Fiends of Slaanesh conversion: Need Some Input

Just like many in this hobby, I have many armies. One of my favorite to play, well used to be, was my Emporer's Children army. With the release of the current codex, the style of that army was never the same and I stopped playing it.

Fast forward to the release of 6th edition and the inclusion of allies. Now all those lovely Slaanesh daemons that have been taunting me, are now able to be included in a EC army. Even with the renewed joy of playing my Children, I still have a small problem. The current model GW makes for Fiends of Slaanesh are hideous. I can not state in words how much I dislike them. They have a great profile though. So I have to come up with a replacement. I decided to use Tyranid Ravagers as the base with a bit of work to convert them into some thing depraved enough. Here is the pics, afterwards my thoughts.....

Step by Step: Pinning

     No matter what draws you to our hobby or what segment of the hobby you enjoy you will inevitably encounter metal models. If you prefer gaming you will most likely have at least one or two models in your army/force that are metal. If you prefer the modeling/painting aspect, some of the most dynamic and interesting models are made of metal. So you will find over time that super glue just does not hold well enough for those pieces such as arms, hands, or whatever you have. Well pinning is a good way to overcome this.

     Basically pinning is the process of drilling a hole in both pieces to be joined and gluing a piece of wire or rod in the hole. This increases the amount of area that has glue on it, and thus strengthens the hold. This post will cover the steps I take when pinning as well as some of the pitfalls I have learned to avoid along the way.
