Q: What is the best way to remove Citadel Finecast miniatures from their sprues? Most notably Dark Eldar models like the Succubus, as they are notoriously fragile.
Thanks in advance,

Yeah, use a fresh knife blade, good/sharp clippers and go careful. Clip fairly close to the injection point and clip the thinnest points first. Clipping at a thicker point first will require too much pressure and will flex the component and possibly snap it. After that shave off the nubs possibly pushing against a firm surface depending on the shape of the bits.
The same goes with any fragile or delicate bits.eg 1/35 Dragon weapon sprues, or plastic Malifaux miniatures.
Good luck!
