[QUOTE="Kris, post: 7397341, member: 3745"] Struggling to get an OK photo of these ...so this will have to do: [img]https://s19.postimg.cc/m0b8t3h5f/spiders.jpg[/img] These are the first mini's I've (speed) painted from the new(ish) Nolzur's Marvellous Miniatures range, and while the sculpts are great I have a few issues: [B]Pros:[/B] Great sculpts/poses - plus, with the inclusion of the web-covered humanoids, it's like getting everything you need to run a little mini-encounter in one box (though you're actually supposed to use the bodies on one of the bases). They're also pretty cheap :) [B]Cons:[/B] Flash/mould-lines ...which are more of a pain than usual because of the material, and because the minis come pre-primed (so once you clean them up, they'll probably need a bit of re-priming anyway). Bases are a bit too small (I've used 30mm mdf bases instead of the ones supplied). Plus I generally don't like pre-primed mini's (I usually prime in black in any case) ...plus it seems as though the primer has gone on a little thick on some of the other miniatures I've bought from this range. The 2nd piece of 'base decoration' you get with these spiders is essentially useless. * * * * But on the whole, I'd say they're not too bad (despite my misgivings), and I actually prefer them to the similar sized reaper bones ones I have.
