Recomendation on Mythological Creatures

I'm thinking about building a fantasy Greek army with mythological creatures/units in it.
I'm looking for recommendations on the following in 28mm

Cyclops
Centaurs
Satyrs
Titan
Medusa

So what you got?

Thanks for that list. To clarify recommendation on miniatures to represent the creatures

Ral Partha made some VERY interesting sculpts for a Satyr and Minotaur, IMO. Mostly, the minotaur, really. The satyr was rather "normal."

Here's the Satyr:

(Sadly, the best image I could find in 10 minutes of google searching.)

The Minotaur:

I own both models (came as a set in a blister). They're VERY cool. Probably would be expensive to do in bulk, though, even if you could find them (Iron Wind Metals, perhaps?).

I like them, good suggestions. Still a big fan of Ral Partha

On the satyr how hard would it be to say put a spear in his hand?

It'll depend on your level of competence in conversions, TBH.
I don't have him anywhere handy, so I'm just going on memory.

IIRC, his right hand is open and would NOT look right bent around even the smallest spear. His left, though, is a fist (again, IIRC). The problem is that his hand is relatively small. If you drill a SMALL hole straight through his fist, and drill matching holes into the top & bottom halves of a spear shaft, it MIGHT look okay. Probably at a distance and unlikely upon close observation.
You might want to consider trying to find a way for him to wear is strapped to his back.

I would strongly recommend taking a look at the reaper line of miniatures. they are extremely reasonably priced, and usually can even be found at a discount at online stores. Very nice sculpts as well

Crocodile Miniatures's Wargods of Olympus has several of the critters you want.

D&D minis cyclops crusher is something to look at . It is bigger than 28 though, large monster base. It might fit better than you expect. Easy to repaint and can be remodeled with two-handed weapons.

Nicest and most well proportioned cyclops they made.

CHEAP 2.50ish
Well worth it
