Setup and Assembly

The C'Tan Shard of The Void Dragon is a multi-part plastic kit that requires assembly. Follow these general guidelines for best results:

1. Preparation: Carefully remove all components from the sprue using plastic clippers. Use a hobby knife or mold line remover to clean any mold lines or excess plastic from the parts.
2. Dry Fit: Before applying glue, dry fit the components together to ensure a proper fit. This helps identify any potential issues and allows you to plan your assembly sequence.
3. Assembly: Apply a small amount of plastic glue to the joining surfaces and firmly press the parts together. Hold them in place until the glue sets. Work in sub-assemblies (e.g., body, limbs, base) to make painting easier before final assembly.
4. Base Assembly: Attach the assembled model securely to the provided 80mm Citadel round base. Ensure the model is stable.

For detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions, refer to the guide included in your product packaging or visit the official Games Workshop website.

Painting and Display

Once assembled, your C'Tan Shard of The Void Dragon is ready for painting and display.

1. Priming: Apply a thin, even coat of primer to the entire model. This prepares the surface for paint adhesion and provides a uniform base color.
2. Painting: Use acrylic hobby paints to bring your model to life. Apply thin coats to preserve detail. Experiment with different techniques such as layering, washing, and drybrushing to achieve desired effects.
3. Varnishing: After painting, consider applying a protective varnish to safeguard your paint job from wear and tear.
4. Display: Place your finished model on a stable surface. Consider a display cabinet to protect it from dust and accidental damage.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure your C'Tan Shard of The Void Dragon remains in excellent condition:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause paint to fade or plastic to warp.
• Handling: Handle the model by its base whenever possible to avoid damaging delicate parts or paintwork.
• Repairs: Minor breakages can often be repaired with plastic glue. For more significant damage, consider using hobby-specific fillers and repainting the affected area.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure all mold lines are removed. Sometimes, a small amount of sanding or filing may be necessary for a perfect fit. Do not force parts together.
• Paint Not Adhering: Ensure the model was properly primed before painting. The surface should be clean and free of oils or dust. Apply paint in thin coats.
• Broken Components: If a part breaks during assembly or handling, use plastic glue to reattach it. For very small or intricate breaks, a small amount of super glue can be used, but exercise caution.
• Missing Parts: If you find any components missing from your kit, please contact Games Workshop customer support with your product details.
