Stannis is a great miniature imo, balanced and yet very bulky, more than a nice surprise to me.
Kaya… what’s epic about her? Haven’t figured it out yet. Oh, she got more armor from the Oroboros treasury. The wolf has a nice snout and then - wait, is it canine at all? Unless it had a gorax daddy, it is way too bulky.

Anastasia is by far the best model of the lot. As Trent McCaffrey said, nice and understated.

Stannis, meh, another big brawny dude on a horse.

Kaya, awful mini, should be resculpted. Horrible pose, just looks rubbish.

I think the Stannis mini is my fave (despite being an Orboros fan - without any minis yet).

The paint job on Stannis is really cool too - very well executed.

Anastasia does look pretty cool. I’d have to agree with the consensus, there is nothing wrong with Kaya, but there is nothing new nor inspiring about her either.

For Stannis, he looks pretty cool actually, and PP have finally put out a horse that is not falling over its own feet for a change. :-)

I for one like this new Kaya much better than the old one. It seems to me that the face is better detailed, but I could be misled by the poor picture (Is it me or this whole batch of previews is presented with sub par photographs?).

I like the pose and the sculpt of Stannis, but as per usual I’m unimpressed by the horse. And finally Anastasia looks pretty good, much skinnier than the usual women from PP as Trent mentioned. I can’t see anything on the 360 though, apparently someone got a little excited with the contrast settings.

Anastasia is a refreshing change from Privateer’s usually chunky models. She looks subdued and realistic.

eKaya…sigh. There are so many Matrix-y poses that could have been used, but that one is really just an alternate sculpt. Nothing is screaming BUY ME I’M EPIC. I’m going to use a spare regular Kaya and throw on a fancy base.

Laris…I’ve never been big on armour on the Circle beasts, but I guess they need something to identify them. I think a glowing brand would be more fitting. It’s not like the Circle cares about cruelty…they seem to operate on no pain no gain! :)

gah. i’v had such high hopes for what’s essentialy my favourite caster in the game. if anything Kaya looks worse than the basic model-the extent of her “epicness” is weapon switch and face that looks more pudgy than the orginal one(she’s been hitting the doughnuts of orboros stash?:D). the wolf resambles a boar if anything,way too stocky.

stannis is really nice model, 2hander held high on a horseback may be a bit silly, but whole WM is a bit silly like that:D

Anastasia is just good. not specatcular, but not bad either.
