These figures are from the barbarians boxed set for Mighty Armies, available these days from Rebel Minis. As their website says:
The Barbarian Horde is led by a General with his loyal bodyguard and includes a Shaman, warriors, archers and chariots, providing you with innumerable tactical options in war.

I also told them:
Assemble wheels to chariots. Assemble heads on reindeer. No basing required.
