Dark Fantasy:
Metal Beards and Sons of Kashan Vra
Titan-Forge has released a second wave of its Kickstarter funded "Metal Beards" and "Sons of Kashan Vra" ranges of steampunk themed good and evil dwarves. This series of miniatures and warmachines is pretty extensive now and it allows to build a full army of both sides. I really like the look of these figures, especially the bad guys. You can check all available miniatures here:

Fantasy miniatures seem to be less popular then Sci-Fi nowadays, but Titan-Forge has released not only Metal Beards, but also new figures for its Daemonic Kingdoms range. Skybeasts are released as a set of 3 miniatures, you can buy it for 20 EUR.
