With M3E came some new sculpts and rearranging of existing crew boxes. December Acolytes got a resculpt and promoted to the main Rasputina box. Since I already had the Nightmare Rasputina set, and preferred the old sculpts, I went out and found a set of the old December Acolytes.

They seem generally useful, especially as an anti-armor counter pick.

For color scheme I went with the same burgundy red cloaks and Rasputina, and then filled it in from there.
The Hoarcats come three to a box. Back in the day, it was a Hoarcat Pride, and intended to all sit on the same 40mm base. Now they’re individuals, but seem undersized for a 40mm.

The solution, of course, is to build up the base.
Hoarcats (pair)
I don’t see myself taking three cats, so I still put this pair on a single base. I wanted them to be fighting, but I managed to misalign one when gluing down. Ah well.
Paul Crockett has a lot of nice textures to work with. I especially amused myself by painting his coonskin cap as if it were alive. Perhaps Paul’s hat is his closest friend.
The Scorpius is a construct, but I wanted a metallic green that wouldn’t be out of place on an actual scorpion. I believe this is TurboDork’s Electrum.

The legs were hard to assemble, and I didn’t end up getting all the feet on the ground at the same time. Ah well, close enough.
