Out of my plastic battle box, pLylyth was easy-peasy. Simple assembly, easy to paint.
The Carnivean was a difficult assembly. There are two joins near the tail and the torso that are bare skin, and either leave a gap, or have to be filled and smoothed out. This leaves the jumble of legs/limbs difficult to reach with a brush. Partial assembly is not a good option if you want to fill those gaps.
The Shredders are tiny, with lots of mold lines on the insides of the legs, and fiddly bits to file and clean.
The Succubus wasn't too terrible, just time consuming.
And I'm nearing completing of the Naga Nightlurker. I'd call it the Naga Nightmare. The section where the tail meets the main body is hard to pin, hard to glue, and hard to fill the gap. I've used superglue gel, green stuff putty, testors gap filler AND am going to use a thin coat of white glue to try and smooth it all out. I'm hoping that pinning both the body and tail sections to the base will give it some stability and strength.
In all, I'd say that so far the Everblight models are a bitch to work with, and are definitley not for a beginner. Go with Khador if you're a newbie. My Khador army was, with a few rough spots on the resin/plastic Jacks, pretty simple and straightforward.
Oh, and I got the Man-O-War Kovnik matte coated today. It feels good to get him off the painting table.
