Info from the associated blogpost:

"Mass Effect Miniatures By Gavin Dady Art by David Benzal October sees the launch of Mass Effect The Boardgame - Priority: Hagalaz. In it, Commander Shepard and their band of loyal squadmates take on a new mission to explore a crashed Cerberus Cruiser on the storm-wracked world of Hagalaz. Within the cruiser they will face many dangerous enemies, from the survivors of the Cerberus crew, native life and even the dangerous captives and experiments that Cerberus were keeping aboard the ship. The enemies are represented by thick, full colour, illustrated card tokens in the game, but Modiphius are also producing a range of 32mm, multipart miniatures to compliment them. As with our previous Fallout and The Elder Scrolls miniatures, these are highly detailed resin collectors miniatures.    In this first phase of miniatures, we are concentrating on the core sets required to build up the forces for the board game. The first of these is The Heroes of the Normandy Alpha. It includes six miniatures in alternative poses for the PVC sculpts from the board game.  Commander Shepard is represented in both male and female versions. Armed with the M-8 Assault Rifle or her M-3 pistol and Omni-blade, Shepard is ready to take the fight to their enemies. Shepard also comes with optional parts to depict them with either bare head or their iconic helmet from their N7 armour. The former C-Sec officer, Garrus Vakarian, has been by Shepard’s side from their earliest days as a SPECTRE and is depicted in his role as one of the galaxy’s premier snipers (arguments about who is the better shot between Shepard and Garrus aside). Garrus is depicted with his signature M-92 Mantis rifle, repaired armour and the scars he gained as The Archangel. Next amongst Shepard’s staunch allies is Dr. Liara T’soni. A powerful Asari biotic, expert on the ancient Prothean race and, secretly, the powerful underworld figure The Shadowbroker. Liara  is depicted initiating one of her powerful biotic abilities, energy crackling around her hand. Tali’Zhora Nar Rayya is the young Quarian that Shepard first met whilst pursuing the rogue SPECTRE Saren. Tali is a gifted engineer and staunch advocate for the Quarian people. She is depicted with her drone, Chatika, who can be modelled attached to Tali’s Omni-tool, or kept separate to act as a marker during gameplay. Rounding out the squad is Urdnot Wrex, the veteran mercenary and leader of Clan Urdnot. Wrex is a powerhouse in battle, utilising biotic abilities, a powerful M-300 Claymore shotgun and, more than once, a well placed head-butt. As well as these miniatures, we are also producing further sets to compliment the boardgame, including Reaper Forces, Cerberus Troops and some of the Priority Threats that you will face as you make your way through the crashed cruiser. These sets are ideal for upgrading the tokens in the base game, or for use in any miniatures skirmish game (like Five Parsecs from Home) or for miniatures collectors everywhere. Look out for special collectors and gameplay bundles available exclusively from Modiphius  when the Mass Effect Board Game pre-orders go live soon! In the meantime, you can sign-up for more Mass Effect news here."

Coming along nicely, isn’t it?

humans in mass effect are total space unicorns

- they get an embassy 8 years after first contact was made

- seat on the council 26 years after establishing first contact. some species that have been around for centuries haven’t gotten one yet — such as the volus made first contact 300 bc which is over two millennia. and the turians had to deploy the genophage first to get one

- takes 26 years for the humans to have their first spectre

- it’s commander shepard, a human, who stops saren and the geth, the collectors and the reapers, saving the whole galaxy

- humans invented medigel, which is a groundbreaking invention

- cerberus has insane wealth and reach.. a human organization, that takes over omega in omega dlc

- humans have thousands of colonies across the galaxy (tim: ‚hundreds of thousands of colonies have vanished‘)

- humans are apparently the most genetically diverse species

- their genetic diversity is also which is why collectors are attacking them

- which is also why humans are immune to the plague

- the claymore shotgun, loved by krogan, is made by humans

- huerta memorial, the citadel’s best hospital, is founded by humans

- the blue suns, one of the terminus system’s major merc groups was founded by a human, and is full of human mercs

- most dangerous bounty hunter & merc in the galaxy is human (zaeed)

- new leader of blue suns; human (vido)

- humans can have asari matriarch power levels (jack, or that girl from the novels). even kaidan alenko has levels that are probably on par with an asari commando. and kaidan can reave!!

- humans have the best gene modding tech available (miranda.. oriana..)

- human lifespan is on average 150 years though miranda can live to 225, which means that the oldest humans get this age (some even without gene mods). however, humans are new to the galaxy, and their potential lifespan hasn’t reached their full potential yet, meaning with more and more research humans could reach a way higher average than 150, and possibly more than 225. with cybernetics / implants this could go up even more. it’s very possible some day humans will reach an average of 200? who knows but 150 is almost double than the current human average lifespan of 80! so 200 on average isn’t unlikely, which would make them some of the older species since turians, quarians, drell & batarians don’t reach those ages

- lots of humans working for c-sec!

- humans have top tier cybernetics (shepard..)

- first person who is brought back from the dead is a human, by a human organization. the genius that does this, is human

Vinland Saga

Is my anime suggestion. Beautiful animation and style, refreshing storyline and main character.  I’m tempted to do a crossover of Saren (my Claymore OC) into the universe. It’ll be interesting.
