My Trojan War ksirmish project has been languishing for a while, but I do have the figures.
The main "Greek" and Trojan heroes are well served by Old Glory, Foundry and Redoubt.

But, there are a few Foreign Johnnies that are notwell covered.
(Neither are the Olympians, but that's another story.)

For Memnon, I use a Lamming Egyptian Pharoah's chariot, and Foundry Nubians for Himself and his retinue. Those new Warlord Games Kushites look intriguing.

For Penthiselia, I have some Eureka amazons, but nothing looks all that … special, as a princess.

What figures do you use for them?

Or, even Rhesus of Thrace? I am thinking of getting the Foundry Bronze Age Warriors if I can get a second morgage on the house.

I'd look for a torso swap between a greek rider on a horse and a Boudacia (sp) figure's upper "works". The horse should have a leopard skin cover.

Perhaps there is something suitable in the old Minifig's World of Greyhawk Amazons:

How about Bronze Age Miniatures, although the armour looks a bit too modern, but what the hades?

Shadowforge may have something in their Dark Temple range shadowforge.com.au

Check out Cutting Edge Miniatures for some alternative troops

Some manufacturers have produced female Scythians – one of those might be a decent starting point for a conversion.

Bull Dancer made some nice mounted Amazons in Scythian inspired outfits. They were true 25mm. I don't think they are available any more, so you'd have to go looking on Bartertown or e-bay.

Not the right figure for Penthiselia, but it is well done. Perhaps she is Memmon's companion

Possible Penthiselia(s), although they are not yet available. [NSFW] link
