The were-wolves are really old Harlequin Miniatures, sculpted by the terrible and ancient Tony Ackland. Not sure if anyone does them anymore.

I used that photo because it's not in the book.

This is the photo. It's Cernunnos bringing his Celts against Thor's Norse. The Duergar, Cernunnos and Fenris Wolf are official OGAM (Of Gods and Mortals) figures. The Norse in the background are a mix of Crusader and Artizan Vikings and the Celt hero is an old Alternative Armies Celt. I mentioned the were-wolves before, what is of note is I actually painted those, a rare occurance, and it was just to a gaming standard. I did them for a LotR project, they were to be Sauronic were-wolves.

Looks like they're still available through Blacktree

Thanks Nick.   :D

I might just risk ordering them. It's something I can tell the grand kids about...

Got the werewolves and they're not bad. I believe those were part of a never realised Slaine range Harlequin were supposed to do.

The fenris wolf looks great!

Wasn't the Slaine range Fantasy Forge, from the same period? 'Cus by co-incidence, we've got the Fomorian moulds from that range and we're going to sell them as part of the OGAM Celt faction  :o

Pleaase please tell me that the Slough Feg mini is part of that release! :-*

And BTD has a US distributor that has done a great job w/ all my orders. I've heard the UK one has improved considerably as well.

Ares, Fenris and Cernunnos are lookin' good. :) (Even if once again, a mini sculptor doesn't get hooves. ;D )

Yay!! Good news. All Roy Eastland sculpts? Can't find any reference anymore about Harlequin/Slaine neither here or on FU! UK. :/ but I'm sure I read it somewhere.

Black Tree was awarded a position on my personal shit list several years ago. I have not heard enough good about them since then to take them off it.

Has any thought been given thought to playing battles within a pantheon rather than pantheon versus pantheon? For instance I would be very interested in playing Ragnarok or Celtic gods versus Fomorians, or Olympians vs Titans.  Otherwise isn't this just a rehash of Wargods? What's different about this game that should make me want to play it instead of that (other than the awesome figures)?
