Try Crocodile Games for Fantasy Egyptian minis, I believe they are coming out with some Greek/ Roman types, but don't know if they are available yet. These are definatly Fantasy type minis, if you are wanting something more realistic try the historical lines. I am not familiar with the historical lines so someone else will have to point you to the best companies for those.

Ral Partha used to do some historicals, but I don't know if Iron Wind Metals is producing them or not.

 

Hope that was of some use to you. ::):

There are a boatload of greeks and romans available. What scale are you looking in? 6mm, 10mm, 15mm 28mm, 54mm ?

 

Foundry does soem expensive, but nice 28s

Renegade has Romans, and I think greeks

Black Tree Deisgns

Old GLory

 

Actually - loads of little companies too.

 

Xyston makes some brilliant greeks in 15mm

Feanor, listen to The Man here. SaintRigger knows the historical mini market.

 

 

Honestly, though scale is a pertinent issue when looking for any historics, lets chop up your potential profile:

A: you are presently a player of WHFB/WH40K/WARlord/DnD/etcetera...

B: you are inspired by 300

C: you are not a historical Gamer presently

 

i recommend 28mm scale mini's, just off of familiarity and size adaptation.

Go Wargames Foundry if you need a vast amount of regimented martial poses, and have no fear of seeing a penis cast in pewter.

Old Glory doesn't offer a variety of what kind of greeks you get, but it does have made in america 28mm Hoplites.

Crocodille games is good if you wanna get your GW-esque 'greek' on...

Xyston actually makes some neat 28mm heroes...but they are "standing dude" in pose.

Vendel mini's look good, but i think they are UK only....

AVOID DIXON!!! (unless you are headed to big-head-cartoon greece)

 

that's my two cents, however unexperienced by compare.

 

SaintRigger, what better choice might you add in 28mm??

Inspired by 300, I'd go with the Crocodile "Wargods of Olympus"

Those are some great Spartans

Oh, AND they are going to be readily available SOON:

Gametrade/Previews has them in the runnings for a summer release to the public.

(in Idaho, that means middle of July sometime at the earliest...)

 

should i......?

 

(PS: Edit: incase you need to know....those Croc' Spartans were special availability for the longest time, being up for convention goers and E-bay fanatics only...)
