Ogre ironbelcher's fucking suck, because their arms don't go to the hand fully, so you have to use green stuff.
Also hybrid metal/resin models fucking suck a big dick.

It's made such that pieces overlap but everything has to be put together in order so no subassemblies for easier painting

Somer and Lenny aren't too bad. Lenny is pretty standard, and Somer just has some bottles and other bits that are annoying. His face also requires some greenstuff to smooth out properly.

The Skeeters are very annoying. Each of the legs is its own piece, the antenna are really easy to snap off, and its face is two pieces as well. It also is way too big for its base, so you'll need to put them on some sort of air base. Here's a pick what I did.

And there's the Bayou Gremlins.

I can't express in words my pain, so here's their assembly instructions.

I primarily play Ressers, so luckily I don't have to deal with much bullshit.

I know that feel. Also, I got a 40k player interested in the game. He bought that box, looked at it once, and noped into SJW activism instead.

M2e: streamlines rules make it easier to play, models sort of do the opposite.

I love my gremlins though.

Plastic glue is for plebs. You can't use it on metal or resin anyway so might as well just use super glue for everything.

Valkyries from 40k are my absolute bane

Infinity models. Metal connection points the size if a pinhead can fuck right off.

In what way? Been planning to get one for my army. Is there some things I need to think about when assembling it?

I can second that. Assembling those kum bitches and those spindly, top heavy, long arms.
>>
>>45588318
Plastic glue is the worst.
When your codex gets updated and suddenly a dozen models need their load out changing, you are fucked.
Superglue holds just as well and snaps cleanly when you want it to. Just dont drop your models.

One of these two. The metal thunderfire cannon just will not fit together no matter what and is nearly impossible to fix. On the other hand, Deathjack is stupidly top heavy and has to support his massive weight on little spindly legs. I think there's about 20 pins in there keeping him from collapsing into a pile of parts.
>>
>>45586833
From minis I have built, Warmachine CoC Enigma Foundries and Elimination Servitors. The latter aren't that bad, but the contact point of their gun is so tiny that you can't pin it and it's liable to fall off at slightest provocation, while the latter has an upper body made from a solid hunk of metal that's suppsoed to be mounted on a lower body held up by four spinrdly legs, all of which are of course individual metal pieces. Even after pinning I couldn't get the really heavy upper body to stay on quite properly, so while it does seem to hold in place it wobbles unnervingly whenever you pick the model up.

I've also heard the old metal Ogrer Kingdoms scrap launcher was godwaful and impossible to put together untless you either had an extra pair of hands or a vice to hold the frame together while you inserted the rest of the parts.

>>45593561
My first time building one the back tail rudder part was a pain in the ass to align properly with the back 2 shafts. Including the cluter rockets, which barely stayed on the model correctly and wiggled like hell while gluing. It was my first time making one so i made a lot of mistakes but it was still a mess of a build
>>
>>45588636
That doesn't look too bad at all, what's the problem exactly?

>>45586833
the WFB imperial griffon, made of metal probably around 6th edition.

Top heavy, hard to balance and didnt fit well together.

Privateer Press has been know to make questionable design choices, especially with hybrid models.
>metal tops
>plastic legs.
Though that is from word of mouth, not personal experience.
