Hi all,

I've been going through my collection and I could use some help identifying some figs that I've picked up over the years as parts of odd lots. I've created a gallery where I'm putting the images for now and will be adding more to it in the future. If anyone has any info they can share that would be awesome. Thanks!

Here are a few I'd really like to know more about specifically

The wagon is

3098 Mk1. Dwarf (Sturm Wagonne) Ox-Chariot from the RAFM fantasy line

http://www.stunties.com/wiki/index.php/Dwarf_Sets,_etc

The undead riders with sword and round shield are

Ral Partha Mounted Skeletal Knights 02-041 (1986)

http://www.dndlead.com/Catalogs/RalPartha1986.pdf

The winged imp/devil with the trident is (a lucky find while looking for something else entirely)

M26 Caluddros the Abominable from Fantasy Lords box set 6006

It would be useful if you could list any markings under the bases (if you can see any), and give a (rough) height in mm as both can help ID things

I'm pretty sure the skeleton cavalry and the elf riders (all of them I think) are Ral Partha. You can still buy compatible horses for them from Iron Wind Metals.

The Undead horses might also be. I actually painted one up a while ago, but I don't recall the brand. I agree with Orlando. Help us out and tell us what's on the bottom of the bases.

If there are markings, try plugging them in to the search engine at the Ral Partha section of the lost minis wiki

First post updated. Anyone know if the minis are Battletech unseen models? That's my best guess, but I'm not familiar with Battletech.

Yes they are. The right one is a Warhammer, think the left one is a Marauder.

You are correct. Are they plastic or metal?

Nice find.

They are unseen, and you'll take a big hit for the missing arms, but they do still have some value.

If you're planning on selling them, I highly recommend stripping the paint.

Good Luck.

Yeah, I got them from a random lot of stuff on ebay. Even with the arms missing I figured if they were unseen then they'd have some value. Good point about stripping the paint. I wanted a quick turnaround with them, but it makes sense if I'm taking a hit on the arms (which I can't change) I might as well not take a hit on the paint (which I can change).

The Marauder (on the left) MAY be more valuable. If you can get that hex base off, take a picture of it. It could be an older BATTLEDROIDS version. Even missing an arm could be worth more cash.

IT isn't the more rare oval based one, but there were several sculpts of the Marauder and while all all generally valuable, some are worth a LOT more than others.
