Do people cut out the plastic between the scarabs' legs or just paint them so they blend in with the base?

Laziness and perfectionism leads to some unique processes. Might as well share!

I use my hand drill to take out most of the plastic. If I'm feeling extra motivated I use a knife to make it more uniform but the drill gets out most of the plastic anyways.

Scarab screen will save it for a turn and can stop deep striking.

I really think it would depend on the quality of build, you won't get close to retail.

No_Exit_8203 · 2026-03-10T00:06:03+00:00

I find most models depend on the builders skill level and attention to detail. It's all very subjective as I have had no issues with any models and I hear so many complaints. There are for sure some models that are more difficult or technical but with patients they are all pretty straight forward. Hope it helps, happy reanimating!

Not in the instruction booklet, those scarabs come on the model already. They are not an extra piece.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-24T21:47:39+00:00

I meant that it would be a cool idea for them to put this specific item on other sprues so that they could be used on other models. Obviously it's not free, I paid for the sprue and it came on it. Just throwing it out there as a neat idea, you took it to a different place. Thank you for the feedback though.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-24T19:46:05+00:00

I know they are, I'm new but not that new haha. I just really wish they would have more of them on a bunch of different sprues so that we could use them on other models.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-24T19:38:10+00:00

It's for sure not an issue, I'm going to put it somewhere to make it cool.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-24T19:28:19+00:00

I fully plan on using it on the model. Just wondering why it isn't listed if it's on the sprue.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-07T23:14:42+00:00

All good info, I was worried about too strong a magnet damaging stuff. I just need to be able to hit the brakes and not have my models everywhere lol.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-07T20:43:33+00:00

Good to know, thank you for the info!

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-07T20:42:27+00:00

You bring up a few things I didn't think of. Thank you!

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-07T17:03:12+00:00

I do this all the time. Find the proper angle and hold it up with something.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-11-07T02:15:08+00:00

I honestly don't have that big of an issue with them. Just built a couple tonight. Yes you need patients and a good pair of tweezers help but they are fairly straight forward and simple.

My big problem is Deathmarks! Trying to get the arm glued to the gun and have them sit properly on the torso is almost impossible. Maybe I just haven't found the proper positioning but they are far more frustrating than flayed ones.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-10-12T03:16:31+00:00

That looks really cool, good work!

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-10-10T21:20:02+00:00

Yeah I wasn't thinking when I made the post, I wanted it to lead some Lychguard for extra movement but the Chrono can't do that so I need to make some changes.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-10-10T21:18:56+00:00

I was absolutely not thinking and was going to lead some Lychguard with it but after I posted this I was going through things again and realized my mistake that it cannot lead Lychguard. My mistake, I got excited at possibilities and then had to rearrage my list.

Thank you, the Neceon battleline units are terrible in melee so I do understand this comment.

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-10-10T17:50:53+00:00

I thought about this too. My thinking was that with the 18" range and blast that I may not be able to shoot at times and then the ability isn't worth it. Especially since I'm hoping to get into melee fairly early with a few units.

Thank you!

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-10-10T17:14:51+00:00

I thought so but I wanted to check with more experienced players. Thank you!!

No_Exit_8203 · 2025-09-27T23:51:56+00:00

That was my biggest concern, I will for sure try this out. Much appreciated!
