Figures ideas sought...

I'm looking for ideas of a figure (old or new school) to represent a crazy,capricious commander of one of my armies who will be based on Elagabalus.Any suggestions of a suitable figure?

Reinforcements

New chaps bought off ebay and arrived of late-

Garrison figures for a Greek/Roman imagi army for Guyleria. You can't beat the old figures can you?

Update

I had set the game up on our bed and had to take it down due to not having time to play it before we needed the bed to sleep in! However with some rooting around and basing etc I have ended the holidays with completed Vendhyans - see back of photo-
Not to mention some medievals-
which are in the foreground of both photos.
I start January therefore with the following  4 armies ready  for Guyleria-
Vendhyans replete with three war mammoths,chariot and rockets (note white smoke trail in top photo)
Keltoi with light cavalry,infantry and loads of slingers with the option of painting some chariots sometime when
Medievals with bowmen,crossbowmen.knights on foot, some dodgy levy and the ducal warchest (see front of first & second photo) to be guarded on the battlefield at all cost...
Roman type chaps - currently using my dbm based figures but hope to add some Garrison instead to the fray.
There are some Emesan/Edessan type city states troops to paint  and who know what else will take my fancy...
I think I am pretty well set up for some games ahead with the "Gathering of Hosts" rules.

Mammoth New Year

In Guyleria the Vendhyan army has taken the field to oppose some Keltoi raiders-
The Keltoi bang their shields and make their war cries...
The Vendhyan general tries to persuade the Keltoi Druids to tell their men to retreat...
but to no avail.The battle will begin as soon as the generals take their stations .
News and photos later,oh and Happy New Year to one and a all!

Bring out your lead

By the way, if anyone has unwanted old school lead to swap/sell let me know- Guyleria needs you!

Mapping...

Recently I created a continent for my ancient gaming- Guyleria .
Named after the famous actor,wargamer and Society of Ancient member,not to mention his amazing elephant filled army of flats.
Moving the mythical camera into closer focus I found these maps/jottings  in my trusty moleskin notebook-


Before and after our trip out to St Andrew's today I finished the Vendhyans (apart from one mammoth) and converted a chariot. I hope to get a game in with them soon...
