I've tried to let translate the names of the figs by babelfish.altavista. But
the translator makes very crazy words, or do you know the
name "Carriercarriers carrier" ? ;-)
It's very difficult for me to translate some special names. But maybe are the
following description satisfactory:

1st pic: a Longswordman, a  Hellebardier and an Axe Oscillator

2nd pic: a free Bowman and a riding Bowman

3rd pic: a bridge builder and a Battleknight

4th pic: the Yellow Prince and a Guard Horsewoman

5th pic: a Protection Wizard, a Battle Magician and a Implorer

6th pic: The six keepers of the elements: Keeper of the Water (blue), Keeper
of the Fire (red), Keeper of the Earth (green), Keeper of the Life (yellow),
Keeper of the Death (black) and Keeper of the Air (white)

Please do not LOL if there are some crazy words in it, it would be very nice
if somebody could tell me the right words so I can put an english description
to the pictures.

(...) Battle Magician = Battle Mage, Battle Wizzard Implorer = Judging from the snake in his hand I'd guess he calls and controls creatures. So maybe Summoner? Chris (25 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)
  Thank you for translation! (Re: New pictures of my Black Falcons)
 
Thanks to all of the good translations. I think I know how the figures will be called in English: pic1: "Longsword" - It's a swordsman with a long sword. He belongs to a company which is called "Longswords" because of their long swords. "Halberdier" (...) (25 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)
