I would make the head part larger and give the stem part a curved profile instead of a straight one.

what will that do ..slide blankly(not a bad idea). but maybe giving it a face and to do that ,do you have room for a face or maybe arms with swords.. imho..it needs more fear ....so far i love it and looks great ..and i think fit the game.

I am sceptical about that. I think they might not look like chess pieces anymore when they got arms and faces.

The problem is that when you see these figures in a different context they look like soldiers and not like chess pieces anymore.

The cross is a bit out of perspective, and maybe you could mimic the texture used in the tileset?

The textures are the GIMP default patterns "Granite #1" and "Marble #1" with some color corrections.
