Well, this might be a controversial stance, but I kinda like them. I always liked the idea of simple tribesmen living in huge worlds, minding their own businesses. Plus I know how it sounds, but I kinda dig their toony exagreggated design as racist as it might seem. I think this blog describes why I don't think Pygmies or their design are that bad better than I ever could:

Plus, Pygmies are in my opinion kinda kickass in their own way, they are implied to be aliens much like the Old Ones, they manage to survive on Lustria of all places utilizing only stone age technology, and with the same technology they allegedly won against Norsemen. (I think it was in one scenario from the 80's?). Plus the Bahb-Ellon scenario pits them against goblins, giant spiders and even electrical traps and stuff - and guess what, they also manage to win against that utilizing literal sticks and stones!

Anyway, It's a shame they're so rare, I wish I could get myself the full 10 set, with additional doubles of "foot soldier" Pygmies such as Og, Puff, Ugh, Ahg and Arg to make a small warband of these guys. I mean sure, I could go for the Warlord Games Zulu models or some third party Pygmies to make "count-as" Pygmies, but It's not the same for me.

I hope you all understand my stance on the subject of this kinda problematic race.
