Tools needed to assemble minis to a very basic finish:
Dikes (side cutters, wire cutters, snips, whatever )
Cyanoacrylate glue. Super glue, Krazy glue, Hobby glue.
Hobby sand paper. Super light to medium grit stuff. Scuffing up the surface of a part can help it stick pretty decently. YOu don't necessarily need to score it with a hobby knife.
Jeweler files
These few items can get your minis looking pretty decent pre-paint. Corvus Belli delivers excellent minis, so flash and off-center molds aren't really a problem. Cleanup the sprue parts with a file and sand paper and glue it all together!
Use mild soapy warm water before gluing because the oils on your hand and such can be problematic for the glue.
Cyanoacrylate is a water-catalyzed glue. Breath on it, or dip the part in watter to flash-cure the outside portion of the glue. Breathing on it is slower. Water almost isntantly makes the glue cure when exposed.
A simple art store and a hardware store can get you serviceable tools, I think. :)
