What about a pack of the dudes in the website header? 

Good call, I was just thinking the same thing today. These would make a great heroes pack, either with or without the ones that are already in the dungeon set.

I'd prefer figures that aren't range heroes since you can get these as separates.

What about a pack of the dudes in the website header?  Or at least the ones that aren't in the original Dungeon Pack.

Not 'Heroic' as in the heroes from each of the ranges, but as in suitably posed and look good.  The original Heroes in the Dungeon Pack were all chosen on that basis, and I used the website header as inspiration for those.

If you only want 5 go with the 2 dwarfs and elf front right, the barbarian and the elf behind him - I prefer the small over big nosed dwarfs personally.

Which ones?  From left to right on the website header, we've got:
Hill Dwarf Berserker / Beggar wizard / Hill Dwarf with hammer / Wood Elf with sword / Barbarian Hero / High Elf wizard / Halfling with sword / Dark Elf / Wood Elf general / Wood Elf hero / Hill Dwarf with sword.

Thought the halfling was a dwarf  :-[

Got confused by the barbarian in the initial pack - thought it was the hero not "with sword"

So, I'd go for Hill Dwarf Berserker / Beggar wizard / Hill Dwarf with hammer / Wood Elf with sword / Barbarian Hero / High Elf wizard / Halfling with sword / Dark Elf / Wood Elf general / Wood Elf hero / Hill Dwarf with sword and the tallest knight you make from the historic ranges.

OK then, so:

1 x Wood Elf with sword
1 x Hill Dwarf with sword
1 x Halfling (I'll check on the other poses first)
1 x Knight - not sure on this one, as I don't think we've got anything big enough.  I'll see what we've got.

And we could pop in:
2 x Pack mules

Then we need another figure.  There's a regular Dwarf with a bow, or another Barbarian or Beggar pose? 

Also, from the Accessories, we could use the Wizard, but we've only got 1 in the mould at the moment.  We could also pop a selection of the Artillery Equipment in, from the ECW range.  There's a couple of things in there which could be used as little trinkets.

Shouldn't the elf have a bow and the dwarf have an axe?

Just to stick with the stereotype?

The Elf with bow is already in the Dungeon Pack, but I could swop the Dwarf to an axe if needed?  There's the berserkers with axes?

How about the Skeleton Hero FU26?
Who said all heroes should be nice and healthy? Some unfortunate encouter with an ancient mage of the Ragynoc Tower could have turned one into prince not-so charming!
Six, think of all the special "undead hero" rules you could introduce! (I know I'll score some easy points with this one :) )
Plus, you could also use this mini as a dungeaon boss... two possibilities for the price of one!

Just sayin' :)

I'll probably be looking to do an 'Evil Heroes' pack with the next batch of Theme Packs.

Personally would prefer the more traditional adventurer type to the bare-chested, two-giant-axe wielding version.  :-\

Some of the regular Dwarves are a bit more traditional.

There's a couple, but that range is a bit more chunky than some of the others, and they may not look as good next to the other Heroes.

Hmm, tricky; but then I like the one with the sword from the page header, so am not too bothered about axes  ;)

What about a high elf as a knight type?  They're quite heavily armoured aren't they?

Yeah, I've actually got these sat next to me ready for blackwashing for the website.  They've got kind of quilted/scale armour, which comes right down to the floor.  The sword chap could look quite heroic?
