I don't remember any frogs in Homer 

Working link and some photos would probably be better advertising.

Hi , sorry the facebook site is Grimm Miniatures , & The Battle of the Frogs & the Mice  ( The Batachomyomachia ) was thought for a long time to have been written by Homer but now it is thought to be a little later & based on The Iliad , our web site will be up & running soon at www.grimmminiatures.com where hopefully you will be able to see all our releases in full colour . steve

For those not familiar with the story, I attached a link to the book.  This one has illustrations by Herman Munster, really.

You have to love those colorful Iliad-esque death sequences. 
lichenor(beet devourer) cast a flying dart off, and his aim so placed upon limnocharis (the lake lover) .. for through his liver flew the fatal lance, though down the deep waves near shore he, diving, fled;  but fled not fate so; the stern enemy fed death with his life in diving; never more the air he drew in; his vermilion gore stained all the waters, and along the shore he laid extended; his fat entrails lay (by his small guts' impulsion) breaking way out at his wound
gets ya right here 

And the names too:  cnissodioctes  (kitchen-smell haunter)

What a great idea. I like the figures so far and I look forward to seeing the Mice. I had never heard of the book but now I'm intrigued.

Good luck with the range.
