This is really stupid. I had about 10 skinks, 3 temple guard and a cold one rider not make it back successfully from Adepticon. Spent the night pinning things.
I have couple GW drills, and I bought a pack of really small bits from Central Hobbies. For whatever reason, I use the insides of computer network wire for pinning. I guess I just had a lot of it around when I learned how to pin, and it’s reasonably strong and thinner than paper clip. Call me weird… but if you do, tell me what you use to pin with! 🙂
One nice thing – after the repair, I puttied some more bandages on the 2 already built temple guard I bought at Adepticon. I need 4 more for my OFCC list (and 24 is just a good number in general for temple guard) so this is the start of that.
After all of this, I’ve got some painting to do. Probably take the Scorched Brown for the weapons and some Codex Grey for the models and get rid of any unpainted breakage lines. Bah!

May 14, 2013 at 1:42 pmI have a paper clip on my desk that I try to use when I can’t find my network wire, but I find that my current drill bit is to small to fit the paper clip. I think I bought the smallest bit I could find, so maybe I bought to small!
I don’t know what is up with the temple guard, but the skinks are understandable. I had 3 legs that bent inappropriately and snapped, and 4 javelins that snapped. The javelins happen regularly, as they are at odd angles compared to the carrying case. As opposed to the saurus spears, which are all straight up and down. The rest of the skink repairs are silly things like, on some of them the tips of their crest snapped (to pointy!). I generally don’t repair this, but just paint over it instead.
