Well, you can use Super Glues ( what ever the name might be in your
country) or 5 minute epoxy. Of these 2 the epoxy makes a stronger
bond. Super Glue is fast and simple, but the joint is weak laterally. 

You can also use the Thick Super Glues ( gap filling super glue is what
it is normally called), but I haven't found it as strong as epoxy.

And as we are talking about miniatures 'for game playing', I'd
recommend the 5 minute epoxy.... even though making tidy joints isn't
as easy as with super glue.....
