I recently got into Mini's and the two that gave me trouble were the Kodiak, because I didn't like the pose and tried to tweak it, and the Warhammer, which needed a lot of carving to make it work. If the Warhammer had been my first I might not be on this forum. That being said, if I had been smart enough to search for building guides and had learned the putty tricks I probably would have been fine. I prefer posing options to simplicity myself, but with your first mini when you are in a hurry to get it on the board it's easy to get frustrated.
