I was thinking along the lines of

HF - Erm...
HM - Oh...
BS - Ah, that's easy.. umm... no it's not...
SG - Bugger...

Being ruthlessly decisive

HF - Tiriel kneeling
HM - Manbane
BS - Preacher
SG - Rowen

HF-ana or Silvia (Grymn).
Heresy-Lurkers.
Spyglass-Munchkins.
Black Scorpion-Alien.

Obviously I am going to say Grymn for HF...but I like them all!  I just went for Silvia and Ana because they are pretty cool...

Now Black Scorpion needs to make a few more aliens...Mirlo...are you listening? :mrgreen:.

The lurkers are fantastic and even though there have been some great new sci-fi releases, they still top my bill as a Heresey favourite.

The munchkins are just so wrong that they have to be the best of spyglass for me...how can diminutive little hacked up zombies be cute?  EH?  HOW?  Well they are!

Hasslefree - erm...  this one is actually quite difficult.  its Wolf.  or Ashlee.  or...

Limiting myself to what I've actually finished painting (which makes me realise there has been a lot of buying and not enough painting!)

Heresy
Has to be the Yeti (not sure I've finished anything else!)


SG
Only done one, but would have chosen this anyway since I really like the figure -Kage Dar


BS
Has to be the pirate I painted up as the White company officer


HF.
Very hard -The Slayer most impressed me when I saw Kev had actually sculpted a crucifix around her neck (that is when I realised he is probably only a few inches tall-can't think of any other way to get that sort of detail). Many folks like Suzi for some reason. I have a fondness for the Nargs, but the Kens are probably the most successful paintjobs, and if we are counting the white metal the maws were a lot of fun

Damn, that's tough.

Heresy:  Lurkers, soon to be supplanted by the Angel.  Azaroth and the Hellbeasts also deserve very special mentions, as do Gar'Sherr, the ogre with the table and the yeti.  It's just a shame my student budget keeps the nice, bigger stuff mainly out of reach for me right now.

Hasslefree: Grant, Kristian, Pirate Kjaran, Sola, Kalee mk2, Kat, Miranda - No particular order, but I can't decide between them.  Could maybe cut it down to Grant and Sola, but all the others have cool things about them.  Really tough choice.

Black Scorpion:  Not bought much from them, but I do like the baddie with the low hat drawing both his guns.

Spyglass:  L'Nissa, without a doubt.  First FoD mini I bought and still one of the most elegant elves I've seen.

I've been avoiding answering this because it means making very difficult decisions but I suppose I'll cave after much thought and say:
HF - despite the unsurpassed loveliness of Kev's ladies I have to say Mjolnir is my favourite. It's an outstanding sculpt.
HS - Again the gribbliness of the HS monsters is reknowned but I'm going for Dr. Hugh. He is 5 star, grade A ace. (Although from the WIPs the angel may supplant him when it's released)
BS - I love the alien, there's just something about him. Simple and effective and he has cross-over potential as a fantasy spellcaster or even monk type.
SG - This one was quite difficult, as a recent return I haven't seen SG up and running so my knowledge has been cobbled together from bits and pieces and links over the past few months but I love the 54mm Shae, she's just brilliant. Although if Steve ever releases that 54mm dark elf lady she's going straight to the top of list, do not pass go, do not collect £200.

My favorite mini by any of the FoD companies is the 40mm Artemis from Hasslefree.

My favorite Spyglass mini is Inge. I've painted two of her (in my first year of painting) and I think I still have 2 more to paint in the future.

Heresy - unfortunately I don't have much Heresy stuff yet (they aren't as easy to find here), but of the ones I own, I'll vote for the lady Vampire (Lady Elysabet if I'm reading it right through the price sticker).

I don't own any Black Scorpion yet (I've never seen their figures in real life, only pictures). Not sure if there are any distributors for it here in the US.

Next year, I guess I need to buy more UK minis.

New guy here:

Anyway my picks would be:

Hasslefree: Ashlee (followed closely by Grant and Ray)
Heresy: Dr Hugh McCrimmon (followed by Vincent B. Ruddock)
Black Scorpion: Biker w/ Babe
Spyglass: Shae

Evidently decisiveness is not one of my better qualities...
