The legionaries and KDM-ish Archimandrite are my favorites. The Praetorian guard look pretty decent, although maybe not for their most likely price. Everything else in the range looks goofy or old hat.
I am pretty happy with the heroes, the cavalry and the infantry (minus the moroi). Now, I need to see the golems up close and painted, because i really disliked the brutes in the catalogue but quite liked them in the flesh.
Two new command upgrades for the Dweghom and 100 Kingdoms, i hear rumors that in the new version of First Blood command upgrades will play a bigger role.
I don't know if it's the FW-MESBG paint job on the face, but the Mnemancer looks pretty horrid and it's surprising when most of their recent Dweghom sculpts have been great.

The "crazy old coot" face is what kills it for me. Sort of expected a young and regal dwarf considering the distinguished position Mnemancers play in Dwarf society.

My main issue is how he's setting such an unrealistic body standard with that thigh gap. In all seriousness I do understand how Dweghom look but this seems incongruous with the rest of the line.
That said I still like the mini overall. Face a bit off maybe; I'd have to see it in person. My favorite part is actually that cool obelisk he's chiseling.
Here's one of the battle reports on my channel. This one follows a more photo play by play as opposed to live playing (due to covid and not having opponents to play against at the time)

Had my very first three games Yesterday.Won 1,drew the next one and lost the third.
Liking the game so far and loads to learn and remember.
I was playing against the Vanguard for the event who had two giants.One Mountain and one Ice.I managed to kill the Mountain one.
I saw someone say somewhere (either facebook or discord IIRC) that one of the lead designers, etc. hates the idea of them and doesnt want to add them to the game or something. Maybe that person is slow-rolling it or put a stop to it entirely and is hoping that by not mentioning them people will forget?

It was Stavros, the founder of PBW. So yeah, if he really does not want them then they will never happen.

Time to vote with our wallets! Quick, somebody design some third party MFG models so we can all buy them!
They have plans to add them as retinue models for your characters.
You characters in Last Argument of Kings can buy as an upgrade up to 3 tiers of retinues (Combat, Tactical and Magical) so you can add up to 3 models in his stand to represent them.

The fish gnomes are going to be a retinue upgrade??
