Figures for customs?

[Iron Clubber]

Hey, just wanted to throw this out there for anyone willing to provide some answers; where can I find figures to create historical customs?

I've been going through D&D minis, Mage Knight, Heroclix, Pathfinder, Axis/Allies, and LotR Combat Hex for customs so far, but I'd love to have some basis for historical/fantasy units from medieval times such as Achilles and Hector of Troy from the Illad, or Alexander the Great and some enemies from his famous campaigns.

Basically some good figures from that area, and preferably prepainted (Lack heavily in that department).

Thanks!

The Trojan War and Alexander were Bronze Age, not Medieval, just as a little note. As far as figures... really can't help with prepainted stuff, but there are tonnes of places I can refer you to for great unpainted historical figures, several of which I've done my own stuff with.

Yea I'd like to see any suggestions if you don't mind pointing me in the right direction.

Warlords is a great line: https://us-store.warlordgames.com/

They are more a Realistic scale so they might look a little smaller than Heroscape, but they are great for historical.

Yeah, that's one I was going to recommend.
Also check out Wargames Foundry and Perry Miniatures

There are others as well I'm sure I could direct you to a little later.
