Hey i have recently bought a really cool fantasy chaos army for a great price and whilst i know what most of the models are, there are a few which i am unsure about and thought it would be better to get some info from the dakka community about what they are. So take a look at the pictures below and thanks in advance for the help.

Whatever they are, I'd like to say they arent GW. I did some googling on the manticore, and nothing I can find made by GW looks anything like that one.

No idea about the first pic.

any idea which manufacturer would produce a model like this then or not?

I would say the top one is a Hydra and the bottom one is a Manticore.
Don't think they are GW though.

The top one is an old school chaos spawn, from the nineties. The bottom one I'm not sure about.

I haven't a clue about them. The top one has been green stuffed so I am guessing its just a conversion someone has done. Other then that I don't have a clue??

The bottom looks like a chimera, but may be a conversion based on an older manticore model.

Edit: Wooo found it! Chimera!

Looks more like paint to me.

Yes - its the old spawn. Used to love using all the arms and heads for conversion pieces.

yeh its not green stuff its actually paint.

Sorry my mistake just had a glimpse of the photo. Didn't really take much notice of it

Agreed both are GW.

The first one is a chaos spawn (I still own one LoL)

The second is a Chimera

The chaos spawn also has bitz from a couple of other kits added to it. The big crab claw on his back hip is from the old-old Fiend model, IIRC, and some of his tentacles (likke that scorpion sting one) were tails from the old metal chaos hound models.
