Indeed. Friend of mine preordered the Eldar Battle fleet and it arrived 
Monday. It's a fair heap of metal at a not unreasonable (by GW standards

anyway) price. Of course, soon after he ordered they changed the bundle
- 
added another cruiser worth £8 and put the bundle price up by £10...

Exactly that. The idea is that you then glue the pins into each side of
the 
two objects you want to pin together. The trick is doing the drilling
right 
so the bits fit together with the pins in :).
I've found that generally snipping the 'straight' bits of paper clips
make 
'pins' good enough for the job. You just need something fairly thin but 
rigid.
AlthougH I don't use a dremel tool - it seems a bit overkill to me. You
can 
do deep enough holes easily by hand with a pinvice.
