Cube heads: I also have called these the Licorice Warriors, the beads resemble some Scandinavian licorice herrings I recieved from @little_clay_idiots on insta with a few miniatures I ordered. I left the hole in the bead front facing to have an eerie space in their heads, I also ended up sculpting a bit more on one of their shields as well as added more sculpey bits. For basing I used a textured fiber paint for the first time, I like how it came out.

I feel this group could be used as bounty hunters or rival explorers found in the wilderness. They also have a cantina vibe, so using them as background npc characters would work as well.
