Nice. Maybe show us a closeup on thos ratmen. Is it converted skaven? Or mantics rats? Its hard to tell.
Right now i'm assembling a 2nd squad of 6 desert not-arab-guys, and while i like the Black Guard as base, their sprue layout is flawed.
There is only one way to build them, which is with spears. I guess thats fair, since its a historical unit of spearmen, but still. The banner and other command bits that are included are nice, but they "steal" a big amount of space from that sprue. Here it really becomes an issue that they do one sprue boxes only, so you end up with 4 flag bearers and 4 drummers between 24 figures if you would build all 8 of them.. which would be silly. But if you dont, you end up with almost 1/3 of the plastic of your kit being unused. 4 Sprues of Spearmen, and maybe a half sized sprue with command bits would have been a better solution. Especially considering they could have added that small command sprue into their 2nd arab infantry set as well. That one has bows and melee weapons, but no command bits at all. But maybe both kits are intended to be used together in the first place.
Enough blogposting.
The plastic is very good quality, very sharp (especially compared with earlier Fireforge stuff like the Templars or Russians), and they finally got rid of the stupid puddle bases for their miniatures.
Size-wise, they match Northstars Stargrave stuff pretty much 1 to 1, the arms with rifles fit to those bodies pretty much perfectly.
