All from the Arena Rex kickstarter. The models are very nice, though quite fragile - in some cases I had a few breaks - Viatrix's sword for instance - but Red Republic Games have amazing customer service. I was missing one model from my order and a replacement was sent out the day after I contacted them.

Though I moved her shield arm so it wasn't blocking her - not as sensible a pose but can see more of the mini. Also should have rotated the shield design 90 degrees but oh well too late now :p

They're very good, the only odd thing I've noticed is Zahra has metal hands/weapons which is somewhat inexplicable. I'm sure it was explained in a KS update but whatevers. Also a lot of them have veerrry small contact points, like the ball of one foot, so for many of mine I left part of the sprue attached to have a larger surface area to glue down (they're very fine so pinning is almost impossible).

'fraid I don't quite get your meaning but she's nominally 28mm, though as a mythical beast she's giant meaning she'd be ~60mm if she were human.

Part of the model as is - only conversions I did was to Septimus to chop off his head and turn it slightly so he wasn't looking hard left, and Frigge & Otho's shield arms so the shield was covering them less.

Though I must confess it was a rather simple technique - I used flayed one flesh for her exposed skin, and Wychelf for the recesses of the veil. Also did her eyebrows then drybrushed the veil with white. Then just some careful inking to bring out her facial features more.
