Check our Top 3 Tips and Tricks Tutorial on how to assemble your Tyranid Carnifex like a pro!
Assembling the Carnifex
This little bugger is a tough kit to assemble, but with a few tricks you can save yourself a few headaches along the way
Seal up the vents with plastic glue. This things will never line up right, but it you seal them up with some plastic glue you give yourself a fighting change to have only a few gaps left over to really worry about.
When the plastic glue dries, just seal up any left over gaps with some plastic putty from Vallejo. This stuff is way better than Liquid Green Stuff, I highly recommenced it!
Last but not least magnetize all four weapon sockets with 1/8 diameter x 1/16 deep magnets. Don’t forget to match the polarities on you magenets so you can make all your weapons fully interchangeable!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits started with Rob trying to stay motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects and share his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
Scale model hobbyist in the 80s, miniature wargamer, and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy since 5th Edition, but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of both pewter and resin.
