It is the best tool for drilling barrels and barrel ports if you’re into that sort of thing and the current model comes with two different sized bits. They can also be used for pinning, and the two sizes mean you can use things like paper clips or brass rod depending on your project. So I squoose them as hard as I could, and guess what, I noticeably blunted the blade which I could feel by running my finger over them. (crossways not lengthways, don’t try this yourself unless you clearly understand how a blade works!) Otherwise, it is a lot of plastic for a lot of money. 6 blades of decent quality are included and the knife is compatible with other brands’ scalpel blades as well.

If you are a young person walking into a hobby store and need some tools to get started with that box of Space Marines you bought, this is what you’ll be sold. The essential tools are the clippers and mould line remover. And these are ok.

So, I can’t see anything on these that would stop the blades from mashing together, in fact, it was clear that the blades (let’s call them cutting-edges as we can’t confirm if both are blades) were touching. Let’s start with the new mouldline remover tool. To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of the old Citadel mouldline remover. I found the blade was just too large for anything other than tanks and large scenery pieces, and the (for safety reasons) rounded tip made it impossible to reach into tight spots. Comparison of the new and old Citadel Mouldline Remover I’ve long felt that while GW tools are more expensive than most of what you can find out there, they also are solid tools that work well. You’re paying a Citdel tax, but you aren’t getting junk. Accordingly, I’ve used Citadel tools at every stage of my hobby journey and been happy with how they perform. An additional note, they also do not sell replacement blades. So for reference, you need a size-11 Model Blade. (not a scalpel blade they have a different profile and won’t fit.

And, it even comes with a protective shroud so you can keep the blade in place and keep it covered and safe when not in use. I used to work at Vision Express’s head office in Nottingham, (not far from Warhammer World actually) every day on my commute with my friend ( The Writer: David Christopher Johnston). We would make a joke about a local farmer who was selling Dry, Hardwood Logs. Look, I’m gonna be upfront. it’s not a clever anecdote but many of you can probably relate to the crap you talk about on a repeated 1-hour commute.Also, if it’s a flat edge, it’s not a blade. hence the term “Single-Blade”. I’m sorry GW, but how can we expect to take this range seriously if the tool, it’s function and intention is not clearly defined? Citadel Tools: Mouldline Remover Review

Now I’ll go so far as to say these are a functional improvement over the last generation of citadel clippers. Both in use and the ergonomics. Whilst the last generation were the coolest-looking clippers around, they were uncomfortable for all but the people who had larger hands. For reference my glove size is Large and I found them a little too big. For the number of little things we need to cut, this frequently led to overextending fingers to the point they would mildly ache. And despite how cool they looked, this style also added to the weight. I would love to sit in a room with the person who designed this, and the person who signed it off for production. I’d love to know if either of them used it. Oh no, I’m not going to go easy on this at all. When compared to the market it is undeserving of the title “super”, in comparison to the older Fine Detail Cutters, they are finer in comparison. But there are so many other, now cheaper, options out there which are astronomically finer than these. If I were GW, I think they are missing an opportunity here. They should look to reduce the price to match the production quality they now have, and market them as beginner tools. Then they should design and release a series of pro tools aiming to be the best-in-class. So, first off, this is not an NDA thing, it’s just bad practice as a reviewer to directly mention other brands in a sponsored review of a particular product. But I am going to take a moment to remind you that we do have articles discussing the best Hobby Drills (because this one is bad) and Best Clippers (where these are ok, they are just expensive). The hobby-knife is decent at least and puts safety first. And finally, the Mouldline remover is still the best one you can buy, and it’s even better than the last.An additional safety measure is a collar around the blade. Directly above the blade is a thumb grip. The point where you need to add pressure has a ridged sheath, No longer am I pressing down directly on top of the blade itself. Then right where your index finger sits mid-cut, the blade handle has a concave curve to support the correct placement. again, much much safer. The current citadel Mouldline Remover is low-key one of the best items Games Workshop makes. Yes, I know, you can use a hobby knife. However, the dedicated mouldline remover is easier, less likely to err and screw up your model, and is much safer. This is one of those tools you scoff at until you use and then wonder how you ever got on without it. Well, when it comes to cutting fine details. And even I can’t believe I’m going to say this (honestly these articles write themselves). They are fine…
