Fantasy Skirmish

[Faust23]

I'm searching for some good fantasy skirmish rules.
I enjoyed Mordheim but I'm searching something different (preferably non-GW).
It should...
...allow 5 - 10 miniatures each player.
...not be tied to a certain background.
...not keep to fixed army lists.
...allow free character construction and equipment.

Please help me, I'm searching desperately.

My game Strike Force Commander is exactly what you have listed above.  However, the retail ruleset won't be out until sometime in October.  Straight on its heels will be the sci-fi/fantasy expansion Epic Heroes.

I just posted some pics on my blog showing a 500 Supply Point campaign game between me and my friend Drew.  He used his Wood Elf minis to make the Wind Song Harmony force, and I used my Dark Elf scouts to make the Skulltakers Sacrifice.  You can see a few pics here at http://4sparta.blogspot.com/

Skulldred.  Written for that in mind.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Song of Blades and Heroes.
