Cutting warrior heads off the sprue.

[Toby_Travis]

How do you do it without ruining the head?

It seems GW wanted to make it as awkward as possible to cut them off well, two connecting bits on either side of the face on the curvy bit that needs to be done perfectly or the whole thing is ruined.
You can't even sand down any mistakes you make either 'cus it's on a tiny tiny curve.

I wish they made it like the heads of the immortals where it is just a simple cut over a flat surface...

sprue cutters ---> exacto ---> fine sand paper

AND a steady hand and calm attitude

What is exacto? (from the UK, never heard of it before)

Exacto is a brand of hobby knife.

I've used this knife with a few blades over the last few years... cut my hand open a few times with it (was tired lol) so I can vouch for how sharp the damn thing is lol

[Aeviaan]

^^ That is an exacto. Hahaha.

My file does a good enough job getting the extra plastic off...

I use wire cutters seeing as they're less dangerous **cough, cough** Cryage. and they work just fine.

I use the citadel clippers as well, they're probably the 1 great citadel product to buy and have served me well for two years now. I just use the knife to shave down the plastic that is left or for tight areas the clipper cant squeeze in to.
