Following last week's offering we have these four as the red team. They're the other half of the Gotha Knights box and TBH, I was super done with these guys. The fur is pretty OK if patchy but the red parts, especially the big dude's cloak are really phoned in. I did some shading on the metallics but not much.
As I noted last week, these guys probably won't see any game time so I didn't super feel like putting a ton of time into them. I especially disliked their spikey bits and the fact that they wouldn't stay on my large painting handles. My normal painting handles are magnetic with some putty on the top which hold pretty well for single magnet setups. These guys are too big to have a single magnet so they don't work on those. Also, their bases are way, way too big to fit, so they go on the "I can make no assumptions about the configuration of magnets" larger handles made out of ancient and empty paint pots with only putty on top. I don't like using these because they're not super secure and this didn't help.
At any rate, these guys are done and I'm happy with that. Also, you might be wondering why I've got four figs here and my countdown has been decremented by five. Well. As part of the normal prep, the figs in whatever pieces they come in get taken out of the box. I do a dry fit then remove mold lines and whatnot, and then glue them together. Well, one of them was missing an arm. I hope he wasn't too expensive, but I can't exactly assemble him sans arm so I'm taking him off the list entirely.
2025 finished mini counter: 127, 2025 goal figs remaining: 22
