Lending a Helping Hand

If you’ve been looking closely at the pictures of my Nurgle Daemon battle reports you might have noticed two of the Plague Bearers on my Plague Flys are missing their hands.

It’s been a running joke amongst my friends that they should be -1 Attack per model until I get them fixed. Well, I finally got the magnets. I need to re-magnetize the bases so I figured now was the time. One hand was in the box with the rest of the army, but I couldn’t find the other one. I located a marauder Horseman hand with flour that I was going to paint up and attach, but I had a last-minute epiphany after I primed it for paint. I remembered I had a tiny box full of broken miniatures with a few random things that had fallen off pieces over the years. At the bottom of the box, and a Ziploc bag full of painted shields and other ephemera I need to glue back on. I found the other hand! His hand must’ve been sitting in that box for over 10 years, after all, I haven’t used my Daemon army since 8th edition! I was also able to find my pin vice and a super small drillbit so I pin the two hands on and I’m ready to spread full attack terror once more!

I always tell my wife I’m not hoarding, looks like I’m right!
