I've had these languishing in a box for a few years. Nothing on the models to hint at what system they're for or what company made them and a search online didn't bring anything up (perhaps I'm searching for the wrong thing?). I'm hoping you knowledgable people can help me out. I'm wanting to paint them, but I'd like to have some idea of what system they're for (if any) before putting anything more than primer on them. Mounted on large 50mm bases, the little squat one is about 1 1/2" tall while the two more humanoid ones measure about 1 3/4" tall. The bases are temporary, just to give some sense of scale at the moment and may be replaced with system specific bases if suitable.

Mech 1 (sort of reminds me of the ebil robot from Robocop... but I'm sure it's not)


Mech 2


Mech 3

2nd request. Present hall pass

1st one is a Kryomek (game) Nexus Federation (faction) Hellcat (Robotic unit).
The Nexus Federation were the human faction in this tabletop miniatures game. The Kryomek were the alien bug/dinosaur creatures with hybrid human/warrior drones, biological weaponry and a mix of units from little mobile mouths to vehicles (published 1991).

Can't tell you what series - The Scotia Grendel section of Prince August minis doesn't have pics to verify (well, they do have one pic of a Talos).


2nd and 3rd ones are Kryomek Nexus Federation Talos units (robots as above) with various weapons. I would have to dig my kryomek rulebook out of the bottom of a stack of boxes to find which ones they are. One has a chaingun and plasma rifle (iirc) the other has an assault rifle/claw combo.

You can still get them from http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3_112_115

Wow. They don't look anything at all like Cylons.

I like the walker dealy, but those thin guys are kinda gangly.

@ chromedog - Extra internets for you for identifying all three! I also now know where that extra bit of weapon is supposed to go that's been floating around with these three thanks to the picture you posted. Had a bit of a nose about the site linked to and they've got some interesting little bits and bobs I think I can put to use. Thank you for helping me out

They come from 1991.

Any resemblance to the current look of cylons is entirely made-up, since these pre-date them.

@Elfboy: No worries. I've always liked the old Fantasy Forge stuff. Back in 1991, they were one of the better UK gaming model companies.
I still use several of my old Kryomek buildings, other terrain pieces and vehicles to this day.

I have two of the Hellcats that I use as ED-209 units in my Cyberpunk rpg (scares the living crap out of the players).

I have mine on 40mm bases (these look around the same size bases - in the OP - only rolled shoulder (WM styled) bases).

Sweet models... I can't believe you knew exactly what they were

It helps when I had two of the Hellcats and one of the Talos models on my painting desk at the time.

I dug them out of my bits box just last week to do some work on them (the Talos is going to be used as a Full conversion cyborg (aka Robocop 2) in an upcoming game and an annoyance to the PCs.
