Hetairos: Model Ideas
This will be some advice on models and game pieces that you can buy for Hetairos.
Disclaimer: I do not have any links with the companies below, I can bear no responsibility for your purchases, nor do I in any way profit from them. These are just recommendations based on where I've found suitable gaming pieces for my own use. There's also no need to buy models, the whole testing run of games was done with a mini chess set plus a draughts set. I've recommended only 1/72 minis for the purpose as they're small enough to fit on a relatively not-too-vast map.
By ManufacturerEagle GamesThis is the start point, as their Age of Mythology boardgame pieces can be ordered separately and
GREEK
http://www.eaglegames.net/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=EGL700_08The most important sprue - consider getting two. Contains 5 hoplites (NPC or PC hoplites), 5 greek archers (which could make decent Amazons), some spear-armed heroes which could be PC hoplites or myrmidons, a swordsman hero (myrmidon again?), heracles (cimmerian perhaps), 3 cyclopes, 3 gorgons, 3 hydras, 3 manticores, 3 minotaurs, 2 centaurs.There are 10 villager models which could be used as some sort of NPC or minion, and 5 horsemen which probably are the only non-useful bits of the lot.
EGYPT
http://www.eaglegames.net/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=EGL700_07Another good selection.
NORSE
http://www.eaglegames.net/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=EGL700_09This is the least useful of the three sprues, but the dragons and giants can still certainly be useful.
