{"product_id":"ballad-of-the-street-cats-gang-fighters","title":"Ballad of the Street Cats Gang Fighters","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ballad of the Street Cats Gang Fighters brings eight ruthless, street-hardened warriors to your tabletop, each one bristling with attitude, patchwork armour, and an arsenal that means business. These fighters look like they have survived every back-alley skirmish the underhive can throw at them, and they carry the scars and swagger to prove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe squad of eight covers a solid range of combat roles. Automatic rifles, compact pistols, and a bladed knuckle weapon give you genuine tactical variety across the gang. Poses are varied and full of character: one fighter braces wide-legged with a long-barrelled rifle raised, another drops into a low crouch to sight down the scope, a third thrusts a spiked fist skyward in a rallying gesture, and others stride forward with pistols levelled or held at guard. Each figure reads clearly on the tabletop while still feeling like part of a cohesive crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetail throughout is sharp and purposeful. Knee pads, utility belts, skull tokens, dog tags, layered coats, and strapped boots give each fighter a lived-in, street-level look that rewards careful painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSculpted by 42studio, these resin miniatures arrive with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready to assemble where needed and prime straight away. Figures stand approximately 28 to 32mm scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePainting Guide: Ballad of the Street Cats Gang Fighters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe squad rewards a gritty, worn palette that leans into urban decay and street-gang character.
