I don't recognize them but back in the day Alternate Armies did a line of Space Orks that looked a lot like GW's RT orks.
They don't have them up now:
http://www.alternative-armies.com/
But check their Ion age page or do some searches on that.
Or try TMP, they know everything.

That center model is absolutely amazing. Would love to get my hands on one. Where did you get it from?

Moz:
You: "Hold on, you rammed, that's not a tank shock"
Me: "Ok so what is a ram, lets look at the rules."
Rulebook: "A ram is a special kind of tank shock"
You: "So it's a tank shock until it hits a vehicle, and then it's a ram, not a tank shock, and then it goes back to being a tank shock later!"
Me: "Yeah it doesn't really say any of that in here, how about we just play by what's written in here?" |

I'm guessing they're either Rogue Trader models, or some sculptor was inspired by RT artwork.

They're not GW models.
There were various companies around in the 90s producing GW lookalikes. Probably from one of them.
Do they have anything imprinted on their slotta tabs?

Ah . . . my brother has a bunch of those mini's. They are Demonblade Orgs. The center one is a warboss and the other two are cyborgs. Lovely minis. Like DaBoss said, absolutely amazing - especially considering what GW was putting out for orks in that time period (mid-late 90's, IIRC) Wish we would have picked up even more of them before GW clamped down.

Demonblade did a game based on the GWAR group. You can still find them running around. I picked up a bunch of thier hippie love fest chicks ( Squaws or something.) they make nice Necromunda ratskins.
Info at this time, via TMP, is that they renamed themselves, XB9 games. The address is Clifton Heights, PA They had something to do with the game," Shockforce" XB9 looks to be as well out of buisness, but BACK IN THE DAY, they did some great 2nd edition knock offs. If you can get hold of the store, "Altered States" in syracuse NY, I think they might, as in long shot, ten to fifteen years ago might still have some of the figures running around in the bargan bin. They were a great store, back in the day, and the gang up there has a good hookup with a store up in Ontario for those hard to find, obscure minis.
Reference, The Miniatures Page, Altered States, game store in syracuse NY.
Hope that helps.
