Hey everyone,

I have a ton of models I’m working my way through and there are quite a lot that I can’t identify. I am by no means an expert I may post new ones in here every now and again.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers.

Parts of the old Empire War Alter.

Yup.
The wizard looking guy is "The Grand Theogonist "
Part of the "imperial war altar" kit.

Brilliant thanks folks, I’ll definitely have a few more over the next few days as well!

Hit me!

Got a few more here!

Last photo is a Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur, and the middle photo is a Tomb Kings thing (I think).


Automatically Appended Next Post:
2nd from right in the 1st photo is a Necromunda Scavvy & far right is a Dark Elf.
Bottom row - the two to the left are Eldar Harlequins and the other three are Dark Elf Witch Elves.

Two on the top-left are very old metal beastmen.

Were they just generic beastmen, or were they from a Regiment of Renown type thing?

beast_gts wrote:

Yes, an Ushabti.

The ladies are haliquins fist two, (avatars IIRC) and witch elves with the swords and big hair

Just generic as far as I know. I think I might have a few somewhere.

Thanks for all the help so far, plenty more to come!

Orion, king in the woods and a Tyranid Gargoyle.

Thanks bud

Got a few more here guys, all of em are metal

Top is old tyrant guard, IIRC. Top line of the middle are the old wood elf elite archers, waywatchers or something to that.

Pic 4: the dark blue Eldar is a Fire Dragon. The skeleton to his right is an old Tomb Guard, sans shield.
Pic 5: the goblin with the trident is the original Skarsnik, but seems to be missing Gobbla (his pet Squig)
Pic 6: the two goblins with spiked clubs (top right) are Clubbers from the old Netter & Clubber unit.

Wood Elves in the 2nd pic look to be the command/standard bearers. Guy with the bow is a WE archer. Guessing Wardancer for the last one, but would be older; don’t reconixe him.

Dark eld sorcerer with the heart stuck on the stick. Other guy looks like part of that range, but I can’t place him.

Goblin with the trident/spear is Snarsnic. He should have a squig. Orc boy of some flavor

Goblins with clubs are part of net teams

Edit:
If you are not aware, http://www.solegends.com/citadel/catindex.htm is a great resource for this kind of thing. It is a lot of data, so being familiar with the era helps a lot to narrow things down.

(Of course, ID the old mini is one of my favorite games. Makes me feel useful in my dotage.)

I think that is actually a Tomb King (the hero).

You can see a picture of it here. (Top row, third from the left.)

Think the first pic is an old Carnifex, possibly Old One Eye, with plastic scythes. Big hair and pistol in the 2nd pic is an old Chaos Thug from Marauder.

Yeah that's the 3rd Ed Rhinofex in all his glory (?).

I believe the guy at the bottom with the whip is a Chaos Beastmaster

First one is definitely Old One Eye aaaaaaand that's where my expertise ends :]

Thanks everyone for the help with the last batch

Most of the units in these first 2 pics seem to have ‘marauder’ on their bases if that helps

Top picture, guy with black sword and armour is an old Chaos Marauder champion.

4th picture, you've got a banshee and a spirit host - those 4 ghost models all go on a single large base.

Third pic, fancy skaven at the bottom right is the old Deathmaster Snikch, but he seems to lack one knife. Last pic second one is Ezekiel of the Dark Angels, one of the oldest Citadel minis still available I think?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Most of the other minis in the last pic are 3rd edition 40k ~1999 - first one is a Marine Devastator with Las Cannon, #4 Scout with Shotgun, #5 Melta Marine


Automatically Appended Next Post:
... aaaand the middle one last pic is a 2002 limited ed Dark Angels Sergeant.

First two pics look to be wood elves circa 5th edition WHFB. Glade guard, command, sorceress, dryads (the tree guys)

Pic 1: Bottom row starts with 4 Dryads. The rest look like a variety of Wood Elf command models to me, but I couldn't say the exact unit types with any certainty.

Pic 3: I think the bottom right model is the original Deathmaster Snikch (missing one dagger), but it might just be a regular Skaven Assassin.

Pic 4: Banshee plus a Ghost Swarm. Yep, these guys used to go on a single base, like Snotlings.

Pic 5: Second model is definitely Ezekiel, one of my all-time favourite librarian models.

Pic 5: (from left to right)
-lascannon (3rd ed)
-ezekiel w/ kitbashed bolt pistol w/ purity seal on top of the book
-2002 dark angels sergeant (limited run/edition, possibly 3rd or 4th rarest model in DA range)
-scout w/ shotgun (possibly 2nd ed/early 3rd judging from shoulder pad distance & head)
-marine w/ melta (late 2nd ed/early 3rd ed)

Thanks again for the help folks, anyone got any more clues on the rest of the Skaven models in the 3rd pic?

Oh also, got a little Necron fella here if anyone knows anything about him?

Re: Skaven, the second one with the barrels on his back belongs to to a warpfire thrower team, top right one is a clanrat, at least the bottom left one is a slave, others too, possibly. Late nineties~

Brilliant thank you. Got a couple of wee spider things here if anyone knows anything?

Depending on scale, either part of a swarm or goblins had spider riders

Anyone any ideas about these elves and goblins?

Cmitchell514 wrote:

So you've got 2 High Elf Silver Helms, 3 Wood Elf Glade Riders, and 1 Dark Elf Cold One Rider, all circa 4th-5th edition WHFB. Also a High Elf Champion and the chariot portion of the Tiranoc chariot.

The goblins look like Kev Adams sculpts, so also WHFB, probably between 3rd-5th edition.

The necron is part of the short window where they existed in metal. I think the range was warrors, destroyer, and lord. Late 2nd, early 3rd IIRC.

The logo on the packaging gives the necron away.

40k 2nd edition logo.
One of the first basic necron warriors in metal (from the limited range of models they had).

There was also Scarabs and Immortals. It was a really small range, and one that a friend of mine played when he got started.

Little bit away from the usual range but does anyone know what manufacturer/series these Lord of the Rings figures are from by any chance?

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring dolls, all made by Toy Biz.

Since they stopped with the first movie I do not think they were much sought after.

Hey folks,

Any clues on these guys? Other than the first two in the top row, they are all metal. Space wolves?

For the metal ones, Space Wolf Wulfen and the Heavy Weapon one looks like a Long Fang.

They look like conversions making Space Wolf models into Space Wolf Grey Knights?

Look like the current (ie 15 years old) Chaos Warriors mixed with the plastic mutation sprue that came out around, oh, 2003 or so?

Anyone know what these vehicles are? I believe they are Epic units of some sort.

Cheers.

Ork Battlewagons & Eldar Falcons in their first Epic versions AFAIK

I believe they might be Forsaken. I’m about 98% sure. It was a relatively short lived kit for oldhammer warriors of chaos. Though there are a few other bits in there.

The two one the left and right side are Dark Elves Shades.

Not sure about the one in the middle though, it is likely a Dark Elf Beastmaster, but I can't seem to find what edition it was from.

EDIT: I think it was likely one of the 6th Edition Beastmasters.

First picture are some heroes from Silver Tower, Dwarf, Human and Chaos Sorcerer.

Second picture are Stormcast Eternals, couldn't tell you what sort though.

Third picture, the big snakey thing (with wings) is Morathi, as is the the smaller figure pointing a staff forward. You've got what appear to be some griff hounds and a statue of Khaine on the bottom right. On the left is terrain. Mausoleum walls. Can't remember where the big gold column comes from.

I have to wonder what armies you played, you don't seem to be able to identify any of the models from any army at all

I have a feeling the poster is someone who picks up cheap lots to flip and really has no clue what's what.

Yeah, but it is at least a vaguely entertaining challenge sometimes and helps.pass the time.

Spot on! I resell lots that I purchase. I have a very basic knowledge so there are thankfully tons that I can identify and have no issues with but I’ll get the occasional lot that I’m not sure on. Most people here seem happy enough to help so unless it’s causing an issue I’ll keep going?

Yeah I have no issues with this trivia game, if it helps Cmitchell make some cash and helps some collector find what they're looking for, so be it.

Besides who doesn't enjoy the moment of recognizing an old model just by the shape of its sword?

Sorry I should have mentioned the unit is completely metal.

Looks like the old XV15 stealth suit could have been the base for the conversion.

I'd bet my next paycheck that it's a Wargames Exclusive figure. As it sure ain't a GW model.


Ah. Looks like it's this one, modified slightly.

Hey folks,

Hope everyone’s doing well. Got a lot of epic units and not sure what these 2 are if anyone can help?

Epic ork Dragstas. Maybe Lifta-Droppers can't be sure.

Definitely Lifta Droppas. The huge magnets give it away!

Hope everyone’s safe out there. Got a little lot of metal guys here that I can’t identify, any help with any of them would be great.

Guy on the left looks like a GW mummy, back from before they split Undead into tomb kings/vampire counts. So mid/late 90’s?

3rd guy in is an armored skeleton. Also late 90’s ish

I want to say the claw handed mini is a very old slannesh demon, before my time, so early/pre 90’s.

What does it say on the 5th guys partial tab? It looks like there are letters there, but I can't make them out from the picture. Even an incomplete name could help jog someone's memory.

Very difficult to make out, that pics the best I could do I’m afraid :(

Also anyone any ideas on what these metal parts could be from? May not all be from the same unit.

Top ones are Necron Spider bits, the bottom two are Eldar Dreadnought/ Wraithlord arms.

The bit in the middle with the red is an old Starcanon.

A tomb Spyder to be specific, but it looks like you only have two back plates and four pairs of legs.


As for the tab, yeah that's pretty hard to read. Maybe try taking a rubbing of it? It looks like the letters are raised rather than carved in, so it should be fairly easy to do with a sticky note and a regular pencil.

The tab appears to say “ASIAN”.

Probably not GW is my guess.

BTW, love that greeny gold, SgtSilver!

Cmitchell514 wrote:

The arms are from the old 40k 2nd edition Eldar Dreadnought with the underslung weapons (the previous edition had them built into the back of the hands). When it was a metal model with the big domed head canopy.
So does the starcannon.



The other bits are old 40k necron tomb spider bits.

I love it too, but I can't take credit. I apologize for any misunderstanding, but that's just a photo I picked out from a quick search for Tomb Spyder in the dakka gallery. My Necron scheme is nothing fancy. Just a royal blue with gold trim and silvery metal. I'd probably be embarrassed to post it here because I only ever got the lord to table ready state.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Part of the problem with identifying that model is the chipping black primer and what appears to be old glue on the tab. The primer coating makes it a bit hard to pick out detail and the whatever that is on the tab is obscuring the letters.

Thanks so much everyone

That's Dalamyr, Umbar fleet master for LOTR. Currently available in the Lords of Umbar set. Looks like someone gave him a green stuff cube over his money pouch too.

Got another few Eldar/Dark Eldar models here I'm not too sure about, they're either all metal or part metal. Any help would be great as always.

Thanks so much

The plastic guardians were first made in a push together format with lasguns.
The metal bits were to replace the lasguns with shuriken catapults.
(In 2nd ed, the standard weapon for them was the humble lasgun, and up to half your squads could be upgraded to the other weapon.

The Dark Reapers were the 1990 first edition version.

The warp spiders date back to 2nd edition (they did not exist in 1st ed) and they STILL look like that (they have not redone this aspect since).

The guardians on the bottom were metal bodies with plastic arms and weapons (the weapons were separately sprued) and you could customise them with a flamer, melta gun, shuriken catapult or lasgun. Or a variety of pistols and ccw. They were first released for RT (1st ed 40k).

How do you improve on perfection?

With Ragnar replaced, does that make them the oldest 40k models in production?

Oldest single mini is Njal in power armour. Oldest mini as part of a set is the Thunder Warrior in the armour through the ages set.

There are a few warlocks older than the Spiders.

Second guy on the bottom is an undead/vampire counts ghoul, from about 1999, 2000. Probably ghoul no. 6, missing his bone.

Short guy on the right is Bandobras 'Bullroarer' Took, inventor of the game of golf, on foot, from GW's Lord of the Rings line.

What Nevelon identifies as a demon of Slaanesh is exactly that, from 1989. 'Designed by Jes Goodwin and Mike Perry' - that thing's got pedigree, son.

The centaur-thing is a chaos beastman centigor.

The headless guy interests me. Any idea what it says on the base tab?

Thanks so much for all the help on the last lots! Got another few I need help with here if anyone knows what they are. They’re all metal and I’m assuming they’re imperial guard of some sort.

Old GW. Mostly old Cadians, but the two on the left side of the picture are Necromunda Gangers I think, though the one in front might be a Catachan officer.
The three guys with flat helms and different guns are old inquisitorial (3rd gen) stormtroopers. The one with a boltgun on his chest and a plasma pistol in hand is a Sgt.
The one in the back row furthest to the right looks like an original RT guard model with autogun.
The two kneeling Cadians appear to be the crew of an old Lascannon heavy weapon. The key to that is the las charge pack hanging from the left side ones hip, though it's hard to see from this picture.
The old Cadian with his left hand at his waist I believe to be a Sgt with Las, while the one with his right hand up and left hand bolter is a Sgt with boltgun. The Fat guy with military cap and shotgun is the old Cadian Captain or Lt.

Totally away from the norm, does anyone know anything about this lot?

Cmitchell514 wrote:

The guys in the back left with oval bases, excluding the larger one in the very back left with the cross on his shirt, are tiny models made in china. I remember getting them for something like 25/50 cents each at a small toy store when I was a kid. Have a whole collection of them tucked away somewhere... Like 4-5 of each model they ever made.

I have confirmed that the guy in the back left of the previous picture is a house Delaque ganger, probably whatever passes for a Sgt among Necromunda models.

I think I just realized why I'm having trouble placing the guy in the front left of the previous picture! If you look closely, his body and left arm are exactly the same as the Delaque behind him, but his head appears to be Catachan and his right arm look to be holding binoculars, which is very odd. My best guess is that he is a well modified version of the guy behind him with a GW Catachan head and an unknown binocular arm. It could be GW as well, but I don't recognize it from any metal IG model in my memory.

Back to the lot in the above photo, all the lighter metal models on larger oval bases look like old Ral Partha or Grenadier models. The bases should have some info on the bottom.
I looked around and couldn't find the knight I was talking about, so I don't know.

They're a mix of some old RT "Imperial Army", "Imperial Guard" and 2nd ed Metal cadians and storm troopers (those stormtroopers did start in 2nd ed, even if they persisted into 3rd ed until being replaced by the metal kasrkin).

There's a few Cadian Sgt models in that group as well.

Thanks for all the info on the last 2 lots! Got a few more here, I’m assuming the third pic are skaven but I’m not sure which exactly. All the units are metal.

Second pic is a high elf champion with spear and a mounted musician. 3rdnpic is shaven but I can only make put a warp flame thrower guy.

Great thank you Anyone any clues on the others?

Looks like you have at least two off this page. I think the pointing rat that's not holding a spear is the leader with arquebus and the one holding a spear forward is the stormvermin.
http://www.solegends.com/citcat19894winter/cat89wint011x-01.htm

Can't quite make out the rest. If you could get a profile shot of the two on round bases, that would be very helpful.

Ah, the one next to the Leader is the musician from the same page.
The one in the middle does indeed appear to be the gunner from a fire thrower team a couple pages after the one I linked.

This page from a catalog two years later is probably more accurate to their age as it has the pointing one with spear. Some names have changed, but the models haven't.
http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991b/cat1991bp220skvncmd-01.htm
So the two point are a Commander with Warplock Musket and a Commander with Halberd. It should be obvious which is which. xD
What was previously the musician is now a Clan Skryre with Sword.
The Stormvermin is now a Clan Rat with Halberd 1.
The Fire Thrower is now a Warpfire-Thrower Gunner 1.
Still not sure on the two on round bases.

Yes, they both appear to be Clan Rat with Ball and Chain Flail seen on this page: http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991b/cat1991bp222skaven-00.htm
Wait, the one on the right actually looks more like the Clan Rat with Staff Sling on second glance. His tail looks like a spike on the mace at first. They might both be as the only difference looks to be what is hanging behind them.

Also, the one I thought was Clan Rat with Halberd 1 is actually Clan Rat with Spear 2 missing his shield from the same page.

Thanks so much, really appreciate all the effort. You clearly know your stuff so do you have any clues on the guys from the first pic? Struggling to find anything on them.

Hmm, no not really. The one with the axe has a built in square base on top of the square plastic base, so he's not Warhammer. He could be old Citadel pre-Warhammer, but I don't know much about their earlier models. GW never used a hex base to my knowledge, so the one in the middle is probably not GW, but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen a GW model on a hex base on eBay so he could be an old Warhammer Fantasy Ork. The one on the right could also be an Old Fantasy Ork, but I've never been fond of Orks so I don't know much about them. I can take a look through the old catalogs, but I don't know that they're even GW.

Found the one on the right. His name is Slice seen here in the C12 Goblins: http://www.solegends.com/citcat198704cja/c198704cjp0038-00.htm I should have mentioned before with the Skaven, but they often gave names to models in the earlier runs and then reprinted the same models later with a generic name. What you have may not be as old as the catalogs I'm looking through, it's just the same sculpt.

A search of the name painted on the base has revealed some possibly helpful info. I will delve deeper. https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Githyanki
Or that name could be a wild goose chase for the mini. It certainly looks close to the images, but may not have been the original intention of the model.

I'll keep looking when I have more time, but hopefully someone else recognizes him before that.

GW used to to black plastic slotta bases in the 80s and early 90s. They also did some of them in METAL.

I’ve got one or two guys on hex bases. Also that crossbow sprue for a project that never happened.

Well holy crap, thanks a bunch! I guess I did know about the old flyer hexes, but never heard of the normal slotta hexes! Or separate metal bases for that matter. Got any idea on that model on the hex base then? I combed the 80s and 91 catalogs and didn't find him, but it was very late so I may have missed him. I was only looking at Orks and Goblins too, both Fantasy and 40k.

IIRC the Githyanki on the hex base is an old Marauder mini from before GW/Citadel bought them out. I haven't been able to find a catalogue pic yet to confirm, though.

EDIT: Here we go. It's one of Bob Naismith's. Looks like I was wrong about it being from Marauder.

Good job! So I was at least on the right track looking for a Githyanki mini. I haven't fully gotten the hang of exploring SoL, so I mostly stick to the Citadel catalogs.
That might even be an original hex base since some of the models have them in those pics. It appears to be Pose 1 - Variant B from those pics.

I vaguely remembered having seen it in an old WD from back when GW/Citadel did AD&D minis (before TSR screwed GW over and gave exclusive rights to Grenadier). But my WDs from that time period are slightly awkward to get at right now, so it took me a while to track down an online source. Found a site talking about Citadel/GW's AD&D minis range that mentioned Bob Naismith had sculpted the githyanki. Which I should have realised, as Bob's sculpting style is quite distinctive. A quick search for "Bob Naismith githyanki" turned up the SoLegends link.

I don't know why I thought they'd done the AD&D minis under the Marauder name. Marauder wasn't even set up as a company until almost a decade after GW/Citadel lost the rights to produce AD&D minis! My memory works in very odd ways sometimes.

Incidentally, the githyanki race was invented by a British author named Charles Stross (although he took the name from a George R. R. Martin story) and first appeared in a 'Fiend Factory' article in White Dwarf issue 12, back in 1979. A lot of classic D&D monsters actually made their first appearance in WD.

Hey folks, any clues on these 2 models? The second one is a Haradrim unit but which one exactly I’m not sure.

First is one of the Black Numenoreans.
Second is Suladan the Serpent Lord. He has an on foot and mounted variant.

Thank you!

I’m pretty awful at identifying different space marine chapters. Can anyone help with these lots? Not sure if they’re all Space Wolves or not, the final image are all metal units.

Looks like someone’s old 13th company army, given the mix of CSM and SW parts. The last pic is a Rune Priest and the limited Games Day 2002(? Might be 2003) Wolf Priest.

It's definitely an interesting mix of normal SM, SW, and CSM. I see at least a few CSM arms and a Khorne Berzerker head, some CSM shoulder pads I think, and a bunch of mixed SW parts filtered in, but the base models appear to be generic SM models for the most part. Perhaps someone wanted a newly corrupted CSM warband look? SW parts are pretty easy to swap into CSM since they have a primal/tribal aesthetic. I myself have a previous sculpt SW squad I was planning on making into Chaos Wolves, though I never got past emptying the sprues and separating pieces for each model. With all the extra parts from just one CSM squad box and one SW squad box it would be easy to make at least one Chaos Wolf squad with generic SM.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, the banners appear to be parts from old Vampire Count skeletons and/or zombies.

A few of the heads look like they might have come from WFB Empire models, specifically the one that looks to have a flop hat and the one that appears to have laurels. The metal torso in the second picture is that of a tech marine, as evidenced by his Gear Axe. The last picture also has a tech marine with the Gear Axe. Possibly even a copy of the same model.

Any clues on these 2 lizardmen models?

Salamander and Kroxigor. Both current incarnations of those minis IIRC.

Anyone know what this piece of terrain is?

Temple of skulls terrain piece.

If you're selling that I am somewhat interested BTW.

Got a few undead models here I’m not too sure on, if anyone has any clues?

No idea on the first pic without doing a bit of homework, but picture 2 is an LOTR Army of the Dead mini and the last pic are 3 Dead Marsh Spectres, also from LOTR.

EDIT- no, the second pic is a DMS, as is the second mini in the last pic. The guys on the left and right of him are Barrow Wights from the Tom Bombadil box set.

Amazing thank you so much! Hopefully someone has an idea on the first guys

From the first pic, pretty sure 2nd from the right is an old Vampire Counts grave guard.

Anyone any clues on these 2 fellas?

Both conversions from random bits. Specifically LOTR Orcs mashed up with WHFB Empire bits.

Anyone know anything about this chaos fella?

Some of their old Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper figures came with hex bases (they had a 2000AD related licence back in the late 80s, with a Dredd rpg, RT boardgame or two. A couple of their Rogue Trooper minis got ported across to 40k afterwards (the southern trooper was one of them).

Was cleaning garage and found my old toy bin.
Anyone know what or where or who this is, from, by?

Can anyone identify the Parts in the picture? I just bought a sizeable bits box, but a lot of this has me stumped.

Most of this is going to be terrain to be honest. But maybe there is something usefull/valuable in here for a guard player. The basilisk gun i know, and the one below it is from a tank destroyer I think.



Thanks!

In the future you should label each similar part with a # or letter so we can help you better.

With that said, bottom primed black pair= IG Macharius sides;
bottom 3rd from right= leg of IK cerastus knight upper leg
primed metal cannon barrel= IG basilisk cannon barrel

you are right ofcourse. here is an updated image.
https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/1074398-.html



3 and 4 arkurian super heavy?
6 rhino hull
7 eldar Pulsar barrel
8 thunderhawk
9 land raider mkIIB sponson
11 basilisk cannon
12 thunderhawk
14 thunderhawk
15 Volcano Cannon side armor
16 Mastadon
17 thunderhawk
18 thunderhawk
24 leg of IK cerastus knight upper leg
27 macharius sides (two lefty's)

6 is a Rhino hull

Thanks! And 16 is a mastadon side piece looks like (internal side up)

21 looks like half a chain blade from a Cerastus Knight-Acheron

3 & 4 look like the side armour from the Arkurian-pattern super-heavies.

9 looks like a MKIIB Land Raider Sponson.

15 could be the Volcano Cannon side armour.

8, 12, 14, 17 & 18 look like Thunderhawk bits.

7 could be an Eldar Pulsar barrel.

Hi, this looks like an Israeli MBT Merkava, not sure which mark.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Having looked around some more it seems that 15 is a (broken) armor plate from an actual titan!

Makes me wonder is 23 and 26 are as well

I am about 80% sure it's a Micro Machines Merkava (Israeli tank) from the late 90s. I had 2 I used as Predators in my younger, poorer days.

23 looks like the front of a Cerastus Knight body - where the head is mounted.

Hey again folks,

Hope everyone’s doing well. Got my hands on another rather large lot of older models, I’ve identified most except for those below. Any help would be great. They’re all metal if that helps.

First 2 pics are RT era Eldar.
1st is a gunner and spotter.

2nd are missile launcher trooper and musician (harp).


Last image is Ahriman on foot.

3rd above Ahriman are Ork Stormboyz (no idea if they're named, RT era).

4th above Ahriman are Chaos Space Marine Champion/Sargeant (left) and Plasma Gunner (right), both metal.

Thanks so much guys

Anyone any ideas on pics 3,4,5,8 and 9?

5 are 90ies Orks in Mega Armour, missing some parts tho - http://www.solegends.com/citcat1996usz40k/c1996usz40kp0064-00.htm

I think the winged critter is a "dark pegasus". Came with a Dark Elf Sorceress. Not the Chris Fitzpatrick Morathi. Just a Sorceress.

EXACTLY! THANKYOU!

The orks looks to be RT/2nd/ish Can’t place them all, but I see some friendly faces in there, and know that my collections stopped picking up any new green in the very early 90s.

oh, and the 4th one on the 3rd picture is a 90ies Mek Boy with a Shokk Attack Gun, but the "Spinning Gubbings" at the front are missing - http://www.solegends.com/citcat1995-6/cat19956p098-02.htm

Thanks for all the info folks, very much appreciated as always!

Hey everyone, got a bunch of Epic pieces here I’m not too sure about. I’ve put some letters on each section to help identify different pieces. Anyone any ideas? They’re all metal.

D are late 90ies versions of Space Marine Razorbacks (small turrets http://www.solegends.com/citcat1998/1998P439-01.htm) and Vindicators (hull-mounted cannon - http://www.solegends.com/citcat1998/1998P434-01.htm), the bulldozer blades (G) also fit on these.

A- Epic Tyranid Dominatrix and Leviathan/Capitol Imperialis
B- Epic Warhound Titan, with random Chaos Warlord bits. Looks like the other bits for the aforementioned Imperial superheavy.
C- Epic Tyranid Trygons and the head for the Dominatrix.
D- Epic SM Razorbacks
E- No idea, too low rez. Either some Epic Ork trukks at a guess or bedrolls for tanks.
F- The heads and arms for the Trygons and another Dominatrix part.
G- Dozer blades for various Epic scale Imperial tanks.
H- Another Warhound Titan with other random bits like Hellhound turrets and what looks like Eldar Titan bits on the left.

Thanks so much!

Anyone recognise these wee tokens?

The Overwatch/Run and Jam tokens are from Necromunda. I can't recall if they were used in 2nd Ed WH40K but I still have my Necromunda tokens.

The Detected is also, IIRC

Edit. I see you have multiple writing styles there. The calligraphy and type printed ones.

Edit 2 hmmm I cant find my other tokens but can find my Epix scale ones. Go figure. I think the Wound tokens are 2nd Ed?

Thank you!

Anyone know what these two epic titans are?

Pretty sure they are all.2nd edition tokens. Recharge was for plasma weapons. The slow/combat/fast speed were markers for vehicles. The blue thing top.roght is one of a pair of markers for the Gate psychic power from the expansion. Jam and overwatch were all over 2nd ed. Amd flamed is reasonably self explanatory

Knights are the original.knoght paladin I think.

Alrighty these are the last ones for today, promise

The OG Ragnar Blackmane and a Rune Priest
Original Iron Priest and OG Ulrik the Slayer
Orruk Megaboss
Random Age of Sigmar Khorne mini and a Plastic Chaos Terminator lord.

EDIT- the Khorne guy is this dude

Those are Knight titans. Imperial.

All of that is 2nd edition counters. The blue square in the upper right is one half of the “Gate” spell effect.

Hey folks,

Got a load of these fellas today, I know absolutely nothing about them though! Anyone any ideas?

Anything on the bases? They look like old grenadier, but that’s just a guess and an era (80s-90s) lot of people working at that time.

Does anyone know what this is? It came into my posession with some ancient (fiend factory-era) citadel and Ral Partha stuff, so it could be one of theirs.

Top pic is a model from Kromlech.

Bottom pic looks like an orc with kombi-burna on the left and maybe a kitbashed mek with kombi-burna on the right.

I'm assuming these are Battlefleet Gothic models, does anyone happen to know anymore about them?

I'd guess that these are the basic Imperial (left) and Chaos (right) cruisers that came in the 1999 box - they were pretty flexible in the variants you could build with one sprue, see here http://www.wargames-romania.ro/wordpress/wargames/battlefleet-gothic/battlefleet-gothic-a-guide-to-assembling-chaos-cruisers-all-types/

Anyone know who these two front guys are?

Thanks!

Cmitchell514 wrote:

Left: WHFB empire white wolf order or empire wizard, hard to tell from that angle, if the model look like a knight with armored torso then it’s a wolf order, if robed then a mounted wizard
Right: WHFB empire Warrior priest on mount

More specifically, the one on the right is Luthor Huss

The one on the left is the mounted version of the Empire Amber Wizard.

I don't really want to make a whole new thread for just one random bit, but someone asked what this might be and I can't quite figure it out.



I thought maybe a Dreadnaught twin-linked lascannon or something, but Google seems to not be much help (or I am not looking up the right thing).

Twin linked lascannon from the Leman Russ Annihilator?
