My friend recently inherited a large collection of Fantasy and 40k models, and had no interest in either game. Luckily, he offered me first crack at the collection, and I bought as much as I could. There are lots of old, out of print models and many new and sealed. I would like the community to help me identify and value some of the more obscure pieces. I'm just starting to go through them now, and have found the following:



Automatically Appended Next Post:
I am aware that the sealed Vect is worth quite a bit, but there are so many other obscure models that I don't have knowledge of. Any help would be appreciated.

The fourth image is a Wych, possibly a squad leader.

The fifth is a Dracon, I think.

The sixth image is... looks like Raveger bits, some DEldar Warrior special weapons, and possibly a Scourge in the middle?

I actually think that image six is another Asdrubael Vect model, as it has bodyguards and a slave girl.

More pictures would help. My x-ray vision seems to not be working on your pics.

That limited edition cardboard box could be worth a buck.

In all seriousness. How should we know if they are filled with necromunda gangers or starter set saurus warriors.

need lots more pictures to figure out what exactly you have.

Sorry everyone, digging through stuff now. I don't need everything identified, just things I'm unsure of. For example, I just found Lelith, Urien Rakath, and a few Haemonculi among the bits. Anyone wanna hazard a guess as to what this guy may be worth?

Old doesn't always mean best, and this stuff isn't really old enough.
Lots of the Dark Eldar range has been superseded and worth very little.
Same goes for lots of other factions/kits from that era but there may be a few valuable bits tucked away.
More pics please.

Or this?

Do you have an eBay account?
It's worth getting one just to be able to check the prices of items through the 'Completed Listings' setting.
I'd like a copy of the primer and I think there was another book like that too but probably wouldn't be worth shipping.

Oh man, you seem to have good stuff in there (this little book is a " in game fluff" book.
A book for guardsmen, which describe how to deal with a wound/an unjury, xenos, etc...
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Alex is wright, an ebay account would help.
Do you have any arbitrator model ?

The Dark Eldar mini's I can identify.

The 4th pic in first post is a Beast Master. The next is a male sybarite with agonizer and splinter pistol. The next pic with mixed components: there are 4 models which look like they are holding a weapon on their shoulder (the weapons are missing), the missing weapons are blasters and shredders for certain (and maybe darklance); these are Dark Eldar Warriors. Although I don't see the weapons in the pic. And there is a slave girl as well on the left.

There certainly is a lot of bizarre stuff I've never seen before. What are these?

Genestealer Hybrid on the left, Magus on the right.

Thank you. Anyone seen this model before or have an idea of it's value?

Also these

This is dated 1989

These look like old killa kans, or maybe deff dreads.

Could these guys be for Fantasy?

No. They're more Dark Eldar.

What models are they?

This is an old Dark Eldar Beastmaster


This is an old Dark Eldar Sybarite


This looks like parts of several kits. Part of Asrubael is in here, as well as some Ravager bits, and it looks like some infantry Dark Eldar warriors with Dark Lances


This is the Arch Zealot from the Redemptionist Gang from Necromunda.
See here: http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Necromunda_1995_-_1997_-_Collectors_Guide


These are 2nd Edition Genestealer Magi (Maguses...whatever)


This is Vespero from "Vespero's Vendetta", a Regiment of Renown in the Dogs of War army for Warhammer Fantasy


These are 2nd Edition Ork Dreadnoughts, which used to be crewed by Grots as there were no such thing as Killa Kanz yet.
See here: http://www.solegends.com/citcat911/c2065orkdreadnoughtz-01.htm


These are old Ork Cyboars


These are the old Dark Eldar Grotesques led by Urien Rakarth in the middle

As far as "value", I think you may be a bit disappointed if you're hoping for a big score, as none of these are really worth anything or particularly highly sought after. The dark eldar are especially worthless since the "new" plastics look so good. The orks are sometimes good for nostalgia factor but that still doesn't mean they fetch a higher price than anything else.

Thanks very much for the information. This is probably a simple one for anyone with knowledge of Fantasy:

Old Vampire Counts Ghouls.

Those are Ghouls released in late 5th ed./early 6th ed. for Vampire Counts.

Websites such as http://solegends.com/ and http://collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page will be where you can find out IDing these things.

I have about 40 of these guys, I was thinking maybe Empire soldiers for Fantasy?

Ricco's Republican Guard most likely; they were Pikemen with an Empire flair.

Thanks very much, a quick Ebay search suggests these guys are kinda rare and a bit pricey.

I think i saw an image of a complete vect kit. That might get a little if it's an original box with all the pieces. Most of the old dark eldar stuff is kinda worthless as they are ugly.

The Vect kit is still sealed in shrinkwrap, and Ebay has them going for quite a bit. Overall, I definitely did well, considering what I paid. I actually want to start a DE army with all the models I have, so the fact that those ones aren't worth much is ok with me (they're basically free anyway, after I've sold some of these things).
