This is the 40th edition game, which has nice painted metal figures. I set up a game and then rotated around taking photos of nice angles. Getting a wide DOF was hard but I like the results

Colours are good here, but definitely needs sharpening. I don't understand why you went to the trouble of setting up an elaborate scene, only to crop elements off abruptly around the frame...

I like the concept and the colors are good, it seems somewhat soft, it kind of makes the figures look like plastic. To improve on this shot think a human or two would have been good and possibly lit from the top more. Giving the impression that there was actually a game going on (possibly a hand moving on of the figures or dropping the dice).
I also think it might have been better overall had it been shot at a lower angle with the lighting on one side and casting a few shadows. Plus putting you a bit closer to the figures, there is the chance for more of the detail present in your set to be seen. Might require the use of a small box of some type (to set the camera on)to get that low and the delayed shutter to try and keep any movement to a minimum. Of course, you could also only use one or two lights (or lamps) so it makes it darker then bring in some dry ice for smoke. The possibilities are endless with a game like this, so I believe you are on the right track.
