While you're looking there, be sure to check out the Early and Late Roman Empires (A large number of barbarians, from the pretty-standard Gauls and ancient Britons to Dacians, Early (ca 600AD) Saxons, and Picts; good for fielding various Orlanthi Clans if you like to differentiate that way (I do). Also the Romans themselves can fit in as Lunars or Lunar auxilallies. There is a Greco-Persian War line (Hoplites, light infantry, Persian armored and unarmoured and cavalry), The Viking Saxon and Norman range (1066 era) is good for more barbarians and early knightly types for the West. There are various nice figures in other lines as well, I use Sikh irregulars and civilians from the Colonial Wars ranges, for example.
You can order packs of shields, so you can put rectangular Roman Scutae or Persian Spara on Earth-Cult types, etc, round shields on Roman Legionares, etc.
I think I'll have to update my file of Glorantha-friendly miniatures and post it, since Old Glory released over 300(!) packs of Ancient figures, Foundry has released several lines, etc.

Sheesh, I just picked up a coouple dozen for 50 cents (American) apiece at a con here in California (the selection wasn't great, however). Even back at RQCon SF it was only $8/10 figures (mixed), and $1/figure at one of the other RQ cons.
Know that the metal is probably discolored, a problem with the old Trollkin Forge ones (which are, after all, nearly 20 years old).

I know that I gave Greg my copy of the DC list at GloranthaCon this past May, But I know what his cabinet can be like. but I hear that Tabletop Games picked up the line and renamed the figures. You may need to infer from the names what the figure originally was (Solar Pikeman was Sundome Templar, etc).

If I can find someone with a camera (digital, preferably)...
