I'm your host, Frosty Hardtop.

I bought a bunch of stuff at an auction, and there were two GW models I couldn't identify (up top) and a BUNCH of weird robot models that say "Ral Partha" on the bottom. What are they?

That top left model looks like an old school 40k psyker model. I can't tell cause the details are shot due to the reflection.

Actually, his head and hands were cut off. It does say "Psyker" on the tab.

The one at top left is an old IG Psyker with his staff cut off. I have that model, painted, in my own IG army. The other GW mini looks familiar but it appears that the head and other parts may have been cut off and I can't quite remember exactly what it is from what is left.

Ral Partha and Grenadier were the two biggest miniature companies around years ago. Ral Partha did minis for TSR and their D&D RPG. GW crushed both of those competitors years ago during the 1990s as GW grew and grew. You can find histories of those companies on the Internet if you "google them".

I think the top right is a Necromunda fig, gunslinger or bounty hunter or something.

That's also what I was thinking, that it was a Necromunda figure. Without a face it's hard to remember exactly which one, but I'll second that vote.

alot of those "robots" are old Battletech figs.

The top leftis an imperial psyker. top right is a necromunda guy.

Ral Partha had the old FASA battletech licence for miniatures (way before clix came along).

You have a stack of old Battletech mech minis there - various 'tonnages' and classes. Can't tell a lot from the angles.

The fig, middle row, far right, is either a Vindicator or Trebuchet Battlemech and the fig, bottom row, far left is definately a Black Knight Battlemech.

Can I assume they have no value?

You could, but that might be a bad idea. Those old "classic" B-Tech mechs can fetch a fair price on eBay. The Necromunda and Psyker are scrap, but look into those mechs. They may not be worth more than a couple bucks each, but that's better than nothing.



Ghidorah

It's a necromunda Underhive Scum Model

Edit: woops, no it's not. It's a Delaque Leader.

No it's not.

It's a Delaque mode, Juve I think, with it's hands lopped off.

Arms are totally different from the Scum (Left Arm raised, Right Arm lowered)



Variant Leader model actually.

Damn, I thought I might have got away with that. Too slow!!!

Top left is a old Genestealer, maybe? dont know about the top right guy. the rest are battletech and are about 5-8 bucks apeice to the right person.

top left is the old empire model actually I think....

Top left is an imperial psyker from a brief range with enlarged craniums that did look alittle like genestealer magus.

Top right is the Delaque leader.

I have a couple of thoe Psykers as my IG Psykers. There were three of them, two with pistols and one with an autogun. I can't seem to find a picture of them online.

Top left, Imperial Psyker #2
