Hi all,
I'm very much new to wargaming - with only minor knowledge of the GW Fantasy genre.
I recently purchased a box of miniatures that I'm unfamiliar with, any help with identification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Heroic_Sumo

All of picture 1 and the two on the right in picture 4 are Kryomek Nexus Cyclo Troopers.
They are still being made/sold by Scotia Grendel. I actually have a batch for sale now.
The third fig in Pic 3 is the torso of a Nexus Talos robot from the same line.
The first fig in pic 4 looks like it's probably a Nexus Colonial trooper, but I can't find a pic of it to be certain.

The unpainted minotaur is... a minotaur. LOL
Either Grenadier or Partha. I can't recall. I used to have him. You're missing his weapon (sword, IIRC).
Blondie standing next to him is an old GW Ogre.

HammerstEIN. As in Ro-jaws and Hammerstein (Rogers and Hammerstein, musical composers).
Several companies have done them (ABC warriors) over the years - including GW.
The three minis in picture 4 are a Nexus marine NCO and two cyclos (penal troopers).
Picture 1 are more cyclos, in battlesuits (still in production by Scotia Grendel)

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
