Sure its more impressive techwise, but in the field units tend to blend into background.
It was sharp, easy to tell apart and see details. Both models and art panels.
Every piece of art was so good you want it on the wallpaper.

Now artwork is so underwhelming its not even funny and design...
Old Broken Lords units looked majestic and intimidating, also distinct one from another new ones just completely lack any character at all, not to mention that they use and overuse same golden armor as Kin, so already blurry units also blend not only among themselves but are also
Yeah I can tell them all apart, but they all are so same*y.
Every nation had cool looking units, independents were also interesting and unique, like every unit was memorable. In style and poses. Intimidating, weird, mysterious or powerful looking. Now its mostly some lizards, bats and scrawny toy soldiers animated so you cant really say what they are doing.
