Conquest Games have a new release which is a Genie with a pair of summoners (one male, one female). They'd fit right in.

There were some lovely figures amongst the Helldorado range. You have the start of a nice collection there.

The infantry are from the Helldorado range- I have the Gemie. I bought a set about 10 years ago.  Just took a while for it to get to the top of the pile.  I have gone looking  but the Helldorado range seems to be defunct.

Yeah, a few years ago. They crop up on 2nd hand sites quite often and many retailers still have odd discounted packs around. I picked up a few of the Westerners to use with my Cadwallon Militia unit a few months ago.

So no one picked up the Hell Dorado range then?  Odd, I'd have thought someone would have rescued them from oblivion.  Certainly did have some nice (and unique) sculpts, although I can't say I thought much of the game itself.
