I recently picked up a large lot of 2nd hand miniatures. Included with the lot were the remains of the sellers Armorcast/Epicast resin collection. I don't know if it's all from those companies, but it's in the same style. I've manged to identify a few of the parts, but I'm unsure about most of it. If you could help me out with placing these items I'd be really thankful! I'm not quite sure if these are worth anything or even selling well, or if I want to keep them and use them for some of my own projects. I mostly would like to know some background, where these are from and what these are

Image 1: Epicast Death Blades
The only thing I can find about these is an old forum thread where they're offered for sale.


Image 2: Miscellaneous Large Vehicles
These look like the large epicast vehicles in style but don't look like any on the CCM page.


Image 3: Miscellaneous Small Vehicles


Image 4: Guns for tanks?


Image 5: Large weapons
These look like the weapons of the Armorcast Eldar Knight Titan


Image 6: Tzeentch
I found one or two auctions on Ebay that call this a Silver Tower of Tzeentch. They certainly look like a large-size of the old epic model, but I cannot find anything about it being released. Looking at the ebay auctions, it seems incomplete.


Image 7: Bright Stallion
This looks like the unreleased Armorcast Eldar Bright Stallion. The parts are in 2 different kinds of resin, white and orange. Unfortunately this one's missing it's weapon arms. Also came with a huge amount of small spirit gems.


Image 8: Mechs
Solved! Battletech Clan Elementals.


Image 9: Icons
The chaos icons to the left are -really- thin and translucent. The small Admech icons are a bit rough around the edges too.


Image 10: Skulls
Assortment of various skulls. Looks like the unreleased Titan Chaos Spikes + Symbols.


Image 11: Spikes
Assortment of various spikes. Looks like the unreleased Titan Chaos Spikes + Symbols.


Image 12: Walls
Solved! Hirst Arts Walls.


Image 13: Walls


Image 14: Walls


Image 15: Walls


Image 16: Roofs[b]


[b]Image 17: Windows

These came with the transparent inlays to put behind them. They say 'Armorcast'.

Yup, armorcast did do resins for battletech at one stage - large scale stuff (compared to the 6mm that battletech used) - including the hulking mechs.
These were clan elementals (powered armour troops) that probably came out around 1991 (when 3050/ the clans came out). The backpacks contain their jump jets and a missile (2) launcher system.

#4. The ones on the right look like gobsmasha guns for orky battlewagons (small ones - armorcast did them in 40k scale - they were epic vehicles - but WD did have templates for building your own back then, too).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

Thanks all!

The Clan Elementals are definitely the large scale resin ones.
The guns on #4 look a lot like the ones on the Gobsmasha but there's a few subtle differences. They might be homebuild + homecast, or bought from someone who build them by themselves.

No idea what they're from, but #13 and #16 clearly go together as some sort of cathedral roof.

re image 4 - i think the first 2 might be hip/thigh parts to a titan rather than guns.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!
