Does anyone know of any rules that I could use for skirmish fighting Greek Mythology? I have recently painted some Victrix Hoplites, some skeletons, and have some monsters for them to fight. I know of the rules that Foundry made, but I heard that they were not that good. Just wondering if anyone here knows of some good rules, or played the foundry rules.

I wasn't too happy with the Foundry rules either.
You could modify Lord of the Rings if you are desperate, but there is also Labour of the Gods (can't remember the company), and hopefully more to follow in this thread... ;)

Hold out for 7th Voyage from Crooked Dice - they look like they have potential.

Cheers! 7th Voyage is nearly ready to go to the printers. Hard copy will released at Salute, with PDF likely available a bit before that. Included in its 96 pages are profiles for a number of Greek and Arabian Heroes, their supporting cast and all manner of stop motion beasties - with templates to build your own heroes and villains too. Plus six scenarios, a mythic magic system for good measure.

There is also "Labors of the Gods", which is a goalsystem based set of rules. You can download a free sample of the rules and purchase them here.

Paul Ward from Matakishi's Tea House has a great rule set! here is the link. http://www.agon-rpg.com/.

I'm keen on a little Greek Mythology sideline project also since I have a load of old Citadel beasties in storage. I have earmarked 7th Voyage for the job so I was going to suggest that too. I suspect it will have a lot of character and will, most importantly, be fun. Crooked Dice are producing great stuff and I see no reason to doubt this will be any different.

There was a set called Typhon a few years ago.
But I expect 7th Voyage will be a cracker.

I'm playing HAVOC right now, and it's a nice all-purpose melee skirmish game. I'm planning to play it with Greek Myth models next week, so I'll tell you how it went.

Hi,
we have put the Greek mythology in our fantasy world of Naran.
We use our home version of the Rules of Fantasy Warriors.
Sorry, rules and armies lists are in Italian language only.
Just tomorrow we will be at the show Hobby Model Expo, Novegro (Milan), where there it will be a wargame convention organized by the magazine Dadi & Piombo.
We will present a battle of the Greeks, led by Leonidas, against an army of Orcs. In the ranks of the Greeks there will also be Hercules, Bellerophon on Pegasus and Axena (ake Xena).
Next week will put the images of the battle on our site:

Has anyone played this rules?

Typhon is still available from Alternative Armies: http://www.alternative-armies.com/Typhon_Games_Systems___Supplements.htm (http://www.alternative-armies.com/Typhon_Games_Systems___Supplements.htm)

I'll bet the Lord of the Rings game would work for Greek Myth, with the Might and Fate to separate the heroes. I might have to give that a try...

Osprey are releasing a set this summer. Some of the figures are being done by North Star.

In the few playtest games i played, it certainly worked. a basic batrep can be found here:

you'll have to bear with some of the proxy miniatures *mumbles excuses*

Exactly !
I think the LOTR rules system is one of the best and the easiest rules to learn for a battle game involving classical heroes and some kind of magic.... lol
The building of heroes could be very simple if you have an idea of how to creat a point system based on the work of the LOTR variant group (see the files section) : http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/LOTRvariants/ (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/LOTRvariants/)
Special rules are a key point in the rules for heroes : Small change of the main rules to give some "power" to heroes and special beasties (gorgondes, skeleton, spirit, etc.....). :D

Crooked dice have some sneak peeks on their forum of 7th voyage:

Looking good

Ooh shiney! Looking good indeed :)
-
wow !
The picture show exactly what i have in mind on the subject lol
I have some Foundry harpies but i found a good one in the heroclix range
-
So they bought out the pictures from Foundry's Mythology book? That went bye-bye quicker than expected then. :o
Nevertheless, looking forward to CD's take on this. 7TV is a rather nice set of rules, and having staged an Harryhause-themed participation game a while ago, it's a good chance to dig out the figures again.

It's out, PDF only at the moment but the print copy will be at Salute...

Fantastic looking books nd the rules really capture the feel of a stop motion epic
