I'm assuming that you're looking for 25/28mm metal figures.

Besides the Lance & Laser guys, and the long-out-of-print Ral Parthas and Trollkin Forge, I usually look at Historical ranges.

Depending on your view of what Sartarites look like, you might look at Celts/Gauls/Dacians/Britons, early or late Saxons, Vikings, Dark Age Picts or Irish, or Ancient Germans. You might try Highland Scots from the time of the English Civil War if you like kilts and bagpipes.

You'll be better off searching the web for manufacturers. Try looking at some of the the following. You may need to do a bit of research once you get to a site.

There are a few manufacturers who produce 28mm Celts, Romans, Vikings and Saxons in plastic, which are cheaper on your wallet but take more time to put together before you paint.
