Here is another possibly good dungeon themed pack, especially now with those gorgeous new minotaurs released by Pendraken:

I think it could be a good idea. What do you think?

Really well painted and a great idea Javier 8). It takes me back to the film 'Jason and the Argonauts' and the Ray Harryhausen special effects. When I was young I thought the skeletons were amazing.
Excellent - top-notch =D> :-bd =D>
Very, very nice :-bd
Excellent, nice conversion work as well on those Greeks. 8)
Loving that 8)
Thanks for the kind words gents. I'll try to post Satyrs and Centaurs next week :)
Wow! I love them. I like Greece Mith background. This year holliday I hope to visit some Minoan archeo sites. I also read you post on TMP, yesterday. In your opinion is "Labors of the Gods" a good skirmish sistem?

I have read it but I haven't played it yet. It's been designed to play Mordheim style; that is, to design a band of 3 or 4 heroes and up to 5 or 15 followers , and fight an opponent in one of the five scenarios available. It has a section of afterbattle ala Mordheim where your characters gain coins, equipment, experience and new abilities.
The game system is with opposing D6 rolls, the activation one figure me, one figure you but you can hold your action and interrupt later on. there are no charts, the combat system looks fun and simple.
In a nutshell, it looks like a good ruleset to play games with its campaing ala Mordheim but perhaps not so fun after some single games.
Hope that helps
looking really cool!
I love everything about this, the Greek Mythology, the figure conversions, the painting (which is top notch), the execution of the idea, its all really excellent.

Thanks Blacksmith for the informations. I' m looking for a skirmish ruleset for War of Troy, so your preview is very usefull for me.
As promised, here are the Fauns, though they're not Pendraken's. But Pendraken sells Fauns as well.

EDIT: Pics resized.
Thank you for the resize! :)
No bother! To resize an image, you need to add a width tag to it, so in the first set of image brackets, it would look like this [img width=900]. The number is the pixels wide the image will display at, so 1000 will be the full screen width, 500 is half the screen, etc...

No, no. I never said the Harpies were from Pendraken, and now you mention them maybe it's been a bit rude from me to publish them here. You have all the info in my blog.
Cheers,
*Edited: I was going to erase the Harpies above but as Leon modified the original message I cannot modify it anymore.
No no, no worries... I`m just really taken by the Harpies is all. Where ever you got them (I think I know already when I think about it, so will check it out later) I aim to get a few for myself. I see a lot of game potential for them.
One of those very rare moments when I deviate away from all things Pendraken and flesh out my collection with a unit of something else... I do that with N Guage Railway stuff sometimes as well.

No worries, as long as there is some Pendraken-y goodness included, it's fine! Where are they from then, just out of curiosity?
Games Workshop`s 10mm Warmaster range.
Looks like about 10/12 plastic minis in a blister pack for £12.50 plus postage (an additional £5 outside of England). Not something I`d normally consider... pricewise alone... but I do like these little guys for what they`d add to my personal Ravenloft/Horror theme.
Warmaster figures aren't quite that expensive, most packs are £8.70 for a unit, and they are still metal. The number of figures varies depending on the type, with infantry it's typically 36, for cavalry it's 12 and for some large creatures 3 or even just 1.
They are nice figures, with lots of detail. They are cast in strips which some people love, and others hate. The worst is that they haven't made any new for some years now, and have retiried some of the more unusual figures, and even whole ranges.

I just checked the price... £12.50 plus postage outside the UK :(
But they are excellent aren`t they... I have a few of theirs already. Good that they aren`t plastic though; I`d forgotten most of their Warmaster range were made in metal.

Really? The chaos harpies are £8.70 on the UK site

I always forget, we work in Euro`s... its 12.50 in euro not pounds... sorry Fred. So 12.50 plus 5 euro postage charge = 17.50

You can find Warmaster bargains on Ebay. I remember paying 3 GBP for that blister of Harpies....three years ago :P
Thank you for your kindness Leon but anyway I'll try to post only Pendraken's pictures from now onwards :)
You'll be very lucky to get Warmaster figs for £3 on ebay now. Prices have gone up a lot - often going for near (or even over) retail now.
