My custom army is underway, but apart from having to buy more paints, I want to get some bits for everything. I want to replace a lot of the Imperium symbols with crosses & other Christian imagery, but of course finding bits of such things is “difficult” to say the least. The alternative (apart from buying my own 3D printer, which I doubt I can afford) would be to mold such things using some form of Green Stuff. I do have a pot of Citadel’s liquid green stuff, but I’m not sure if that can be easily molded (if it even can be), so I have once again come to the Bolter & Chainsword to politely pester you all with my questions: How would I go about molding bits? What kind/brand of molding stuff should I use/look for? Does anyone know anyplace online that sells Christian imagery bits? Am I really as annoying as I think I am? As always, I appreciate any & all help, thank you for your time & God bless!

I recently got my first Warhammer 40K models & was pretty much blindsided by the fact that, unlike the free model I got from the store, the ones I bought online were not in twist-off frames, nor were the models snap-together & require cutting tools & (the biggest shock to me) glue. Obviously I was a little naive to think that all models would be snap-together or that assembly would be quick & easy, but in my defense I had never bought any Warhammer models before. Given that they sell cutting tools & glue, I should have figured as much, but that does lead to another problem I have: money or lack there of… I saw the cutting tool at my local game store selling for over $50, but I have been able to use nail scissors for cutting them out, but as cheap as the glue is (selling for about $8) I am already low on money & any expenditures could tip my account into the red. Until I get paid again I wanted to ask if there are any good alternatives (preferably household) that I can use instead. I have Gorilla glue, but I don’t know if that is a good alternative or if it might be unwise to try. I have heard that some people will use magnets for certain parts to make them interchangeable (something I would love to do when I can afford it), but I wouldn’t have the faintest idea of how to do this & frankly I can wait until I have the money to do this, so my main question is: Are there any recommendations on what glues I can/should use & would gorilla glue be alright? Thanks for any & all help & God bless!

That's it. That's the thread. I'm just wondering how good of an idea it would be
