The Gloranthan minis were renamed in non-Gloranthan ways, so you will find "Solar soldiers" rather than "Sun Dome Templars", etc.
The quality of the sculptings is highly variable - some are nice, some hideous (and not in a good way). Size varies from "True 25mm" to 32mm or more - the Lunar Antelope Lancers would look okay on the back of an elephant!
For true Gloranthan minis I'd go for Lance & Laser (I just got some preview copies of an upcoming Lunar release - yum!), but for most things various Ancients ranges work fine. Celts & Vikings work well for Orlanthi, I've used Romans, Assyrians, Persians, "Fantasy Arabs", Moors, Greeks, Macedonians, Indians (Both from India and America), Huns, Turks, Polish Lancers, etc for Lunars (it's a *big* empire!)
It depends on if you're a collector and so want the whole set, or a gamer who wants to game around the tabletop. While I have no gripe with Paper Warriors, it's just not the same as pushing lead.

It is by my order and for the good of the state that the bearer of this has
done what he has done.
