Maybe you are not getting many responses due to the holidays. I think that you did well. The posing and framing plant the front orc's face in a Rule of Thirds sweet spot, and there is good lighting that provides shadow detail throughout. The texture in the grasses puts some grit in there that the smooth lines of the figures lack (too difficult to cast them with that much detail).
The WB and saturation chosen here keeps a murky mood. Where I see a disconnect in the shot is what your goal was. If you were trying to take a shot of some figures for example to be one that people might look at to purchase them, then you would indeed want more light and DOF. However, with the grass and the backdrop, it seems like you really were aiming for a shot that made them almost look alive and in mid stalk of their quarry. If that is the case, I would suggest bringing the darks darker and blurring the background more (this will also help the lead character pop out and appear sharper), put an asymmetric vignette on the edges, and try to create in post process what a night or twilight scene would have looked like.
Right now, it has good composition but needs lighting drama more consistent with its subjects. Here is my spin...

P.S. Your color space was Adobe RGB for the post, but most web browsers will do a lousy conversion to sRGB automatically. You would do much better to flip it to sRGB yourself prior to posting. Otherwise, your contrast and saturation get nuked.
Using a polarizer will help you with the hot spots in the image.
