What are the best 28mm figures for Greek Myth games?

Not to mention Perseus and Hercules

The Reaper Hercules inspired this project. I applaud Chairface he is really buried deep in Reaper's catalog.

What, isn't everyone?  I had the Perseus in my hand today at the comic book store but stopped myself from buying it. When would ! ever paint him?

It's a shame you're not into 40mm, as the Spartan Games Heroes of Myth & Legend range are superb.

 I have been soooo tempted by these figures... but I haven't been pushed over the edge in to getting them yet.

 The foundry range are brilliant - but the whole postage thing kills it a bit for me.

I've bought a load of them, I highly recommend giving them a try, even if just for painting up.

 The Wargods Olympus line would be a good place to start.Wargames Foundry would be another great source of miniatures.

Don't have the other minis for comp. shot! Sorry...

And, no, I don't work for BA, I just think that it is an underappreciated one-man show that puts out beautiful minis, and could probably use the business! I'm trying to talk him into doing a small line of Romano-Brits in his Heroic style for some Song of Arthur and Merlin, and I hope he is caving in!

 The Bronzeage stuff is very nice.I have a few mini's from different lines that David does.Great service too.I keep missing out on the sales that come along due to lack of funds.Lots of his stuff that I want too.

If memory serves, Old Glory has some centaur models on the cheap.
Not very nice ones IMO, but they could serve for an encounter or a file and rank situation.

My dear LeadAsbestos,

Here are the horns my dilemma sits squarely upon, the Bronze Age figures are truly wonderful and the price is right, but the line is limited to a dozen figures. I suppose I could add the bikini clad Tales of War Spartans to the mix.



But both these ranges lack archers or peltasts to act as followers for the heroes.

I want some Amazons too, but Bronze Age has on 3. I suppose I could use 28mm, as women are shorter than men.

Here's what I've picked so far;

Here are the Satyrs I plan to use they are from Eureka:

Eureka also has these fine Skeletons:

The Bronze Age figures are a head taller than these which would be fine for the Satyrs but I'm not sure how the skeletons would look with them.

All thoughts and comments welcome.

P.S B. Basiliscus The Bobby Jackson Medusa is hands down the best one ever made. A true copy of the one in the original Jason and the Argonauts film. So we need look no further for her.

The Crocodile Games Greeks scale up perfectly w/ BA. Good clean sculpts too. The leader types get a bit fiddly, but nothing terrible, and the Rank and file are quite nice.

I've seen some Egyptian stuff, but no the Greeks. Can you show a comparison shot? I understand that the have some peltasts id anyone can show me a picture of these I'd greatly appreciate it.

Damn you, 300, for turning the Spartans into homo-erotic icons. That Leonidas figure's Scot strap's almost falling down!

That is more like it!
