No, it's only superglue. The Gorilla line doesn't have any plastic cements as far as I know.
When it comes to parts that would have plenty of nice contact points and not easy to grip to apply force and try and separate, I'd put terminator front and back pieces as pretty far up there for 'those aren't coming apart again.' It's things like limbs, or pieces you can apply some sort of torsional force to that are the easiest to get off again. With front and back body pieces, you don't have any good way to work except in the directions the glue bond will be the strongest.
*edit* Or any really good places to work a hobby knife in and try to pry it apart. Take that relatively small piece, hold onto it tight with one hand, use the other to really try and jam that razor sharp knife right into that minimal seam! WCGW?
Been experimenting with doing a Nighthaunt army and this is the test mini!
Aqshy Nighthaunts! I wanted them to be fiery without actually been on fire. To that end, I did the robes smokey with lots of dots of burning embers trailing behind them.
Goal was to get a miniature that I could paint very quickly with contrast paints and highlights... a mini that I can paint during my lunch breaks or for 20 minutes or so before i leave at the end of the day, essentially.
Ok those guys look fucking badass and I don’t say stuff like that often. Damn.
I even have the marine half of T&C unassembled around here somewhere…

Some random person started talking to me when I went to pick up some brushes at michaels. That kind of thing always weird me out.
Instead of working on a current paint project I'm cleaning off old tyranids from the battle of macragge and I'm gonna practice a cell shaded paint scheme so I feel more prepared doing the cell shaded Maliwan scheme on my Tau.

eh, i get away with it because my bitz box is swollen with years of freebie models working for a geedubs licencor.
that said, i strongly believe you can't call a model a Space Wolf without 2 out of 3:
- beard/crazy hairdo
- a close combat weapon
- bitz of a dead animal.

Yea, I think lack of bits is what puts me off. All my Space Marines are from the Grey Hunter box but then I have tons of Primaris that I glued their helmets in because I hate painting faces.
I keep telling myself just the paint scheme will be enough but then I never paint them because I do want to convert them. I need a good and fast way to make fur from green stuff.
Also, were you able to get that deathsworn head by itself?
I am starting to feel the urge to paint though and I feel like I should capitalize on it but I don't know what to paint. I feel like I need to finish one of the 5 projects I have going.

Like many of the things from aos/40k and so on you can find the parts on ebay it's just a waiting game with what your are willing to pay
I have things I want to paint but I lack certain colors {highlights certain base colors and such] it's just a debate and a self doubt that prevents me from getting them
"Why good afternoon you fine fellows! Have you heard the word of Grandfather Nurgle?"
Trying to figure out how to take photos again. Hi I'm still alive and painting! Also PS slow tf down Matrias or I'ma break my mouse button from slamming awesome too many times.

I'm going to sit down for the first time in months and do some painting this weekend...I pray they come out not like ass
We all learn at different paces look at the farseer i painted long ago and the one i did one night in the opening page
This is the rust effect I went with. Use whatever metallic color, layer with Typhus corrosion, dry brush ryza rust, and then add some highlights with the metallic color.

Salient to stragints post... Any suggestions on an easy rust effect? I found one for Vallejo but it involves like four powdered products and a basecoat
Was really hoping to find a one-and-done rust product that isn't quite as bright orange as the GW method.

Do you want acrylic paints or enamel?
And how crazy do you want to get?

Acrylic preferably... Just something simple and easy to apply, but more of a red/brown rust than a bright orange
I saw the below on reddit and would like to do something similar.

The only fast and easy way to do it I've seen is from Midwinter minis but even then it was a corroded look mixing nuln oil and Typhus corrosion.
You also don't have to use an orange for the dry brush like I did for mine. Use what ever color you imagine the rust looking like on the models.
For reference if you'd like to see it, this is the video. He does the corrosion painting starting at about 4:15, couldn't figure out how to time stamp a video on my phone.
Also, were you able to get that deathsworn head by itself?
hah, no, i had to buy the whole kit of those fuckers for this project. i used 1 head for this LT, 3 more on my reivers, with a 4th head held in reserve for a special occasion
i gave all their axes to reivers and have been using the deathsworn armour as trade currency to get special models (like the Space wolf from Kill Team Cassius).

I might try doing that, I love those heads.
Had anyone used the green stuff world fur press thing? I'm trying to find an easy way to do fur and it seems good but I'm not sure.
Also, why is necrotite green impossible to find in the wild?

So, paint adjacent question here, I'm going to be making some 'Crons soon, and for gluing the green rod in specifically it was recommended I use PVA glue, but I don't really have any. Rather than just try and use a minimal amount of superglue should I just skip the rods until after I get some?

I would not use superglue or plastic glue as it makes the clearish plastic of the rods ugly
You can make your own white glue though if you are in a pinch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xrfspCalb0
Superglue can fume as it dries and cloud transparent plastic. That's why there's special glue for using on things like canopies and windows. It really depends on the glue type though. I just use a little dab of super glue in the holding point for my necron rods and never had any clouding issues.
I'm making a display board for my beastclaw raiders out of a thin metal sheet and a picture frame. What glue would be best to glue the metal to the wooden frame?

Hey, care to elaborate on that one?
Alternatively, will polymer glue work?

2 part epoxy if you want to make sure the metal stays fixed to the wood.

Hmm, fun thoughts ... Running total cost* so far on boat model:
Actual model itself - $80
Photo etch details - $50
Tools for photo etch - $120? $130 maybe?
1/700 Bofors cannons and deck guns - $70
---
$320, with anything yet required for the base (as well as probably the odd bit of paint) yet to come. On the plus side, the tools aren't a recurring cost. ;P

It could have a cryo plastic glue as it's basically welded together then
