Pan and the Satyrs

The god Pan was the god of wild places, Mountains, shepherds and their folk music, and companion of the satyrs and nymphs. He was also known as the god of fields, groves, wooded glens and often affiliated with sex and because of this, Pan was connected to fertility and the season of spring. The ancient Greeks also considered Pan to be the god of theatrical criticism. The word "panic" is derived from his name.

I decided that this chap was an ideal leader for the Games Workshop beastmen and similar figures that I had bought many years ago when the kids were "into Warhammer".  The idea of "panic" was also to be incorporated into our rules.

Two Black Tree Designs figures from their Doctor Who range, Nimon on the far right and the large one is (I think) out of production now.  The foot troops are all Games Workshop variants of Beastmen and Ungor (or Gor?). 

A unit of spear armed satyrs form the basis of the "army" led by Panvryed at least they are when they are sober and not cavorting with the Maenads!

Some archers and club armed satyrs led by Hawrnibeest make up the rest of the army.
