I know it's less than optimal but now that they are T4 I might equip a unit of them with Halberds.  Might look nice on the table.

BTW, did anyone find that glueing the Knights together as painful as I?

Painful as in difficult, or in prickly? I'd like to hear some comments on that regard as well.

Not "ouch" but difficult.  The knights were difficult to glue, must be all thumbs...

They were not as easy as regular knights, or infantry. I didn't think they were that difficult, but they were not something I would recommend doing while inexperienced or drunk.

I left some skin on one of the Demigryphs, and somehow ended up with superglue on my teeth that took about 3 days to finally get off.

So yes, I'll agree that they were difficult to assemble.

They are all moulded detail - the exception is the sunface which is a piece applied to the front to cover the join. See my plog for details of what I did (I used the sunface elsewhere and used a shield icon). It would, however, be the matter of a few minutes work to trim off the nose thing and cover the gap with a shield icon or somesuch.

Compared to the old STank, I found the Demigryphs easy.  :engel:
