on the base (tight peg with spindly legs can cause problems), but I just used some jeweler’s pliers to push them on the base.

GW push together kits are designed not to use glue when assembling. In fact, most of the issues I had was because I used glue and the glue set before the piece was properly in place.

Neurogaunts were hard to snap into the bases. I used the mold line removing tool as leverage and just s apped them in that way.

except a small piece i broke while removing from the sprue and a marine jetpack, everything worked well to me
