Shadows of Brimstone - unboxing the minatures... (SoB 2)

Hello all,
So the game itself (as unboxed here) appears to be top quality - I even tried the first mission in a quick little solo-adventure and the rules seems (for the most part) to beeasily understandable and it was quite fun.
How about the minis?
Well my initial impression was very good. The character minis are very well-detailed and looks like they will be great fun to paint.

Half the characters - Cowboy, Saloon Girl, Bandidos, and a Marshall.

So too the largest monsters:

The Harbringer - looks absolutely brilliant. Here without the wings - never going to paint it with those on it!

 But after several hours and a large portion of super glue, I have come to the conclusion that the average monster is somewhat lacking in detail. Both as in they are a bit flat but also in that the detail that has been sculpted on to them is often blurred by the manufacturing process.

I've painted a few handfuls already and these have confirmed my 'fears' - these are minis made for drybrushing and to get any type of hyper-detail onto them you will need to be a brillliant freehand-painter. at least much better than I am.

A few shots of the horde may reveal the issue, although it is difficult to see unless you have the minis up close.

These Hungry Dead (zombies) are brilliant - I especially like the old miner still waving his pick axe

Another shot of the Harbringer - quite scary...

On the right are some of the numerous Tentacles

The other large monster - a Goliath - great face, but apart from this and the tentacles, there are no details whatsoever.

Anyways, they are 'just' minis for a boardgame so I am not really complaining. I'll give them a quick paint job and be ready for the first game with the majority of the monsters, and show them on this blog as soon as possible. Hopefully :-).
All the best,
Kasper
