So I have been slowly building up my dwarfs over the past few days and I have noticed that the top and bottom half of the dwarfs don't fit properlyt together and you end up with gaps, some of which are pretty large and noticable. I was wondering if anyone else has found this and if there was anything you guys could suggest? I have tried doing all sorts of part combinations but I still get gaps, I think i will just have to green stuff them.

It can vary a bit, model to model, but yeah...usually there are gaps. Putty or greenstuff is the general answer.
Of course, I hate the modelling side of things with a passion, so I just put mine together as best I could and then painted them. On the table, the gaps don't bother me. YMMV though.

I removed all the little pegs before I assembled mine. That allowed a bit more manueverablilty when gluing them together which seemed to help with some of the gap issues.

Yeah I removed the pegs too. Ah well will just take a little bit of modelling work to get rid of them then.
Cheers

Likewise, clipped the pegs off both my dwarfs and undead, they just don't fit.

I found the undead to be fine. Ditto cutting the pegs off the dwarfs though.

Havent started the undead yet, are there any gaps with those? I have to say I do love Mantic's style. Absolutely brilliant models.

The odd, very minor gap on a skeleton. Remove pegs again. Plastic glue soon fills the gaps  nothing like the gaps in the dwarf range though. |

same as other people, i cut off the pegs. you're left with a very minor gap that a black undercoat hides wonderfully.  |
