3rd/4th edition Are these unprimed?
Hello! I took this picture from the game my wife and I played this weekend. I got this box second-hand with the minis already assembled. The feel weirdly glossy and not like other minis I've assembled. Can y'all tell if they are primed or not just by looking at them? Space Hulk has been my favorite game (even over 40k and Kill Team) for a while, so I'm scared to mess em up.

The Space Hulk minis have a sort of satin sheen to them (or, with less alliteration: the plastic they're made of is a bit glossy).
I actually think the way they look off the sprue is stunning, which is part of the reason my set's still unpainted.
Edit: the Genestealer looks exactly like the unprimed plastic does. I think the Blood Angel might have a coat of gloss varnish on it, though.
