In terms of a video representation of a PnP look, I still prefer the Battle Brothers approach of using a bust figurine. I wouldn't mind seeing that approach in a heroic fantasy setting using modified D&D rules.
I'd rather tokens over the bighead busts/bobbleheads. At least the artwork on the tokens themselves is articulate. I'm going to have a ton of fun with this one (currently playing the first KotC for the first time, it's pretty good.)
Dude, if you're currently playing the first game, I truly envy you!! You are going to have weeks of pure entertainment, believe that!!! Fluent also brings up something I agree with, given a choice I'd take the current token-ish look over silly bobbleheads or busts.
